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.

There were at least two articles about the defensive ends from Troy and how tough they were...and once they beat them where were the ones saying our tackles handled it?

Plus with article titles like "Falcons blow early lead, fall to No. 25 Missouri" and "Final score not the only thing that didn't go right for BG in loss to Missouri" it seems like our writers are more in favor of Missouri than the school they attend. When students read that sort of thing it doesn't help encourage support for our team. For every good thing that is written their is 3 negative. Who is paying these people anyway? I sure hope the university isn't because I'm sure there is better out there for any sort of money.
