Michigan women's rugby 2-0 in league play
Michigan women's rugby team is currently 2-0 in the midwest d1 conference, with wins over grand valley and indiana. they play michigan state this saturday, oct 17, at north field (on plymouth road just northeast of north campus... to the north -- directions on the Michigan women's rugby team website). last year they finished #2 in midwest d2, so this is a big season for the ladies.
my cousin is on the team, and since i won't be in the a2 area at all for the rest of the season, i told her i'd post a thread on here to drum up some support.
so go see a game!

Women's rugby? Really? Sounds hot... and violent. I wasn't aware of such a thing. Taking a shoulder in the boobs must hurt.

I once met a women's rugby player at MIT. It ended up well for me.

When abouts was this? I'm an alum and knew some of the players (offhandedly) when I was in college circa the turn of the millenium.

Two years ago. I had the "I'm not from MIT" advantage. She was in a frat house talking about how all the guys are too nice in that house and that sometimes she just wants one of them to take advantage of her. I immediately raise my hand and announce, "I'm not part of their house." Best pickup line ever.

THAT, sir, is funny!
We have a handful of "real" frats on campus that could hack it in the Greek system at real party schools. Most of the rest are fairly mild-mannered - quite frankly, most everyone is too busy at MIT to really get into trouble.
Well-kept secrets: MIT in the 90's was a hell of a party school (ranked by Esquire, gotta unwind) and today is a hell of a jock school for D-III.
Bostonian are you, or just there for a visit?

Just visiting. I worked for the fraternity I was at, and I can got to know many of those early 90 alumni who helped give it that reputation. Definitely a well-kept secret.

I know a few players from the women GVSU team. Women's rugby (or rugby in general) is awesome. It's a ton of fun for sure.

would be my 2nd favorite sport.
I'd like to see Michigan make Men's and Women's Rugby Varsity level sports, now that we have a dimensionally correct stadium (ie the new Soccer stadium on State St).
