Just a note there's one former USports player projected to go in the NFL draft (April 25-27) - Isaiah Adams, who spent time at Laurier before transferring down to Illinois. The Athletic has him projected as a fourth round pick.

It may interest some of you to know that the Carleton AD, Jennifer Brenning and the uOttawa AD Sue Hylland are both retiring at the end of June. So we are likely to have two new people at the helm of this great sports rivalry before to long. Quite a change.

Anyone have any idea what the holdup is with getting this announced? Last year it was released in January.

I don't expect to get anything from this, but I just wanted to throw it out there to see what I can get.

I am a videographer for the York University football team, and select members of the team staff have been desperately trying to find a copy of the "Krown Countdown U CIS Football Red Book" from 2014. The book is a collection of all stats, records and standings in Canadian university football from 1965 to 2014, and after the historically bad season York had in 2023, we desperately want to know just how bad we were 🤣 and I also really want to find a copy just for my own personal research.

Obviously, the book is out of print, but we can't even find a library that seems to have a copy. So I'm just shooting it out there to ask if anyone knows somebody who has a copy of the book, even for us to just borrow for a bit.

We would be heavily thankful if you know anything or anyone who owns the book. Please leave a comment if you do.

The McGill Redbirds FB program is having a GoFundMe drive.

If they've done this before I missed it.

I admit to be surprised.

McGill certainly can't be put in the "have not" category as far as $$$ is concerned in Canadian Universities. And the knew cap on NEW foreign students and the $$$ they bring has certainly not had an impact yet .

Of course, the FB is certainly not covering it's cost with gate revenues, even if they have been treading up a bit lately but it seems like weird thing to happen to a program with such a huge , diverse and well-off Alumni.

According to the guys at At the 55 podcast (excellent podcast on OUA football, I highly recommend) the new Head coach at York will be Dexter Janke

When was the last time a QB won MVP with 171 yards passing? His running game was dangerous but, against an average defence, his passing was just good enough.

The Carabins defence deserves more love.

Big defensive showdown today for Montréal yet again.

In general, do you consider doing this a smart play or cheating?

Anybody ????

No reason given but it definitely doesn't say "he's decided to step down" or similar, making it feel unlikely this was by his choice. After 2022 when they made the playoffs, it looked like maybe they were turning it around a bit, but a 1-6 year this year (I don't count the free square vs York) with some decisive beatings must have made it pretty clear they weren't.

​

​

https://yorkulions.ca/news/2023/11/20/football-york-university-head-football-coach-position-opening-soon.aspx

That will be an interesting position to try to fill. Wonder if last year's co-associate-coaches will be in consideration or if this means they want someone external.

Here are the highlights from Montreal vs UBC in PSF 2024:
