Probably worth mentioning that they're trying to raise money to travel to Houston. Unlike varsity sports, they're self-funded.

So if you've got a few bucks laying around and want to help some Hokies cover their expenses to a National Championship, use the link in the next post down from this one, by HokieMan07.

Awesome! I joined the Rugby Club as a freshman in 2000. Sadly, the combination of my high school football techniques not translating (legal tackling in football then, now called "targeting" was always illegal in rugby) and the fact that they played games on Saturday when Michael Vick was QB led to me missing 6 of the games and hanging it up after a semester.

A fun bunch! Glad to see them succeeding!

I played in '88, and had blast. That trust in you ur pads from starting football young was a real issue, and led to a partial rotator tear, but it was the cleat to the bottom of the kneecap that led me to hang it up. Excited for the team and the chance to bring the trophy Home!

Rugby is a club sport at VT. There is no support from the school. Not even a coach.

That was good rugby. Smart alert play.
Incredibly windy so the kicking was poor but they are really well self-coached. Fitness was really key.

I know of an empty trophy case they can use for that thing!

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

Townie's picture Townie | 4 years 7 months #

I'll never understand the value of the empty trophy case. Inspiration? Or reminder of failure? Too much fodder for further ridicule from adversaries.
