    A Ute becomes an Eagle.
    Congrats to Thretton Palamo who just made it onto the US national 7's team.

    Just an update on the Scrummin' Utes.
    They seem to have picked up where they left off pre suspension. They are undefeated and lead the PAC with wins over Arizona (1/24) 17-7, ASU (2/8) 46-23 and OSU (2/22) 58/-0. They are ranked #7.
    For those looking for a warm weekend in St. George you can catch the Utes playing #8 UCLA this weekend (3/8). March 15th brings the #2 Cal Bears to SLC. April 4th is the Wasatch Cup @ #3 BYU.
    They could use your support with help paying for Refs and travel, so go to their site and buy some gear. http://www.uofurugby.com/shop/

    Thanks for the update Damage U. Also thanks for the link. Seems like the rugby team is always changing websites and I can never keep up.

    The U Rugby logo is annoyingly bad/misplaced/useless/conceived/executed.

    Ha! That is exactly what I tell my wife all the time, but usually in defense of myself when I exhibit poor taste

    When you think of the demographics that BYU has access to, I wonder why they haven't pried more NCs out of Cals grip over the years.

    I hop Thretton does well, and that his transition back to rugby is as seamless as possible.

    Me too. I'm heading to chicago in Nov with my brothers to catch the All Blacks match. Should be a fun trip.

    Maybe you ruggers can explain why the rugby-football crossovers never seem to pan out. In the article Thretton says he could never figure out how to get separation from the offensive lineman. He always wanted to make plays in space, but he never had space - sounds like we should have started him at LB.

    I keep hoping that one of the crossovers will work out! I think that my short answer to your question is that football is a "chess match-like" game of inches played in bursts, whereas rugby is more fluid and improvisational and mistakes (like Thretton mentioned in the article) can be more easily mitigated. I think that the best "crossovers" are really those who play the sports concurrently in youth (like Morgan Scalley).
