Why Austin Texas when 2 of the conferences are Nor Cal and So Cal, and a third is in the Pacific Northwest? I guess the at-large will be a Texan team? This seems short sighted. You would think it would be in Nor Cal to accommodate the 3 conferences that are already in that "West" group.
ReplyDeleteSpecifically, the Austin RFC is hosting this at Burr Field.
DeleteTexas collegiates have been travelling to both coasts for years. The Pacific collegiate teams that will actually qualify for this round of playoffs will not groan too much.
Texas is a crap location to play rugby in the spring. It will either be wet or hot and humid. Three teams traveling from the coast doesn't make sense. Let's hope no gun nuts show up to the after match. Can we give Texas back to Mexico?
DeleteDid you ever stop to ask if any places west of Texas actually submitted credible bids for the event? I never even heard of any being interested.
