*whispers....I'm in the Room!*

i was thinking the same thing

You said "the whole country". Seems an awful lot of responsibility to put on the shoulders of the poor little AUS. But hey, we got Trump, so I got bigger problems.

Resources, human and material, determine competitiveness. Demographics is destiny.

Atlantic Canada has neither the population, nor the wealth, to be truly and regularly competitive with the rest...

well, THAT seems a bit of an exaggeration

well, technically you can by a great circle rhumb line...

Great game by Bishops. MTA seemed mostly flat, and out-schemed.

Go Gaiters!

MTA. Bishops 2, Acadia 1

Indeed....I have run out of sons. I regret that I only have three linemen to give to your country.

Heckuva game. Kudos to Acadia

this Mountie defense.
holy shit.
it's like a werewolf with chainsaws for hands.

Agreed

Edit: they'll try. MTA will not go gently

when the kings stole Gretsky

as a Yank, I can argue that poutine is Canada's greatest national achievement
:cool:

*ducks...covers...runs away*

How they could accomplish that, and be on the outside of the playoffs looking in, amazes me.

it all lies in their penalty yards per game. this team could easily be 4-1 or 5-0. If they handle...

Agreed
Mount A seems to have found their footing, and are capable of beating any team in the AUS down the stretch. With a big veteran offensive line, they can control a game physically with the run,...

correct, 4 5th years, one 4th year. so i believe the entire line will not be back next year. there's some talent beneath them but not a lot of depth currently.

He reminds me of Botel. Runs to darkness. But that offensive line was opening up huge holes too.
This Mountie team could be undefeated, but they continue to shoot themselves in the foot...

I believe it is actually a New Brunswick provincial statute than one in every three residents must be named "Estabrooks"

Cormier is a beast

And Estabrooks runs like a slinky made of razor wire

this year's Mounties have vexed me. they could've won every game they played. nice to see them put a complete game together to get the W

So BU /MTA should also be a good game next week.

perhaps "the team i'd most want to beat"?

The AUS is always entertaining

get anything good to eat? as i recollect, we're just past prime lobster season in the maritimes...

Mount A v Acadia preseason game this coming Saturday, 17 August.

the Bureaucracy ALWAYS wins

The BUREAUCRACY has a better won/loss record than the Harlem Globetrotters

a very happy Canada Day to all of my Canadian/Canadien friends up in the land of sanity. We'll get it right down here in the lower 48 eventually.

your minimalist prose says so much. brilliant. hemingwayesque.

why, are their underemployed lawyers in the Maritimes?

i could make the argument, that given its pain relief qualities, the kid might have an advantage over those who didn't manage pain thusly.

but i won't, because, again, i think it's a stupid rule.

on the one hand, it's a rule, and he broke it. the suspension is almost meaningless...to have any teeth, it should take effect during the season, not the offseason.

on the other hand, it's a...

it sounds better in the original latin

many of us have extensive experience with the criminal justice system(s), from all aspects.

I think the hardest balance to strike is between a victim's and an accused rights. but i would not...

true. with loucks, i honestly thought next year this team would be primed.

ah well, next man (and coach) up...

just waiting for white smoke to issue forth from Sackville...

way to read into what i said.

I feel nothing but compassion for the victims of sexual assault. the two complainants in the instant case are alleged victims of sexual assault, and the accused are...

I get this, but I'm not sure how I feel about it, or how I should feel about it.

I stand with due process.

In all of these scenarios, I always worry about due process to the accused weighed against the alleged victims rights. It is a horrible situation, regardless

not certain i understand the joke...

no doubt Kelly has some serious potential

we figured you were speaking tongue in cheek

and they should be offering KJ whatever he wants to come back. Up to and including a big honking Stalinesque statue outside the field.

thanks for clarifying. now it seems to me more like an attempt to score cheap points over a tragic situation

Civil matter v Criminal matter. would think that was obvious, but I guess I don't understand your point.

Best game on the continent yesterday

well, it was mostly the arts and gender studies students rebelling over the field.

excellent point. there was a near rebellion amongst some in the student body when MTA paid to have the new turf field installed.

it is subjective because you are predetermining the weakness of the AUS.

i don't disagree that it is currently an accurate assessment, but it is nonetheless a subjective one. no different than...

agreed. if you want to take the subjectivity of a committee out of the picture, you should not then have any subjectivity in the playoff structure.

with education costs spiraling completely out of control down here, CanadianSchools would be an attractive landing spot for US recruits
