And though most of us BYU fans hardly consider winning BIG and ALWAYS a "boring" sort of rugby ;) (see: "All Blacks"), nevertheless your point is well-taken. A BYU v. UVic series would be quite the matchup, guaranteed to pull BYU out of their comfort zone every time and make them truly battle for the W.<br /><br />From what I have heard of UVic. though, I don't know if Our Boys would be quite up to the task at this point ... still, it would be a great learning opportunity.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.BYU Rugby Foreverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692256558579508744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598445108289552268.post-82153586773235791112012-02-20T15:06:25.565-05:002012-02-20T15:06:25.565-05:00How about a North American championship?

UBCs coach Spence McTavish is on record as saying UVic is the best college rugby team in North America. He should know. Start scheduling Canadian teams instead of these U.S. teams you can beat 100 zip and it means nothing. And it's boring rugby.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598445108289552268.post-64877684807841774322012-02-06T11:16:53.301-05:002012-02-06T11:16:53.301-05:00You are correct in the first part of what you say ...You are correct in the first part of what you say ... which is why many of us at BYU are disappointed that Cal is stepping down. It's the ultimate match-up.<br /><br />However, to say that any future championship will now be "hollow" is not only a slight to BYU but to any other team that will now make it to the final.<br /><br />How many NFL teams do you know that would be willing to say, "Well, we're going a different direction this year, and since we've always won the Super Bowl, then it won't mean much of anything now that we're gone and teams that we would beat anyway are competing for the title."<br /><br />...<br /><br />I don't think it will be very long at all before everyone else in the collegiate rugby community has moved on ... especially when they now have a better chance at taking the top spot!<br /><br />Predict what you will, but at least in the short term, BYU will gladly win as many championships as possible! :DBYU Rugby Foreverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692256558579508744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598445108289552268.post-10153075864967630012012-02-05T20:37:00.883-05:002012-02-05T20:37:00.883-05:00Cal beat BYU 5 of the past 6 years to EARN the tit...Cal beat BYU 5 of the past 6 years to EARN the title of NCAA champions.
