2005 Standings:

Men's Hockey - tied for 3rd in the division and not likely to ever overcome Alberta or Calgary. In fact, likely to battle Lethbridge for the basement every year. Not ranked.

Football - 4th. First playoff appearance in a couple of years. Lost 32-6 to the Saskatchewan Huskies in the CIAU semi. Not ranked.

Men's Volleyball - ranked 9th nationally. Tied for 2nd in their division.

Men's Cross Country - not ranked.

Men's Soccer - Ranked 3rd in the country and first in the CIAU. The T-Birds are the most decorated team in CIS men's soccer history with nine Davidson Trophies, including four straight from 1989-92. UBC, last crowned at home in 1994, has never left the national tournament with less than a silver medal in 12 appearances.

Men's Basketball - Not ranked and 2nd in their division.

Women's Basketball - Ranked 2nd in the country and first in their division.

Women's Cross Country - not ranked.

Women's Hockey - not ranked and 4th in the CIAU.

Women's Soccer - ranked 2nd in the country and finished first in the CIAU. Lost in the semi finals to Calgary in kicks.

Women's Volleyball - Ranked 3rd in the country and 2nd in the CIAU.

Men's and Women's Wrestling - No program offered. They do, however, excel at Rowing in both categories.

What is with the sudden fascination with the University of British Columbia sports program you ask? Well, they are musing about applying for membership in the National College Athletic Association in the United States and so I thought that the program was worth a closer look. One would figure that you would apply to take the next step if you were dominating the competition in every outing. If you count intermittently domination in soccer and swimming with a strong supporting role for debate and rowing, than UBC is your school.

FYI - The NCAA has never admitted a non-US school and, in fact, turned down Simon Fraser five years ago when they attempted to join.

FYI (2) - At this week's Tuesday debate meeting, there will be an introduction to the British Parliamentary Style. The workshop will cover the basics of the style, the roles of the various speakers, and basic strategy. It's a good idea for anyone planning to attend the Hugill Cup who has not debated BP before to attend this workshop. There will also be an opportunity to practice Canadian Parliamentary debate, with support and comments from experienced debators.
