Either Texas or Sam Houston will sit alone atop the Southwest Conference
standings after their clash Saturday in Austin. The Longhorns, 3-0, and the
Bearkats, 2-0, split their two-game series last season, with each team
winning at home.

teammates on Texas Rugby Unions’ high performance team at the West... Read More

The Navy Midshipmen have declined an automatic bid to the inaugural college

event clashes with the Naval Academy's final exams schedule and was never
on the team's budget. The Midshipmen won the automatic bid by claiming the
Empire 7s title earlier this month.
Navy becomes at least the 11th team (UCLA,... Read More

113-0 defeat of Baylor Saturday, while the Bears are still stuck in the
league cellar.
The Longhorns would do very little wrong all day, especially in the early
goings, as they raced out to a 75-0 halftime lead. Securing a lead is
always a coach’s goal, but UT’s Butch Neuenschwander had a secondary goal
in... Read More
