Newport beckons with the promise of soft turf, warm breezes and cold beer. Get out, get a life, and get down there. Be at the Park n' Ride at 5am (yes, that's right, 5am) on Saturday morning so you can get there in time for our first match at 9. Once again we are matched against Providence, who we always go toe-to-toe with, so your presence will make a difference.

Accomodations for Saturday night are all set with Willam and Lowie (sp?), and by all accounts their hospitality is legendary. Bring sleeping bags, tents and pj's and you can crash somewhere in or around their house.

Some have said that there is an Anglocentric prejudice to my postings on this site, and to that I just have to say, "that's bloody bollocks!". But, in an effort to recognize contributions to world history by other nations, I have scoured the web for evidence of other civilizations.
On this day in Irish history: it rained.
On this day in American history: Charles Lindberg (1927) and Emelia Earhart (1932) both decide to leave America but accidently land in France and Ireland respectively, and naturally they decide to go back.
On this day in German history: Sixteen year old Otto III was crowned Holy Roman Emperor. That's just a silly name.
On this day in French history: everyone wore skirts.

I rest my case.
