GRR: California Collegiate Conference
We're back with Gamebreakers for DIA. Here is who got noticed from February 8.
Jack Springer, North TexasThe powerful UNT lock thundered through for UNT’s opening try and set the physical tone with several big carries and clearouts in his team’s 31-19 defeat of Baylor.
This Week in College Rugby this week looks at the big BYU vs Saint Mary's game coming up.
Matt McCarthy breaks down that game, while Gift Egbelu takes an artistic approach to discussing the opening of the second alf of the Mid-South season.
Alex Goff looks closely at Cal's win over UCLA and closer still at how North Texas sprung a surprise on Baylor.
Don’t look now but there’s a major college game in the California Conference in one of the earliest weeks.
Yes, so Saint Mary’s is atop the conference at 2-0 and is favored to be 3-0 by weekend’s end. But who can chase the Gaels? Cal Poly is much improved this year, and Grand Canyon, the #2 team out of the conference last season, is back.
As usual it's a bit of a hedge maze to navigate the US DI college, but we've still got to navigate it.
Right now we have 70 teams in D1A, the most ever. They are split into the following conferences (or not conferences). We've got some links to more detailed articles if you want them.
If you're wondering why there's no confirmation on what teams are in what DIA conference, it's because there are still some decisions to be made.
