BYU has an outside shot at knocking Cal off of their throne. I'd love to see that happen.

Yes sir. Byu has to beat Penn State first, correct? Then it would be Cal or Utah and I think it is likely to be Cal.

BYU already defeated Penn State earlier this year, so BYU, as number 2, should be favored to go against Cal.

It appears BYU should have a fair and realistic chance to defeat Cal.

It would seem that Utah is the rugby state in this country. Like last year, one half of the participants in the final four are from Utah.

Favored, yes, but don't they play PSU on Satruday?

Yes, BYU and Penn State play Saturday. Utah and Cal play as well.

I believe Archaea is assuming that Cal will defeat Utah, as we all know he's a Ute hater.

My brother's on the team. I tried out, but I was way out of my league, so I didn't stick around.

I'd be all for us winning it.

My assumption is that this year's Ute team is not as good as last years, and last year's still lost. Of course, if you assume BYU will lose to Cal, that is a safe bet as well.

I tried out for the BYU eons ago, as was sadly relegated to the second and third teams. At that time, no Amis made the first team, so I didn't feel that badly.

Basically, I sucked compared to my kiwi and polynesian brethren. But we had fun.

The Semifinal round is actually on Friday with the Final on Saturday (remember, we're talking about BYU here). I went to the Cal-Poly match and it was awesome. THe guys we were sitting with said BYU should be favored against Cal, but we'll see how that goes.

Any plans to attend Creek? I doubt I'll go Friday, but if we advance, I'll definitely be there Saturday.

Can't. My wife has made other plans, although I would love to.
