In case you hadn’t heard by now, a big, news-worthy rout happened recently–Brown football took down Yale, 20-0. Alright, I hear you all out there: “We play more football games after Homecoming? We play football games at all? We have Homecoming? We have sports? We go to ‘Brown’?” Yes on all accounts, and as it happens, we were lucky to schedule Yale, because they suck. (Actually, we weren’t really “lucky” to schedule them, since we play every Ivy League school by rule. But you get the point.)

It turns out that Yale’s tried-and-true offensive gameplan is “run backwards and get sacked or tackled for a loss three times in a row, then let our superhuman punter kick the ball 7 million yards.” Like seriously, holy shit, Yale’s punter is amazing! His gifts are probably in part due to the fact that he has to do his job every two seconds because Yale’s offense is depressingly horrendous, but damn. He’s got “All-Ivy” written all over him, and you know that nothing builds a resume quite like being named All-Ivy punter. He’s going places.

Anyway, our football team looked pretty good. Also they looked big, pretty damn big; i.e., I’m not about to say anything negative about them. But that’s not necessary anyway, since they actually played quite well, absolutely shutting down Yale’s crummy offense and moving the ball slowly but surely during two long touchdown drives (in addition to booting a pretty impressive 46-yard field goal). So huzzah for Da Bears–come check out their last home game (Senior Day) on Nov. 17 against Columbia. It’ll be a good time.

The Bears’ NCAA Tournament run unfortunately came to an end after a 3-2 overtime loss to St. Mary’s College last night.

Brown Men’s Soccer defeated St. John’s tonight 1-0 to move on to the third round of the NCAA tournament next week. Check out some pictures from Brown’s thrilling 3-2 victory over Fairfield after the jump. [Read more →]

The men’s soccer team earned an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament today, prolonging their season for at least one more game.

Bruno will face off against Fairfield Univeristy (12-4-1) Thursday, with the winner advancing to take on St. John’s University.

The Bears were crowned Ivy League co-champions alongside Dartmouth Saturday after battling the Big Green to a 0-0 draw. Bruno recorded an overall record of 10-4-3, finishing 4-1-2 in Ivy League play and going undefeated in its final eight games. But since Dartmouth defeated third-place Columbia and Brown lost to the Lions, the Big Green captured the automatic berth into the NCAA tournament.

Bruno earned an at-large bid into the tournament last season, and went on to defeat No. 25 Boston College and No. 9 University of Connecticut before losing in the Sweet 16 to No. 6 University of California at Berkeley.

Brown vs. Dartmouth. It’s Senior Night. The winner of this game wins the Ivy League title. The winner of this game gets an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. What more do you need? Follow the live blog of the biggest men’s soccer game of the season right here.

Saturday afternoon blues? Not in the mood for homework? Men’s soccer is playing in the Ivy League championships against Dartmouth today at Stevenson Field.  Game starts at 4, liquid school spirit starts even before that in the parking lot.  Go! Pack the stands! Pack a scarf!

Co-captain quarterback Kyle Newhall-Caballero '11.5 and the rest of the football squad will look to end Penn's 18-game Ivy win streak Saturday.

Some of you may have noticed there was no cheering going on last week on this blog. Some of you may even have missed this informative post. We’re sorry. We sincerely hope it won’t happen again.

Saturday is officially Take On Penn Day at Brown. For those of you who think sports are violent and send the wrong message, please tell this to Penn. They’re Quakers. Isn’t it a bit hypocritical of them to be undefeated so long in a sport where the objective is for hulky men to tackle each other repeatedly? Why don’t they just forfeit? Oh, yeah — because that wouldn’t be any fun! Here’s what you have to cheer for tomorrow:  [Read more →]
