GRR: College Men
As March is around the corner there’s the little matter of figuring out who will be in the Men’s DIAA playoffs.
The DIAA championship is starting to garner some interest around the nation, and programs realize this is a good post-season for smaller DI programs, clubs, and up-and-coming quasi-varsity teams.
Baylor University defeated the Texas Longhorns 48-20 Saturday to improve to 2-2 and move into 3rd in DIA's Red River Conference.
It was yet another impressive result for Baylor, which almost beat Oklahoma three weeks ago. This season has been a good one for the Bears, but it has also bee difficult.

The University of Washington has clinched a place in the Northwest Collegiate Rugby Conference semifinals with a 36-28 defeat of Boise State Saturday.
UW is now 5-0 with two games left and cannot be bumped out of the top four.
West Virginia won the Big XII 7s title for the second year in a row, beating Oklahoma 26-19 in overtime in the final Saturday in Norman, Okla.
