Home Field Disadvantage
You know what's rewarding about finishing first overall in the OUA's regular football season? The first round bye. The easiest route to the Yates Cup. And the right to host the championship game if you run the post-season table. Unless, of course, you're the Ottawa Gee-Gees. Then it becomes a... Continue reading

Rapanaro Not A Better Safety, But Is A Better Man
If linebacker Giancarlo Rapanaro fails to make it in the CFL, he has every right to equally blame new Governor General David Johnston, alleged petty thief and steroid trafficker Nathan Zettler and the overreaching, overreacting CIS, too. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the spring returned free agent Rapanaro to the... Continue reading

Badgers May Be Better Than You Think
No Clinton Springer-Williams. No Didi Mukendi. No Andrew Ferguson. No problems. Without the 2009-2010 Rookie of the Year, without their best scorer, and without their starting centre, respectively, the Brock Badgers got rookie head coach Brad Rootes his first win in upset fashion Friday when they knocked off the ninth-ranked...

Props When They're Due
With limited time and resources it's always difficult to decide what gets links, what gets thoughts, who gets scolded and who gets praise. It's why the blog is fairly limited to OUA football and men's basketball and hockey. However, there was big good news out of Kingston on Friday, where... Continue reading

You betcha! Today marks the long awaited (or maybe not?) return of the BMoC's OUA Men's Basketball Pre-Season All-Stars, last selected in 2008.

U Gonna Be Mad, UNB Second
Know how I know you know nothing about hockey? Because you voted McGill second in this week's CIS Top 10. Only Mike Babcock agrees with the voters. But he's biased. Seriously. The McGill Redmen, of the non-competitive, non-factor East Division of the OUA as the second best team in the... Continue reading

Montoya Playing Blame Game, Not Football
It's almost hard to believe former Laurier Golden Hawks defensive lineman Dave Montoya is 27 years old. Because he certainly doesn't act his age. According to Montoya, a full-time high school teacher, it's everyone's fault but his own that he's no longer playing for the Golden Hawks this OUA football... Continue reading

D.J. Bennett Spoils The Ballot
Will someone, anyone, please prohibit The Score's sideline reporter D.J. Bennett from casting ballots in the weekly CIS Top 10 poll?
