Rugby Demo

I was surprised, given the "anti-football" comments I've been reading, that no one has mentioned the #1 nationally ranked BG rugby team's demo at halftime of the FB game. Admittedly, a short sampling of the game, which more than likely, most of us don't totally understand. But I thought it was enjoyable to watch, along with a commentary explaining what was happening etc.
Didn't realize we'd risen to that rank either, but good to hear.

Coach Mazz is awesome. He was my science teacher in Junior High School!

The Ruggers have always been a top notch program in the nation, but the No. 1 ranking is sweet. Don't quote me on this, But I believe coach Mazz's son is the HC now.

More should be done to honor what the Ruby program has accomplished. Can they be made into a collegiate sport or can they only remain club?

Unfortunately, Rugby is not recognized as an NCAA sport. If it does get recognized, then BG Rugby will be a team sport. Until then, it's got to be a club sport. Unfortunate ...

Before you make that a certainty, don't budgets and Title IX have a big say in whether they become a varsity sport or not?

Title IX won't be an issue if the raise both men's and women's rugby to a varsity sport.

On the other hand....budgets may be an issue.
