There's a lot of new exciting stuff happening with the OSURFC from a marketing and social media standpoint...you can follow us on Facebook and Twitter at:

Please help us out but clicking on these sites...we are in the process of meeting with the big whigs at Nationwide and some other companies about corporate sponsorship and we need to show them that we have a significant social media following!

First and only time I break the no Facebook rule. Ding me at your own risk (yes, that's preemptive ding whining).

Can't disagree...that's the problem with playing as much youth as we are:

Ohio State (0-2) at Kutztown (0-2) ? After two thrilling losses, Kutztown should get off the snide against Ohio State. The Buckeyes have proved a difficult opponent early in games but lose form as the game wears on. Can they put together a complete game on the road? The Golden Bears will be out for a quick knockout in this one.

Buckeyes travel to Kutztown this weekend...next weekend is Rugby Week in Columbus culminating in OSU vs. PSU on Saturday:

Columbus Gears Up For Rugby Week | The Columbus Sports Scene Blog

Posted on April 1, 2011 by GCSC

USA Rugby, Rugby Ohio and The Ohio State University Rugby team are teaming up for "Rugby Week" in Columbus Ohio, April 4th-9th, 2011.

After the announcement that both Men's and Women's Rugby had recently been added to the 2016 Olympic games in Rio, USA Rugby came up with an initiative called "Rookie Rugby" to help the next generation of Olympic Rugby Athletes understand the sport of rugby at an earlier age. Rookie Rugby is a non-contact version of the sport and is being pushed in schools across America.

USA Rugby, Rugby Ohio and the Ohio State Rugby team are joining forces to present "Rugby Week" across central Ohio from April 4-9.

Rugby has been added to the 2016 Olympic games in Rio, and in order to help the next generation rugby athletes, USA Rugby has introduced an initiative called "Rookie Rugby."

Developed by USA Rugby, the curriculum's goal is to educate as many students and teachers on the sport of rugby. "Rookie Rugby" will be taught in schools across central Ohio during "Rugby Week." Also, USA Rugby is donating more than 150 balls to Rugby Ohio.

Dropped a tough one to Kutztown this past weekend. They are a solid team but it was a 25-19 game at half. Bit by the same bug again...a 15-20 minute period where things just fall apart. We have a good chance to bounce back this weekend against PSU.

Tough day against K-town, but they're usually a solid program. Best of luck against State Penn, Bucks.

Dude, what is with BYU? The scores I get emailed from CPD are absurd. Strong high school rugby has started (I know they've been good for awhile) to REALLY pay off. That should be the same in Ohio in a few more years and Georgia in several decades.

Thanks for letting me know about this. Enjoying it a lot even though I don't understand the rules.

It looks so exhausting!!! Let's Go Buckeyes! Down 22-17.

Just couldn't sustain an attack in the second half...you can watch the replay on Ustream or once we get it uploaded to our site I will send out the link. Tough loss...
