For evidence that Colorado is the epicenter of American women’s rugby, rewind to last weekend. Trailing on the final play in extra time of the national championship, the Colorado Gray Wolves banded together for a driving maul to win on a dramatic walk-off try for the club’s record fifth title. The score lifted the Gray Wolves to a 31-27 victory over the Berkeley All Blues to capture the Legacy Cup in North Carolina, where the sport bridged the gap between the long-running Women’s Premier League (an amateur, pay-to-pay circuit) and forthcoming Women’s Elite Rugby, the first professional women’s rugby league in the U.S., debuting in 2025.

Why is the Nuggets’ defense so horrific so far this season? Anything in particular stand out? I’ve only occasionally watched on national broadcasts as I refuse to pay for the cheap Kroenkes’ streaming service, but have noticed a ton of points being given up. — CS, Denver I don’t know about “horrific.” Points in a vacuum don’t always tell the whole story.

Keeler: What has Deion Sanders meant to CU Buffs? Ask this fan who’s returning to Folsom Field for first time in 20 years
Denver Post, Wednesday - 11/13/2024 - 07:45 AM
BOULDER — Whoever said never meet your heroes never met Riley Rhoades. Lordy, they missed out. “Been there for a long time,” the 72-year-old CU Buffs fan told me Tuesday, “and I’ve seen everything.” One national championship. Two 1-10s. A Heisman Trophy winner. Heartache. But Riley hasn’t seen anything like Deion Sanders. Ever. “People (outside Colorado) don’t have a clue what he’s doing here,” Rhoades chuckled.
