GRR: College Men
Cal, Grand Canyon, Saint Mary's, and Central Washington all logged impressive victories over the weekend.
We talk about the opening of the Florida Conference, and that's an almost non-stop run for that group.
Many other conference mix in some non-conference games, but we do have a California Conference game between Cal Poly and Saint Mary's. While the Gaels are favored, this is a continually improving Cal Poly side so let's see how much of an improvement.
The Mid American Conference has named its all-conference selections.
Conference champions Louisville has four players in the 1st team all-conference and conference runner's up have six. The 1st team all-conference selection includes a 16th, utility player. The list is led by Western Michigan prop Ivan Delgado, Louisville lock Chris Jensvold, and Pitt fullback Chris Hanak.
The Florida Collegiate Conference received a good piece of praise from GRR and as the FCC returns for its 2023 season, let's revisit that.
The idea that the USA and Canada should cooperate in developing high-level rugby extends past the national teams, and certainly has a place in the collegiate game; witness then this past weekend's clash between Canadian champions UBC and USA runners-up (spring 2022) Saint Mary's.
