MEET THE FALCONS
Profiling the Current Falcons and Old Boys
This week meet Brian Bidders aka Butters
It was after a hard fought matrix match against Newport News on a cool September afternoon. The scene was the Newport News Social. From the dark hallway that separated the bar room and the patio outside came loud screaming from the restaurant manager. Looking around you could tell that nobody knew what this man was shrieking about. Only the perpetrator himself knew of what a despicable act he had just committed.
One thing is for sure, the manager knew who to blame. Surely it was one of those rowdy rugby players who were singing on the back party deck. The first rugby player he saw would have to feel the wrath. Sure enough walking up to the Bathroom at that very instant was Brian Bidders aka "Butters". The manager pointed at Butters and then at the Bathroom. Butters peeked his head inside the Bathroom and then started screaming himself. "Whoever did this, this is B. S." shouted Butters to the restaurant.
Sure enough, anybody in a bars worst fears were met. There was puke all over the Bathroom wall. As somebody was using the urinal they turned their head towards the bathroom stall and proceeded to heave all over it and then leaving it for the other customers and employees to deal with. Butters then was given a mop and cleaning supplies forcing him to clean the vomit up. Later that evening, Steve Murray admitted and apologized that he was the unknown vomiter to Butters.
Butters playing Tight Head Prop
It was his very first practice as a Falcon. Coach Szuch said, "What's your name?" With a thick Northeastern accent the young Falcon replied, "Brian Bidders". Coach then started with his his famous chuckle and said "Butters" and then continued to chuckle. The reference was made to the character on Southpark and the nickname instantly stuck as the rest of the team laughed.
Butters will be traveling back from Alaska, where he now resides, to play with the Falcons in the Tidewater Invitational Tournament. Here is his Q & A session.
1. When did you play for the Falcons?
Played starting in 04 game 3 until July 07 I got the nickname Butters at my first practice then we went and got shi*#y at Croc’s in Kilts!! I knew at that moment that I had found my home!!
2. Describe what your position means to you?
Being a prop is the baddest ass position on the pitch, it is a very technical very physical position, going heads up with your opposite number at every scrum. There is no better feeling than physically dominating the biggest players that the other team has to offer!!
3. What does VA Beach Rugby mean to you?
VB Rugby is more than a team I played for, it is an Identity. I will always be a Falcon. I have played for two teams since and still consider myself a VB Falcon and always will. There is a sense of great pride that goes along with being a member of a team that may not be the most talented but will never be questioned as the toughest most hard nosed mother f'ers on the pitch!
4. What’s your greatest rugby accomplishment?
My greatest rugby accomplishment is being selected for the All Navy side 2008

5. Who is the Falcon that you have most enjoyed playing /respected the most and why?
Jesus that’s a tough one. The whole first VB team was great. We knew full well that we were not going to win very much but we played for pride alone. It was great. Just go knock some F’n heads and if we couldn’t win on the pitch we were going to damn well win the after party. I really respect the guys who have stuck around and shown loyalty to the team. It is easy to use the team as a stepping stone, but sticking around through the tough times says something about the mettle of a man!
6. What is your funniest Falcons Memory?
Easy, seeing Szuch knock out three people with one hit, himself included. He came off the pitch got his head taped up and told us that he was going to go swimming again and tried to go back on the pitch.
Butters as the Mamogram 2000
7. Best Memory on the pitch?
I took a cheap shot from someone who thought I was Szuch. Then Nick, who at this point was our 16 year old phenom hooker, came out of nowhere with a flying knee to the head of this full grown man. He then proceeded to attempt to take on the rest of the team screaming about “no one fu#&s with The Beach Front Row”
8. Where you live and what are you doing? Future plans?
At the present I am on an extended vacation in Kodiak, Alaska where I spend most of my time fishing and hunting. I take trips every few months down to Cali where I am fortunate enough to play with the San Diego Old Aztecs (thanks Blocksy). I hope to get transferred back to Virginia Beach in time for the fall season of 2010.

9. High school, hometown?
I attended Lynn English High School in Lynn, Ma Where I was 195 lbs and captain of the swim team. I owe my manhood to the Falcons!
10. Favorite movie? 300
11. Your hero?
Stephen Murray after 10 rums …… oh, and General Patten
12. Favorite vacation spot?
Vacation spot? I’m living in it!! I’m ready for this vacation to be over and get back to some Rugby!!
Butters in Alaska
13. Best quote of all time?
I’ve got three almonds and an apple peel…. I’m going in!! (Random student up here in regards to a fat local chick)
14. If you were President what would you do for the country to make it a better place?
I would reinstitute VERY PUBLIC Executions
15. If you were the Falcons President What you do for the Falcons to make them a better organization?
