Calcutta: Defending Champ Rob Bowder and Chuck deCouto

Here's the last pre-Calcutta posting. I had a chance to talk to Rob at the auction night. He didn't sound optimistic about his chances of repeating. Me thinks he was trying to be coy. Never count this guy out. Meanwhile, Chuck had his infamous smile going all night - we'll see if he's still smiling after running his ass off on the right wall against Nate/John or Andrew/Dr. Dick

Still my favourite Rob photo - everyone looks up to GRay

Dark & Stormys, although the Black Russian is going down quite well as I type this.

Poorly, back-to-back would be too much to bear, ask Gary.

Taylor, blonde like the beer, goes down easier

Bangers & mash at the ‘Judge when Nate & Gary are buying, it just doesn’t taste the same otherwise.
