Spring ball

Re: Spring ball

I don't think Rugy has ever tried to claim itself as football. Rugby is rugby around the world. I brought it up because of a game before the spring game, trying to get people to go see something other than a main stream sport. Expand their horizons some. However, we all know that in Iowa that isn't too welcome

Re: Spring ball

Get a grip Stein. He never claimed to be an expert... it appears he was simply stating what many others could be thinking... 'why are we comparing "most dominant rugby squads in UNI history" in a thread about UNI spring football?'

And yes, I understand you didn't start the conversation about rugby and threads on any message board are apt to go on very random tangents. Still think his overall point is valid, even if the dig at the popularity of the sport may not be necessary.

So lets get back to spring ball...

Anyone been to practices yet? Who's looking good? Any injuries?

Thank you for understanding. Can we please move on?

Re: Spring ball

mad cat is right, lets talk real football

but no one around here seems to care about REAL football (AKA "soccer") anyway. haha.

don't get me wrong, I love the sport of American football. But the actual name "football" is just more applicable to soccer, as in American football, there are very few kicks.

But I digress.

Re: Spring ball

Haven't made it up to a practice yet. Haven't heard of any injuries.

"Farley said UNI didn't suffer any new injuries last week, but freshman defensive lineman Ben Boothby of Clinton will need surgery to repair his injured wrist and won't see any action this spring."

Re: Spring ball

I'm excited for the spring game today. I hope I can get off of work in time to make both the rugby game and spring football game. I'll either make both or neither. I've seen a lot of the football players this morning and they all seem ready for the game. Hope there are a ton of great battles today that help the team get better

Just so that I am understanding the new rules correctly, it's not OK to discuss who is a real fan. But it IS OK to discuss what Panther teams play a real sport?

That doesn't seem right does it? But it must be OK.

If you are talking about PANTHER rugby it is still a UNI sport. It doesn't involve any other school

Re: Spring ball

Um.

As far as all the women rugby players that I know of at UNI...no, they do not have boyfriends. They have significant others, but I don't believe a majority of them have boyfriends.
