Brock men's rugby completed a dream season on Saturday, defeating division-rival Queen's in the OUA championship game by a final score line of 22-6. The hard-fought victory gave the Badgers rugby team their first ever provincial title, as they beat the Golden Gaels for the second time this season.
When you are the top team in the league, ranked fifth in the nation and showcase the country's top goal scorer, it is only natural to have every other team in the OUA gunning for you.

Brock University got its first look at its 2007-08 fencing team as the Badgers hosted the Brock Invitational Tournament at the Ian Beddis Gymnasium on Nov. 10 and 11.

Who will stop the New England Patriots? While it's hard to believe that anybody can defeat the team that could very well be the greatest in the history of American football, even the best properties in sports have had their struggles. Muhammad Ali, recognized by many as the greatest boxer of all-time, lost twice in his absolute prime.
Brock News: The Badger men's basketball team dropped their Ontario University Athletics (OUA) season opener 72-66 when they travelled to Queen's on Friday.

We're now in the third year of a "hard salary cap" in the NHL, and I'm left wondering if it was actually worth having, or if it's just a good way to pretend that teams are on an equal playing field.
