Had Mount A beat Acadia in the last week of the regular season, Mount A would have hosted the AUS semi. Had both Mount A and SMU won that week, Bishop's would have been out entirely.John Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03167982369392920262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220121611828242531.post-21362385437955980862018-10-21T09:55:59.720-04:002018-10-21T09:55:59.720-04:00The Longyear Scholarship award was "won"...The Longyear Scholarship award was "won" by yours truly in 1991. Given to the boob most likely not to be attending higher education but with marks that said he should, I like to think of it as a participation ribbon...as in, "thanks for coming out."<br /><br />Awards that don't really matter, seemingly, don't really matter. Except for those who win them. I'm not sure how York or the Blues feel about the Boatman Cup, but I was absolutely over the moon when I found out that my name was called for the award at convocation. <br /><br />Of course, the asses at Widdifield Secondary could have told me I was going to win. Maybe then I actually would have attended. Still, when a classmate told me I had won the morning after, slinging bags of cement into old Marco-the stone mason's truck was never so easy. Those bags of terrazzo stone felt like a feather. <br /><br />Never did cash that cheque, after it arrived in the mail. But it mattered, man. It was an accomplishment, even if school wasn't in my plans at the moment. <br /><br />When I finally decided to head of to school, a decade-plus later, I thought about that cheque. Long since lost, I wondered if the engineering firm would honour it. <br /><br />Man, the memory of the morning when Alex told me about my win still brings out a smile.<br /><br />My Mum still brings up the lack of invite to graduation in our family's list of greviences, usually aired at Christmas, in true Costanza fashion.Superfun Happy Slidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04941978459079005249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220121611828242531.post-12425203390098809042018-10-21T01:30:52.158-04:002018-10-21T01:30:52.158-04:00The Western Loney Bowl.

That style and flair brings back great memories from the 2009 season. It's no exaggeration to say that you are the king when it comes to free content Canadian university football writing. The folks writing drivel for a paycheque can only wish they did the job as well. <br /><br />Great comment on the both-siding that's a too often resort when it comes to OUA football media. Calling a spade a spade isn't cruel when any other spin makes us all dumber for the effort. <br /><br />But what can we do. <br /><br />Most folks writing about this sport are here and gone in four years. Most want a paying gig, and upsetting the status quo isn't usually the best way to go about that. <br /><br />You are the best, brother. <br /><br />You are the best.Superfun Happy Slidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04941978459079005249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220121611828242531.post-83365106151594873082018-09-23T12:55:32.911-04:002018-09-23T12:55:32.911-04:00“maybe great coaching created that cushion until a...“maybe great coaching created that cushion until attrition and athleticism ultimately decided who won the day”<br /><br />Great writing AND smart analyses.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04683850385037792659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220121611828242531.post-50504531552077946442018-09-15T14:26:21.589-04:002018-09-15T14:26:21.589-04:00No one comments?!
