BYU Rugby Media Blitz #3

Folks, my apologies for dropping off the radar there for a spell... luckily, BYU Rugby rolls on whether or not the Superfans are in attendance at every match! (Although it could be debated that our mere presence accounts for a few extra BYU tries!) :D

Hopefully, however, all are well aware that the BYU Rugby team have continued their winning tradition in the last few weeks by defeating the likes of Utah State University, Texas A & M, Air Force Academy, Cal Poly - San Luis Obispo, and Southern Utah University to improve their record to 7-0.

Here's the latest from all over the web.
