2015 CIS Football Thread
Didn't see one so I thought I'd start it...
Blake Nill returns to Calgary tonight as the coach of the UBC Thunderbirds. In an exhibition game, UBC stomped Laval 41-16 (!). UBC is led by quarterback Michael O'Connor, an Ottawa native who played high school football in Florida and redshirted at Penn State last year before transferring to UBC.
The Dinos are led by reigning Hec Crighton winner, Andrew Buckley. The returning QB was a late round draft pick by the Stamps and did not look out of place during training camp this summer. Quite possible these are the two top teams in Canada West, and the two top QB's in the country going at it tonight.
Unfortunately, weather forecast doesn't look great (which is probably why we won't go -- domed stadium anyone?!?) but I believe it is being streamed online as well...
