Tennessee Rugby are National Champions

[TennesseeRhett]

For the second time in their 55 year history the UT Rugby Football Club have won a national championship, coming from behind to beat the Bowling Green Falcons at the Championship tournament in Houston. They also beat Bowling Green to win their first natty in ‘21. This team has been consistently one of the highest performing programs on campus over the last 20 years, and deserves tons of recognition. I’d love to see them at halftime for a football game next year.

This is real collegiate athletics. Students who are at UT to, you know, get an education, who also want to play a sport while they're at it. This is what football would have been like it, I don’t know, 1910 or so.

100 percent. These guys absolutely bleed orange, and play for the love of the game, their school, and the guys next to them. The alumni of the rugby team do what they can to support them, but these guys mostly cover their own expenses to play. Collegiate athletics at its absolute purest right here.
