The Cal-Berkley trip was strange....We played them in an actual match the morning before the football game and the match lasted until they scored a final converted try to win (longest game I've ever been in!). We then played them at halftime on the football field for the amusement of the paying customers.

Memorable Events

In the Ruggerfest, Doug Hagedorn ran through the back of the try zone, negating the try that most certainly would have changed the loss to a win. (Later in the spring at the college tournament, certainly remembering this, he touched down at the 5 meter line, much to the glee of the awaiting defenders on the goal line!)

At the same Ruggerfest Al Osur was rewarded for playing with the Barbos against USAFA by being thrown into a mud puddle.

At Berkeley, the team stayed in Frat houses and the coaches crowded into a Holiday Inn. On the bus to the plane, Coach Osur complimented the team on their behavior as only one person was obnoxiously drunk and he(Osur) promised not to do it again!
