Baylor Rugby!

Although some might consider rugby an "extreme sport", most would not pick a small conservative Baptist school in Texas to be one of the front runners for the National Championship. This is not the case however when the Baylor Bears take the field. Winners of the 2000 National Championship in rugby, Baylor always produces a wonderful time for all. Matches are normally on Saturdays at 2pm, and vary throughout the school year.

Equipment: All you need here is a hat and some sunglasses. Admission is free, and Dr. Pepper is highly encouraged as the drink of choice!
