50 Years on and Maybe St. Bonaventure Has it Figured Out

St. Bonaventure’s run to the NCR D1 title was weeks, months, and years in the making, but the trophy is less important, really, than the lessons the program can provide for others.

Success for St. Bonaventure is more about what the players get out of it. It’s more than just about accumulating players; it’s more than just about one coach; it’s about a sustainable plan.

College Champions in 2025

Some time ago we at GRR World Headquarters posted a video mentioning that there were 31 national-level championships.

Well, that number has dropped a little of late, but we still have 28 competitions that, at the very least, the organization running it views it as a major championship.

Some are more all-encompassing than others. Some are more championship than others.

A college team huddles up.

D1AA Fall Hot 100: Center

We continue with our Hot 100 from this fall's D1AA action.

Center is one of the larger groups, and it makes sense as even when a team is struggling they will have a tough character who deserves to see the ball.

Nineteen players from 17 different colleges are represented.

Tomorrow we round it all out with Wing and Fullback.

D1AA Fall Hot 100: Scrumhalf and Flyhalf

As we mentioned in our earlier postings, sometimes there are a lot of players in one position, and sometimes the list is a little small.

Scrumhalf is another where there are a lot of quite good scrumhalves, but if we take a tighter definition for our Hot 100, the list cuts down. 

At flyhalf we are just anout where you'd expect for this position.
