is rugby a ncaa championship sport in any region of the country?

I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. Hell is just a word, the reality is much much worse." Event Horizon". Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean, I mean plumb, mad dog mean. cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live or win. That's just the way it is. "The Outlaw Josey Wales". To protect the sheep you gotta catch the wolf, and it takes a wolf to catch a wolf. "Training Day". Rashad will beat Rua b/c it's a bad matchup for him. 2/1 odds. Josh Koscheck will dethrone Gsp and win the welterweight title. 2/1 odds on that too.

Congrats Utah!
It was great to see the Utes beat Cal after NBC built them up so much. Keep your eye on Thretton Palamo, he may be playing for the Utes on Saturdays @ RB.

Congratulations on beating the best!

NBC wasn’t just building Cal up. We’ve won the NCAA rugby national championship 25 times since it was organized in 1980. This was the first year of the sevens championship and good job by your Utes to win!
