GRR: College Men
We didn't think we'd unseat St. Bonaventure for losing to Navy 15-3, but in the end we did.
We did that not because St. Bonaventure lost to a Navy team that has been dominant through the fall; we did it because Brown beat #8-ranked Iona. If we're going to look at a team beating a #8 team and saying "eh, what have you done for me lately?" seems a bit wrong.
This past weekend we stopped by IUP to watch them play Wester Virginia, a game the Crimson Hawks won 52-3.
For various reasons (it was cold and wet, I had a three-hour drive after the game) I didn't write a detailed game report, so instead I thought I would approach this a little differently and tell you why IUP is ranked #1 among D2 teams right now.
Big Rivers is down to four semifinalists after Saturday’s quarterfinals, with all of the games being very close.
In a way, the team that came out of this weekend in Great Midwest rugby action was a team that didn't play.
Michigan State pulled off a bit of a surprise result, defeating perennial Big 10 power Ohio State 20-17.
The Spartans win was something of an upset but not a massive one as Ohio State had shown itself to be a little bit vulnerable. They had escaped in a couple of close games and not really been consistent enough to be a sure bet.
