... um ... OK, it's a bit physical ... but I did not notice any floor-length dresses there ... or field-length, either ... when I wuz younger ... um ... nevermind ...
Also ... that did not appear to be as physical as certain back seat activities on prom night ... merely sayin' ...

This COULD be a spectrator sport that I'd be interested in.
Of course,the foundation garments would hold the key.
What can I say?I'm a dirty old man.

Man that looks like fun! Where do I sign up?
I was once in a women's polo match that the team shirts were teeny tank tops barely big enough to fit our number. Record turnout, of course.

In the center of the front row in a rugby scrum is a position that carries the number 2 on the jersey, the position is called hooker.

Good find, Ted H-G!
LMAO!
Annie, I think those dresses WILL be pretty much be destroyed by the end of the game. That might have been the goal of the event!

Good afternoon, peeps!
I'm in for the bridesmaids hockey. I picture the hockey puck being in the shape of a bride's bouquet.

OWWWW! my aging hips, Punkin!!

My guess is that this all started when the women of USC needed new outfits, and donated their old dresses to the less-fortunate school.
Nice to see that UCLA finally has a "dress code".

Prom dresses? Those weren't no prom dresses!

Betsy, I looked it up. It was Batley Townswomans Guild Presents the Battle of Pearl Harbour
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | January 11, 2009 at 02:50 PM
Thanks, Jeff.
I wasn't too far off, considering my advanced age and permanent brain damage:) P.S. As I recall, the Batley Townswoman's Guild had the advantage of sturdy handbags* with which to whop each other.
*no Jack Bauer reference express or implied

In Australia they say that you need leather balls to play rugby. Apparently not in Los Angles.

Bah, amateurs. I've played indoor paintball in a hoopskirt, bloomers, and wig/hat a la Scarlett O'Hara.
