To the Johnnie B Wiley Sports Pavillion (a/k/a, the old Rockpile) yesterday to watch CLA and the rest of City Honors Rugby take on Orchard Park. I'm pleased to report that Honors won both the 'A' and the 'B' game-- 18 of them against, no kidding, 40 girls from No Billboardland; and that CLA played for the entirety of both games.
Which is very nice, but not the story I came to tell. While we were there a bunch of Army Reserves from the Armory across the street were also working out in a different corner of the facility. When they were done with their pushups and jumping jacks they came onto the track for a two mile run. I am here to tell you that KRAC could kick the asses of this particular sample of the Flower of America's Youth-- not that we would, of course, we Support Our Troops-- but even so. No doubt they are better at the shooting stuff, and perhaps this is the same proud boast once made by Iraq's elite Republican Guard, but if the Army Reserve wants to take us on in a footrace, I say Bring It On.
