GRR: College Men
It's Labor Day Weekend and the beginning of a serious series of college rugby games in D1.
Now, this week and probably next we're mixing up D1A and D1AA / NCR D1 because they are mixing themselves up. Only once we get into strict conference play can we separate them (and maybe not even then).
Some thoughts, now, on what's happening this weekend:
Two Liberty Conference Collegiate Conference rivals met Wednesday night in the wind and rain that was the point man of Hurricane Ida, and it was an intriguing matchup.
This week we unveil our Men's D1 College rankings.
Now, there's a lot to say about all of this, although much of what will be said will be said by the teams on the field. What we'll say now is this:
Three well-regarded teams from the Southern Rugby Conference (Men's D2) plus a perennial SCRC contender will meet up this weekend in a tournament of shortened games to kick off the fall in the South.
Iowa Central CC and Iowa State got out of the blocks with an early-season clash this weekend, with Iowa Central coming away with a 51-6 victory.
