Magotfest 2000:   From Maj Dan:This is consistent with any (Flaherty tour) road trip.  Read all below.

Deane:  maybe you should mention our award on the web site.  The award was earned by our ability to pick up 6 California players in the Salt Lake City airport gate/terminal bar waiting for our flight connection into Missoula.  The President's XV did win a new trophy that was donated to the Maggots  by the Luctonians Rugby Club in England.  The trophy is not so much for the furthest travel - all though distance is a factor - as for the best road trip to and from MaggotFest.  As I understand it, the trophy will stay with the maggots, with a plaque for the President XV on it, and a rugby ball was given to one of your players as a symbol of your magnificent accomplishment.

Me & Roy charmed the lads into accepting our offer for "game time", and obtained the obligatory beers as compensation.  Then Roy and I wasted about 10 minutes looking for our Mike Bowman connection before closing down two bars Thursday night. We slept in our cars on both sides of the street as sentries guarding the only 24-hour eating joint (Oxford's) until dawn, when  we arose to a magnificent second breakfast, wandered the streets, found Mike Bowman, then checked into the same motel as our imminent British Army victims.  Upon dumping our bags, we proceeded to bar-hop at 10:30 in the morning, coming upon Jay's Bar, where:

1.  My underwear made it to the bar ceiling, aptly labeled (Pres XV's Rugby Maggots).

2.  We enticed 4 lads from Alaska to join our perversion excursion onward to the the pitch.  And the insanity continued through the night.  Thus ended the front end of our road trip.

The results for the weekend: Pres XV won two and lost one by two points.

What is "Dan Watch": Some things can not be described, but have to be experienced.
