Hungering For Success
Here’s an article by the Citizen’s Wayne Kondro in regards to the Gee-Gees’ approach this year. They begin 2007 ranked #3 in preseason polls. Great preview. Their last loss still torments University of Ottawa Gee-Gees football players. Over the past nine months, they’ve dissected the tape again and again, mystified at how they managed to [...]
CRF Expansion!
The CFL may not be in a hurry to expand, but that doesn’t mean I can’t. The more time I allocate to seeking information about football locally, the more interested I become in the subject. Of late, I’d given consideration to trying to provide coverage of local high school football. However, an online buddy posted [...]

Sooners vs Jr Riders preview from the Ottawa Sun
The Sun‘s Rob Brodie previews today’s Sooners vs Jr Riders game at the Nepean Sportsplex, 6PM. For the Ottawa Sooners, it’s about unfinished business. The Ottawa Jr. Riders hope it’s a case of business as usual. When the Quebec Junior Football League rivals meet tonight at Minto Field (6 p.m.), each hopes it’s the first [...]
Panthers Article from EastOttawa.ca
Good article from Jamie Harkins about the Cumberland Panthers. This is the sort of coverage I would love to see local teams get more often, especially in this case as the Junior (QJFL) version is preparing to begin play soon.

Catching Up With Orville Lee
Came across this article earlier today. It’s from someone named Mike Beamish and was in the Regina Leader-Post. VANCOUVER — In the span of 50 years, infants have become grandfathers, beauty queens have turned to wrinkle cream and football players have morphed into lieutenant-governors. Yes, it’s been that long since Edmonton Eskimos fullback Normie Kwong, [...]
ODD: For The Love of the Game.
The Ottawa Sun’s Don Brennan gives the Deacon Demons some exposure. The timing is somewhat unfortunate in that they don’t play at home again until August 18th following last night’s 10-10 tie against Lake City. Seven years ago, Rev. Rob McGee was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and given 12 months to live. So now, [...]
More Details on the Gee-Gees’ Seasons Ticket Program.
Earlier, when I posted a portion of a release about the University of Ottawa’s 2007 seasons tickets, I overlooked the fact that it did not include details as to how one is supposed to obtain these tickets. So allow me to hand off to Head Coach Denis Piché (and lifted from a post on 13thman.com)… [...]
