Why is BYU's rugby team so dominant?

Is there something in the Provo water? Is it the coach? We have something like 7 or 8 straight national championship appearances and won 3 of them. Is it the availability of poly's in Utah?

Seems like BYU has a secret sauce of some kind and just trying figure out what it is.

IIRC, Highland hasn't done as well lately, but I imagine it will be temporary.

LDS connection. Also, they play their best & don't rely on mottos

Why would the staff suddenly be treating them like crap? Doesn't add up.

Sounds like there are just sissies on the team who can't hack it. Let em leave,

You're going to trade all the great history Cougarclaw mentioned for UVU?

If that's their attitude, don't let the door hit them on the way out. They can
