Top 25 Italy Moments #18 – The Porcupine Kick – was one of those nights that could have never been scripted and the replay in my head is almost as good as the moment itself.

#18 – The Porcupine Kick (Il Riccio Calcio) – It was a gorgeous fall evening in Assisi and our class were all dispersed atop the hill and enjoying the cool evening around the walls of the ancient La Rocca Maggiore. Of course after a big meal there was much consumption of cheap wine in unmarked bottles and as always someone (me) would bring a bottle of liquor because they did not enjoy wine at the time (heresy). Our class of fall Romers in 1992 was the largest of all time and the hotel normally used by the school could not accommodate the whole class.
