That’s probably more a reference to what I said on the main site about having to rely on a message board for my information.

The (Stallions) Facebook page shows that a lady named Sylvie Laberge posted the score 23 hours ago. So about 24 hours after the game was played. I have no idea whether she is a reliable source because she is nowhere to be found on this site:

http://www.stallionsfootball.ca

(but for what it’s worth, the Stallions site used to be terrific)

The Jr Riders site is dead except for its own message board on which most of the posters are anonymous. Cumberland still doesn’t have its week one score posted.

I searched for a St Lazare Twitter page and came up empty both then and now.

At the end of the day, it really shouldn’t be complicated to just get a score. The OFC, NFC and NCAFA pull it off just fine.

The QJFL always gives the impression that unless you’re directly involved, you’re just a bother. Which makes me wonder why I do bother with them.

No one expects them to have an NFL-like marketing budget. But cripes, when people try to demonstrate an interest, the logical response is to cultivate it.

It’s frustrating because you see the potential for them to be doing so much better than they are but they seem unable to see what’s dangling right in front of their faces.

I understand your frustrations about the lack of information when it comes to the QJFL. However, it is not entirely true that there are no good websites, Twitter or Facebook sites.
For information regarding the Stallions you can certainly go to my website, the Stallions Junior team, Facebook site or the Stallions page on Twitter.

Is that a fact? ’cause I suggested something like this last year and was essentially told it was an unrealistic, ridiculous idea.

The Sun at least tries to cover local sports. They actually do a reasonable job.
The Citizen is the worst paper in the Country for covering local sports. They have 6 hockey writers and take everything else off the wires.
I was so glad to see Ken Evraire at the old A Channel because he was interested in local sports, (particularly football) but I see that even CJOH has stifled his journeys onto the local football fields.

I think people should start asking what is causing so many forfeit games in NCAFA this season only 2 games into it. I love NCAFA and the football it provides, and if there is a problem I hope it gets fixed quickly.

Thanks for the kind words, Returned to the Ottawa area 2 years ago after being away for 12 years. On my return I could not help but get back into coaching and I am looking forward to 2012 and the return of the Ravens.

Comment on Sooners 27, Brampton 24 by perry

This game in many ways resembled the St. Leonard game.
Once again, a dreadful second quarter.
The Sooner defence, which stymied Brampton in the
first quarter, were caught flat footed on several big plays.
I have to question McEvoy’s decision to gamble on 3rd down
rather than kick a field goal late in half.
That turnover on a QB sack fired up Brampton and
they went on to score their 3rd TD of the quarter
with just 2 seconds left.
To Ottawa’s credit, the defence tightened up in the
second half, only allowing one more point in regulation.
The decision not to go for the FG on their first OT
possession once the ball was in the “red zone” also baffled me.
If you have a chance to end, DO SO!
It worked out for the best in the end, but this
team does have an annoying penchant for making
lthe game tougher than it need be.

It appears Cumberland was right at home at the
Rogers Centre, judging by the 41-21 pounding they gave Etobicoke.
Looking at it from the players’ perspective, they were
probably thrilled with the opportunity to play at
a venue like that, even though it meant hitting the road.
The payoff for local fans of course, is that at long last,
we get to host the OVFL finals.
And the strong possibility of two home town teams
winning a championship title makes it a great day for Ottawa football.
