On a way more serious note, my Super Bowl Sunday turned into a little bit of a disaster. Cru here at KU has a long standing tradition of putting together a giant tackle football game in the afternoon, and then a huge watch party for the game. I love the chance to spend time rubbing shoulders with our guys, so of course I joined in. Half way through the game, I was tackling and bringing down the ball carrier when my teammate Adam came to help finish off the play. Unfortunately for me, he’s a huge dude and on the Rugby team here at KU. I ended up at the bottom of the pile with my face getting planted into the frozen dirt turf. As you can see from the pics below, my face didn’t turn out so hot! No major damage, I was able to get back up and finish the game. The saving part of the story is that the very next play I made a tackle and stopped a trick reverse play that saved a touchdown. After I went home my adrenaline wore off, and I was in significantly more pain, and Katie was very surprised to see my face. I am happy to report that my recovery is going very well.
