re: Former Athletes Thread (Weekend Warriors included)

As a lowly walk-on DE under Curly Hallman, I made the switch to rugby at LSU in Fall of 1994 and never looked back.
I can't explain rugby to most of you but here's an awfully shitty quality clip of me in 1997 playing rugby for LSU in 97.
College Rugby was far more fun than football b/c they were so much smaller and slower than me. Granted that would not be the case at the next level as I got my arse handed to me very quickly.

I'm the big bald blob in the video.

First few seconds I'm scoring a try(touchdown). That's a normal good feeling.

The second highlight, I run down a Tulane fig, take the ball, pass it to teammate, then follow in support. That feeling is unlike any other sport/feeling.
