It's garbage that the rugby team doesn't get more coverage in this newspaper. When I look at the sports pages all I see is articles about all these teams (football, soccer, hockey, the list goes on) that, quite frankly, suck. Yet our rugby team is undefeated, and we are lucky if we get more than a little two paragraph article. It's not like we have an undefeated record because we play a bunch of nobies. Some of the teams we have beaten this year include michigan state, purdue, and notre dame. I would bet money that the BGSU football team wouldn't beat any of these schools' football teams. I speculate that rugby is a club sport here at BGSU, rather than a varsity sport, because rugby is a relatively unkown sport in America. However, ask yourself, who does a better job of representing the university: teams that get beat a lot (football, hockey, soccer), or a team that is undefeated on the season (rugby)? We wear a falcon on our jerseys just like any varsity sport, and our accomplishments are remarkable, yet it is as if we are shunned away into a corner.
