Up from the ashes: The revival of the UH men’s rugby club

Lagniappe is a Cajun French term meaning “a little something extra” and has been used to describe what Christian Glover has been doing all summer.

Glover, supply chain junior and president of the Houston men’s rugby club, has made it his mission to revive one of the University’s oldest intramural clubs, which some have believed to been hidden in the shadows and unbeknownst to the majority of the UH community for years.

Mark Speer, the club’s head advisor and coach, has been around the game of rugby and the Canadian Football League his entire life and says he has never seen someone accomplish so much with so few resources and in such a short amount of time than Glover has.
