When will CW release its official schedule?

[bigfan]

There are currently several "versions" of the CanWest sched available - depending upon who you talk to.
So, in keeping with the CIS ability not to promote itself without help from its fans, here's a poll to make things a bit interesting.
Also, put down your prediction in the thread (be as specific as you want)...It won't be worth anything, but maybe the winner 'might' get a new av out of the deal. :D

[cjstora]

The last three years, I have tried to piece together "official" versions of the CW schedule, using the "unofficial" schedules posted on the teams' web sites at various times, to no avail. Something never adds up somewhere along the line. Add to that confusion that each team seems to use different methods of posting the game times - some use the time of the home team's time zone, some keep it all in the time zone of the team that posts the schedule... I have asked through official channels with Can West for a schedule as soon as it's available, and I've always been told "late June". I've never received one even close to "late June". Even when the schedule is posted on the CW web site, you don't know for certain, because teams often take a LONG time to correct their own schedule, so when you have the CW saying the game is Saturday at 3, and you have to assume it's the time zone of the home team, the visiting team's site saying the game is Saturday at 2, and you're not sure what time zone it's in, and the home team's site saying the game is Friday at 7... well, sometimes it's just a "best guess" scenario.

Now see what you've done? You've gone and made me rant.

[Shootmaster_44]

Frankly, other than the Huskies schedule, I'm not overly concerned as to the time zones on the schedule. I generally will just listen to non-Huskies games whenever the whim strikes me. However, I certainly hope that the unofficial schedule that was posted either on the old board or on Duane's board is the correct one. I'd hate to see the Huskies/SFU game switched to SFU. I want to see a blowout at Griffiths.

It won't be switched. SFU and Calgary haven't been here since 2004, so I'm sure the schedule is right (as far as who is playing who - when they're playing is still up in the air until gametime).

[marton]

You just might. Unless the Huskies decide to offer some resistance, that is. Then it would simply be considered a humbling defeat.

Go Clan!

haha be nicer to see the Dawgs blow out Laval. But I'll take a blowout of SFU any day.

Sorry to do that to you CJ....and hey, if someone has an "unofficial schedule, regardless of the team...post it now...and what took you so long....:rolleyes:

[Shootmaster_44]

Ok when it was posted on the old board (or Duane's board, I forget which) I wrote the Huskies schedule down. Here's what I got:

Friday August 31 vs. Alberta
Friday September 7 @ Calgary
Saturday September 15 vs. Simon Fraser
Saturday September 22 @ Manitoba
Saturday September 29 @ UBC
Saturday October 13 vs. Calgary
Saturday October 20 @ Alberta
Saturday October 27 vs. Regina

Playoffs
Saturday November 3 Canada West Semi
Saturday November 10 Canada West Final
Saturday November 17 Mitchell Bowl vs. OUA Champ
Friday November 23 Vanier Cup @ Rogers Centre

So it would appear that the season opener will be under the lights. Which probably makes the most sense of any for a Friday night game, since its the end of August so it will still be warm out. The game in Calgary could be moved (and probably should be) since the Stampeders are in Edmonton that night. None of the other games conflict with a major CFL game, as the rest are Saturday afternoon games. The only one that sees a CFL team play the same day, is September 29, Huskies are at UBC in the afternoon and Edmonton is at BC at 10 PM (PDT). I doubt they'd move that game to accommodate the CFL game as they don't go head-to-head.

Why would they move the Calgary game if the Stampeders are in Edmonton? I really don't think it matters that much - most of the people who go to a Stampeders game would never go to watch a CIS game anyway (unless Calgary has drastically changed in the five years since I lived there - judging by the attendance at the last three Dinos home games in 2006, it hasn't).

I could be wrong, but other than Regina, I don't think the CFL and CIS share a lot of fans. At Huskie games when the Riders are playing in Regina, the attendance is pretty much the same as any other game.

Shootmaster, I think you belong to only a handful of people in Saskatoon that regularly attend both CFL and CIS games (judging from your posts, you seem to be a big Rider fan). From what I gather, most Huskie fans are like me - we really don't care too much for the Riders, although we'll watch a CFL game if it's on.

[BLING]

Does the oua winner, or the q winner come to can west? The Bison schedule say's the Q comes west, while the one you guy's posted says oua comes here?

[dog]

OUA travels to CanWest this year, for sure.

I didn't realize the demographics of the fan base I guess. I assumed that since its about a 2 hour drive (give or take) to Edmonton from Calgary, the Labour Day rematch would see a lot of fans make the drive. I figured that may impact the Dinos' attendance and could see Canada West move the game to a Saturday afternoon, in hopes of attracting a bigger crowd.

I am a huge Rider fan. If I could afford season tickets I would do so. More than that I'm a huge football fan. I hope at some point to see the various indoor leagues. Nothing like minor pro football to see some interesting things.

But that's interesting that people support the team at the CIS level, but don't support the grads at the CFL level.

[Shootmaster_44]

Which is slightly too bad. I'd love to see at least the potential of a Laval-Saskatchewan rematch at Griffths this year. Though we all know Montreal will come out of the Q ;)

I thought you westerners promised to stay away from the glue can.....the beenies will be 4th place in the Q this year. Right behind Sherby.

Well some of us seem to love the bottom feeders. If Marton believes SFU can beat my Dawgs then its ok for me to believe Montreal will beat Laval. However, I'm more likely right than he is lol.

[marton]

SFU is much better than Montreal but I get your point. I think. ;)

I used to be a big Rider fan too, but they really turned me off of the pro game. The fact that they do little for fans in Saskatoon is a big factor - the least they could do is hold training camp here. I also prefer to watch guys play for the love of the game and for a dream of winning the big game or maybe moving on to the pros. IMO, the CFL is too full of players who are in it only for the money (I know most don't get paid much, but there are a few players like Henry Burris or Omar Morgan out there where an extra $5,000 or $10,000 a year trumps loyalty) or to get noticed by the NFL.

The attendance numbers with the Dinos aren't overwhelming, but they're steady, suggesting that there is a core of Dino fans and family and friends who make it to the games. I could be wrong, but I think these people are like the majority of Huskie fans, in that they would go to watch the Dinos over the Stampeders game anyway, although there may be a few fans who would choose to go to the CFL game. Either way, I don't think the Stampeders playing in Edmonton will have a big effect on the Dinos attendance - if the Dinos were pulling in 10,000 fans a game, they may have a case for moving the game.

I'm not saying you're wrong - those are just my thoughts. I wish more people would be fans of both levels too. Especially in cities with CFL teams, the universities are overlooked and the CIS teams suffer at the gate - the notable exceptions being Regina and Hamilton (although neither the U of R or McMaster come close to what the Riders and Ti-Cats pull in). Maybe the cross-marketing and partnership between the CIS and CFL for the Vanier and Grey Cup games will inspire more cooperation between the leagues.

Plus on a purely aesthetic level I think Montreal has nice looking uniforms.

I totally know what you mean about them essentially being the Regina Roughriders. Though this year they are holding the Green and White game at Griffths, so maybe change will slowly happen. I mean having Gainer here for the UBC playoff game and the Vanier Cup is definitely a little overture by the Riders.

Doesn't U of A pull in the same sized crowds that the U of R does? Either way I think the best ideas would be to have CIS games in a sort of doubleheader with the CFL games. Labour Day weekend U of A should play Calgary the day before the Esks-Stamps and U of R should play Manitoba the day after Riders-Bombers. Out East it would be a little harder to trade on these, but Mac should play York or U of T at Rogers Centre as a curtain raiser of the Ti-Cats/Argos game.

Actually, why aren't CIS games played as curtain raisers of CFL games? I know in Euro Soccer and Aussie Football, the minor clubs (or the women's clubs) play before the main game and a day is made out of being at the stadium. I honestly think if you have 25,000 people coming to a CFL game but as an added bonus you threw in a CIS game before the main match, you'd probably have 5,000 of that 25,000 show up. Plus if the school normally draws 2,000 per game those 2,000 would buy tickets for the CIS game. Essentially, its a win-win for both parties.

I've always been a firm believer in a quote Vince McMahon (owner of the WWE) once said, it goes something like "if only 700 people show up for an event and you lose your shirt, its still a successful day. If of those 700 people, 10 have never seen the product before and become life long fans, they will keep attending events, buying shirts and pay per views etc. then you make money off those new fans." I think the CIS needs to buy into this idea, especially in Toronto where the Argos draw decent but York and U of T draw poorly, as well as Vancouver where the Lions draw well but SFU and UBC do not.

[Snake Wilson]

Well, the Riders are sending Tillman and Austin up to speak at the Dogs' Breakfast in a couple weeks, so maybe they'll reach out to Saskatoon a little more. Anything would be better than what happened during the Shivers/Barrett era.

I agree with this 100%. Making an event of it, especially a day-long event of it, in cities where both a CFL team and a CIS team exist only serves to benefit both parties.

However. (you knew that was coming, didn't you?) Then you run into such things as: McGill's stadium is used by the Alouettes for their games. I'm certain Concordia would want a piece of that action, as would U de Montreal. So either the Alouettes move around from stadium to stadium, not likely to happen, or the univeristies use McGill's stadium. Equally as likely to happen.

Then you get into teams like any CIS team east of Montreal, who don't have a CFL team to partner with. What do they do?

The benefits of partnering with the CFL, not only for a joint weekend in 2007, are obvious. If there can be a means developed in which the CIS teams in cities without CFL representation can benefit - or rather, aren't unfairly disadvantaged - then you will get a buy-in from all teams in the CIS.

I say, partner as many games as you can in one year. See how well the idea floats first, then over the next 2-3 years, maintain that working relationship and work towards some sort of shared concept to spread the benefits to all the teams.

Perhaps for the Als-Montreal schools situation, you move that game to Olympic Stadium and then you don't run into the situation of why does McGill get a home game but Concordia et al don't. As for the teams in the Atlantic, I'm not sure there's a solution. But they draw well enough that perhaps they don't need any extra help. The only solution is to have a couple interlock games before an Als game. Obviously there would be some kinks to work out as there's only 8 CFL teams and 27 CIS teams. Not every team would be able to benefit from exposing their home crowd to a CIS game. But an amenable solution could be worked out, where every team in say a 4 or 5 year cycle plays a curtain raiser before a CFL game. Sure at best 13 teams would reap the biggest benefits but the other 14 teams could be the visiting teams and at least in Southern Ontario, there are enough teams in a close enough radius that they could benefit too.

My reasing for this idea though is to increase attendance for the struggling schools. So UBC/SFU and York/U of T (and to a lesser extent Calgary and Manitoba) would benefit the most from the bump in prominence. While the visitors of some of the games might benefit (such as the U of S at Riders' games or some of the Ontario teams at Ti-Cats' and Argos' games), the teams in need of most of the help I would think are in the major cities.

The other problem with this idea is how does the profits work? No CIS team no matter how badly they draw at home, will give up a home game to receive $0. So the CFL club that is hosting the game would have to be willing to contribute at least what the school normally makes off a game. I would say Labour Day and the weekend after would be the best times to run this program. Since Labour Day is likely the largest regular season crowds (at least in Regina and Calgary, I'm not sure how well Ti-Cats/Argos and Als/BC do) that would be the best exposure for the CIS.

[Shootmaster_44]

Ok in today's Star-Phoenix they have the official Huskies schedule. The only change from the one I posted above is that the Huskies/Calgary game that I speculated might be moved from Friday night on the 7th, is indeed moved to Saturday the 8th. As noted above the home opener is indeed a Friday night with that game going at 7 PM, with the other three home games at 1:30 PM.

The Vancouver Sun doesn't have the entire schedule, but it mentions that SFU kicks off against Calgary September 1.

[Shootmaster_44]

So officially so far we have:
Friday August 31 Alberta @ Saskatchewan 7 PM (CST)
Saturday September 1 Calgary @ Simon Fraser
Saturday September 8 Saskatchewan @ Calgary
Saturday September 15 Simon Fraser @ Saskatchewan 1:30 PM (CST)
Saturday September 22 Saskatchewan @ Manitoba
Saturday September 29 Saskatchewan @ UBC
Saturday October 13 Calgary @ Saskatchewan 1:30 PM (CST)
Saturday October 20 Saskatchewan @ Alberta
Saturday October 27 Regina @ Saskatchewan 1:30 PM (CST)

Playoffs
Saturday November 3 Canada West Semi
Saturday November 10 Canada West Final
Saturday November 17 Mitchell Bowl vs. OUA Champ
Friday November 23 Vanier Cup @ Rogers Centre

An interesting idea, but if the CFL ever gets its Ottawa franchise in working order, the GeeGees should be the main act and the Cflers should be the curtain raiser I think !:o
And most season the same could be said for Mac and the Ti-cats !:rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure the home team would have the correct date for each game. The road games may be slightly off as there might be concerns about the CFL or whatever else might use the stadium.

I'm quite certain that the Regina/Saskatchewan game will be a Saturday afternoon game. End of October is a little too chilly to bother having a Friday night game. The little blurb in the Star-Phoenix said that the only Friday night game is the home opener anyhow, the rest of the games would go at 1:30 PM on the Saturday.

Could it be that maybe the Rams are intending to show up a day earlier and declare a forfeit by the Huskies so they don't have to play them? Seems like a Frank McCrystal thing to do. ;)

The only thing I haven't accounted for in this schedule is where the Shrum Bowl goes. I believe that's how UBC and SFU each have 2 byes and still play the same amount of games. Any of the games I've listed as vs. as opposed to @ are games that have to work based on already determined byes and what not. Rids is right in that Regina has Weeks 8 and 9 on Friday nights, however I tend to think the home team's schedule is correct.

You're right - the only Huskies Friday game will be the August 31 game vs. Alberta.

This is the CW sched I saw in March that has the change for the Huskies @ Calgary and it has a date for the Shrum Bowl on Oct 16th. It also says that there is only one Fri night game and the OUA is coming West for the semis. Not sure how this will look when its pasted in.

well, the fact that we have an 'unofficial/official' schedule is good I guess:rolleyes:
This situation - of us having to go to a number of different sites to piecemeal a league schedule together - is typical of the way a majority of the CIS is run and marketed. Oh wait, that would mean it was marketed at all - my mistake.
The CIS as a whole - not the ADs, but some of the upper level bigwigs - need to take a seriously hard look at how the athletics in particular, and the entire university system in Canada is marketed to students and fans.
When are the only times you see television ads for CIS schools? When they are free - during TSN broadcasts. (Sorry, can't speak for RDS or the other french networks).
Granted, print ads and word of mouth generate a lot more than what tv ads do, but I'm sorry, it just doesn't cut it when it comes to trying to attract students from outside the province - and really, that's where the real money lies. Heck, if it wasn't for out of province and out of country students - do you really think UBC would have any cash? Not a chance.
Okay....ending my rant now before I really get upset....:mad:
