Spring ball

Re: Spring ball

I highly suggest going to the rugby game before the football game. I know the women's rugby coach and he is a great guy and has a great team to put on the field. This past weekend the first team beat the Wisconsin Under 23 All Star team and the second team beat the Marquette first team. They are going to nationals, again, and are ranked in the top 10 in the nation.

You might not understand what is going on on the field but there is some great action.

Agreed.

Cap'n, Lieutenant and Corporal Cat will be in attendance.

I was on the rugby team for a bit in college (not UNI), and I STILL don't UNDERSTAND what is going on on the field all the time. haha.

The more people the better. I was honestly shocked to go to the game on Sunday as see as many people as I did. Granted it was only about 50, but for a cold and windy Sunday afternoon for a womens club rugby game it was a good crowd.

Steve loves seeing entire families there rather than just parents and boyfriends of players.

They should push Rugby more. I honestly didn't know they were playing...I'd go.

How many of the rugby players have boyfriends? I think it's great to be so open.

Re: Spring ball

Speaking of Spring Ball...KWWL had some live footage of practice today and I saw Terry Noonan talking to Coach Farley...isn't he still at Oklahoma State???

I think he was hired back once the Human Performance center was opened.

I have no idea how many do. I couldn't even guess make a guess.

It's a club team so it is hard for them to get a lot of pub probably. I didn't know how many people would know about the game before the spring game, that is why I brought it up. I think it would be a great experience for fans of all ages.

Womens Rugby Schedule

I'm not sure if that schedule is complete. If it is, Saturday is the only home match left this spring.

That's why they should be on the message board.

Re: Spring ball

Farley, who is 63-25 in seven seasons as the Panthers’ head coach, said he’ll continue to work closely with his defensive staff, but he also plans to spend more time dealing with his head coaching responsibilities.

“I need to take more time to look down the road and into the growth of our program and how to continue the pace we’re on,” he said. “There are a lot more demands put on our program because of the success we’ve had.

“The base of the whole thing is the time you spend with your players. It’s important to have the system and people in place that your players respond to. That’s why this is the right thing to do.”

I like that Farley is distributing the responsibilities and power. He's really come a long way.
