Rugby and Volleyball: Champions!

Today BYU's Rugby team beat California-Berkeley to win the Varsity Cup National Championship!

It was a great game that ended with a BYU kick through the uprights to give BYU the 27-24 win!

Tonight, BYU is playing in the NCAA Men's Volleyball Championship game against UC Irvine at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles.  Watch it on ESPNU.  Erik mixed the live sound for last week's semifinal games in Provo that BYU won to get there!  As always, great sound for great volleyball!

Perhaps a little cliche, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to highlight Queen's "We Are the Champions."  As tribute to the BYU Rugby team and with high hopes for BYU's Men's Volleyball team, here it is!

Rugby: You Win!

Today was the Rugby Victory Cup Semifinal!  After recording my last vocals today, I was able to catch the last half hour of the game and see BYU's rugby team win!

A couple of years ago, I started going to rugby games because frankly, the game is fascinating to watch!  I have even been acquainted with a few players who were in my classes.  I really do love to watch rugby games.

I don't understand all the rules.  These are a few things I do know about rugby: (1) the ball can only be passed backwards; (2) points are scored only if the ball touches the ground across the end line; and (3) the word "scrum!"

With today's win, I'm rooting for BYU to win the championship game against California-Berkeley next week!

So in honor of BYU's rugby team winning today, I've highlighted "Alright, Okay, You Win" sung by Peggy Lee even though I have shared it before.  But I LOVE this song and feel that "winning" needs to be highlighted often!
