Slightly higher risk of getting clocked, but you have to realize the bbc report you cited is for pro rugby union players, where like in the NFL, speed and hits are magnified. In college you're dealing with mostly slower less athletic opponents.

Fair point but as much as I really want to, it just doesn't seem like a good idea.

no. go skiing

**Tri-Ungulate** · 09-01-2021, 10:14 PM

Norseman's right (as usual).

As much as I loved college rugby, it did fuck me up to the point that I have to ski with bilateral knee braces.

We are going to have a conversation tonight. If, after a few days, I still can’t get any sleep, I’m gonna go to the housing director and do all I can to get moved. I feel like this is the best course of action as it will show I have been proactive in trying to make things work.

Absolutely a bad idea. Colleges now run on the principal that whoever brings the complaint forward first is the aggrieved party. If you talk, he gets upset, then complains about you, you are screwed. Careful now.

I feel like he should just post the address here and we should all just start sending him random useless stuff.

I am tempted but this sounds like a good way to get swatted or kicked out of school.

Hell fucking no. I played college rugby (wing, outside center, fullback). Do not do this shit with a history of head injuries. Are you fucking crazy?

Fuck no.

You give sound advice regarding my health and safety but just two posts prior advised that I share my personal address with strangers online.

My kid walked away from a back up goalie spot on the Cornell lacrosse team to play club rugby. I asked him why and he said the lax coach wanted him to change his major to get to practice on time and the rugby team had a keg by the bench. I'd never seen the game played until watched the kid play once. It was confusing and after the game I asked what his job on the team was and he said "Not get hurt".

Can you post the address to Harry's storage unit and we can start sending things there?

Yeah you're right. As is Norseman.

I can't remember if I got more drain bamage from the actual matches or the after-parties.

So, you guys are seriously recommending rugby to a guy with a history of TBIs who is trying to remain sober? Yeah, that just screams "good rugby candidate", lol.

**berko** · 09-01-2021, 11:00 PM

Shoot the boot!

Seconded.

A lot of these same guys were also suggesting that SUF have the redhead girl with the possible crazies come out to his dorm. That's going to go real well. s/

SUF: If the roommate is making it harder to hang with the community, talk to the guys in the next room and go get dinner with them.
Also, instead of risking head injuries and sobriety with the Rugby team, join the outdoors club. They'll subsidize gas money and such. And the chicks in that club are going to dig your wilderness medicine and SAR experience. https://msuoc.org

Sure why not? College is all about making bad decisions and fondly reminiscing about them later.

Do I really need to put in the /s?

I mean, for all the bad advice the collective have given over the years, Patrick and Max have survived okay. And glade has grown up to be a fine, um, misanthrope.

...gawd teh TRGs have gotten soft...

My biggest fear in life is growing up to be like Glade.

**Tri-Ungulate** · 09-01-2021, 11:49 PM

Aw, I'm gonna guess he's a softie teddy bear IRL. He's just super jaded from hanging out here too long during his formative years.

I ain't interested in doing Zoom meetings. I'm looking into the Outdoor Rec program. http://www.montana.edu/outdoorrecrea...eadership.html
I like the sound of it, though I'd probably have to stick to the rental shop since I'm planning on doing fire next summer.

I didn't realize they had two outdoor programs. Sign up! There will be way more chicks in outdoor club than at Rugby team. Rugby chicks will drink you under the table (not good for your sobriety). And I think they are all Lesbian, or perhaps they were just politely trying to decline my advances.

Yeah, not really sure why they have two. Just sent in my resume.

In other news, my roommate just powered down his PC and got in bed. Maybe now that we actually have class he will get in bed earlier. Still gonna talk to the housing guy tomorrow though.

What’s your point?

**m2711c** · 09-02-2021, 05:41 AM

But the thing about trying to change roommates is, the only openings for other rooms to move into are going to be in rooms where the current occupants are also having the same troubles that you’re having. Just moving to another room is not going to guarantee that you’re not gonna get another of the exact same type of fucking roommate that you just tried to get away from.
