MEMORABLE GAMES, PLAYS, TOURS, OFF FIELD EVENT: Early in my career against Sarnia where my family jewels were quite rudely grabbed during the opposition's attempt to tackle me.

Miscellaneous: First Big Ten tournament spring of 1974 at Iowa playing in the snow and subfreezing temperatures. Bruce Kingsbury projectile vomiting (5 plus feet) at Angelo Tocco's frat house during a party (circa 1975) after failing to sing the proper words and chugging 3 large beers in a space of 2 minutes as my future ex-wife, who was attending her first (and last) rugby party, looked on in amazement.
