Editor's Note: Here's the first installment of Michael T. Licata's blog hosted by The BV Online. He will blog about anything and everything in the world of Bonaventure and professional sports over the next semester.
Ok, here’s what’s garnered my attention in sports at St. Bonaventure. It’s good to see rugby getting so much attention with the tremendous amount of success the team has enjoyed this season. From a few conversations with players, they are greatly committed to winning and I hear them practicing when walking behind the RC every afternoon.
I applaud the students and alumni who are following the team to West Point, NY for the showdown against Middlebury College this Saturday. It should be a tough contest as Middlebury was the number one team in the nation last year.
Applause to BV writer Brian Bayer for his detailed explanation on how the team could go to Stanford, California in the Spring 2008 semester and play in the USA Rugby collegiate men’s national tournament.
I’m sure the boys will represent SBU very well and hopefully they can bring a home an accomplishment that has been missing from the sports scene on campus for several years.
Other Stuff: My editors stated that I could write anything about sports. So, here goes the passion of a Buffalo sports fan. Andrej Sekera hasn’t played enough in Rochester to make a quality impact with the Sabres. Derek Roy still hasn’t done enough to earn $4 million a year but it’s easy to be overshadowed when you play on a line with a 10 million dollar a year player in Thomas Vanek. Ryan Miller is not overrated. His statistics have never been outstanding, but the fact is that he wins hockey games. Clark MacArthur should stay with the Sabres for awhile because of Tim Connelly’s injury and his play dictates more playing time.
The Bills defense needs to develop a pass rush if they have a chance to upset the Patriots. I know, I’m looking ahead and shouldn’t look past the Dolphins.
