I am a huge rugby geek

So in all my research for my internship for Instituto de Empresa, I've been checking out the websites for the top MBA programs' rugby teams.

Stanford? Has had a rugby team for thirty years.

In that first season? Sally Ride, first woman astronaut, played.

This year and last they defeated Penn State to become national champions. Penn State. AU's rivals, of the sort where they're better than us but we're convinced if we keep trying we can beat them.

One of their girls was the only member of a club sport photographed for Sports Illustrated's "List of Collegiate Athletes to Watch." She's also been on the cover of Rugby Magazine twice.

This is what my dreams are made of.
