Vacation!
I’m leaving town in a couple of hours and will not return until late next Saturday. It’s unlikely that there will be any updates between now and then (including, of course, approving comments). In the meantime, I have been asked to mention that the Gee-Gees are looking for an announcer for their home games. Anyone [...]

Whither Davie Mason?
Earlier in the week, I posted a few links on the main page to various blogs on which the Gee-Gees’ season is previewed. Below is portion of a Sun article (added to their site just a couple of hours ago) and wouldn’t you know it, it focuses on the change at quarterback from Josh Sacobie [...]
“Sooners blow back into the OFC”
Chris Stevenson takes over from Don Brennan to cover the Sooners game for the Ottawa Sun. This article was posted only about a half hour ago. I could be wrong, but I could swear that there were four interceptions in the game by the Sooners, but Stevenson states that there were three. Either way, you [...]
“Ottawa Sooners ready for OFC challenge”
Thanks again to Don Brennan for this fine preview of the Sooners game tonight. In particular, I appreciate the mention of players jumping to the Sooners from the Jr Riders (no Panthers?). I have heard both theories; that moving to the OFC would cause players to flock to the Sooners for the possibility of winning [...]
“Ottawa Jr. Riders take aim at 4th straight title”
Much thanks to the Ottawa Sun today for setting aside Danny Heatley just long enough to include previews for both season-starting junior games later today. Here is Don Brennan’s take on the Jr Riders/Panthers match-up at Millenium Field tonight. Some surprises: -Tyler Meilleur at QB for the Jr Riders. Meilleur was on the roster last [...]
Scheduling changes for the coming weekend

The NCAFA midget level gets things underway this coming Friday. They made, for reasons unknown, a schedule change which is [...]

CRF on Facebook…Maybe.
I recently posted about creating a Twitter account based around Capital Region Football for the purpose of having another method by which to obtain information about what’s going in the area. Along those same lines, ever since I started a personal account on Facebook a couple of years ago or so, I’ve been contemplating ways [...]

“Sacobie…imparts life lessons”
Former Gee-Gees quarterback Josh Sacobie continues to gather positive press for his work with youth. The following is an article from the Daily Gleaner and describes Sacobie’s recent work with Football Canada. There have been so many such stories involving this guy that I’m considering giving him his own category. To Josh Sacobie, success is [...]
Summer (?) training camp info
Got a few days off in the coming weeks and not sure how to spend them while your buds are all working? Go spend a little time at a local training camp! Beats the hell out of cleaning the house! And who knows, there’s a chance it might not rain! A slight chance, mind you, [...]
U. of O linebacker at the Olympics?
In addition to being a football fan, I enjoy the Olympics a great deal, to the point that I am considering taking time off to watch the games next year. This CTV Article was a pleasant surprise for me as it appears as though there’s a chance my two interests will be combined, after a fashion. An Ottawa Gee-Gees [...]
