2013 CFL Offseason Thread

Good move for Hamilton. Austin is a good football mind, great for the CFL to have him back in the league

[moon]

Has a guy ever built such a rep off of one decent season than Kent Austin?

Sure it was big that he got the Priders the Grey Cup but it wasn't like he ran roughshod over the league or built some sort of powerhouse team.

Not surprising here... They would be foolish if they didn't sign him. The question is for how much?

So long Ivor Wynne Stadium...

Kyle Quinlan has signed a two year deal with the Alouettes.

I think he can QB in the CFL and there is no better situation to learn in than in Montreal from Trestman and Calvillo

No Canadian QB has started in 16 years, wonder if Quinlan is the guy to break that streak? He tore up the CIS in the last 2 years

If it wasn't for the heavy equipment giving it away, you may be hard pressed to say that's not just any other day at Ivor Wynne.

And this is official.

Good hire by the Bombers

For all you CFL experts:

What would happen if the exact same play happened in the CFL? Still a 1 point safety? 2 points? 0 points?

Never seen a play like that so can't comment.

I do know if K-State had run it back for a TD it would have been 2 points for them which I don't think happens in the NFL or College.

My guess is it would have been 0 points.
