Still don't like no mellow :) !
1974 at Springfield College
What we are about
The University at Albany's Rugby Alumni organized to support the school’s team, socialize and play some rugby. We have been around since 1974 and are as strong as ever. Over 600 students have played for the club. Check out the members page for a list. Rugby alumni can be kept up to date by joining the Albany Insider eletter. The Insider emails timely game recaps and alumni news. We also have been adding to the archives with game recaps from 2000 through the present. The alumni team, The Purple Haze, gets together to play in a tournament or two and is co-host of the Saratoga Invitational Rugby Tournament held each August in Saratoga Springs, NY.
Please enjoy the site and join us for the many events we have planned to support the club. .... and remember "You can ask us to leave, but don't ask us to be mellow!
