2 things:

1. I finally got video from Pac7s. If you haven’t already done so, please read the attached summary of the weekend along with links to video highlights.

2. I asked an old teammate of mine from Santa Monica, Scott Boehler, to provide some reflections on his time with USC Rugby. It was a golden time for the program and we’re working hard to bring that back around. Our 7s team has been tremendous; now we need to translate that success to 15s. We hope that A.D. Bohn’s arrival at USC will lift all boats; he’s certainly proven himself a tireless promoter of all Trojan sports.

To help USC Rugby continue its proud tradition, please contribute to our fundraising campaign (link here).

Subject: Re: FW: What USC Rugby means to me

Growing up and into high school I always thought I'd be playing football on Sundays. I had the talent. Never had the size. Thought I'd prove everyone wrong until my 135 lb ass put some giant tail back down (DeShaun Foster of Servite) and ruptured every muscle in my lower back and crushed 3 vertebrae. I sank into massive depression for almost 3 years. James Hemkin and Randy Hastings basically slapped me upside the head and I came out for USC Rugby...a sport I knew nothing about.

2 Pac championships and countless tours in Asia and Europe. Those boys. And the USC Trojan Family....saved me.
