As someone whose postgraduate research is on Imperial Russian history, I am just watching this in amusement....

Sydney, Australia. Was wrapping up primary school, lol.

They should have just taken up 'Yardbirds' if they really wanted to emphasise 'birds' part of it.

Hey all.

I know I haven't been around very much on .org as of late, especially with how depressing things have become college-sport wise, but this may be right time. Peter did bring an intriguing...

Thank you for your comments! Much appreciated.

Graduate courses are going fine. Some departments allow for mostly hybrid options in terms of courses, while others do almost entirely online. The...

I know I have a long-overdue response for SCG about my time on quarantine and Air Canada...that'll come sometime tonight.

Anyways, can somebody summarise what the hell did I miss over past two...

Smaller universities usually have that issue because they may have oversized themselves over last while. Of course this helps improving local communities and their economies, but when unusual...

Thank you for asking! My apologies for not answering until now - I was getting used to EST once again and yet another semester of my MA classes. Of course, online courses were a huge bummer and...

Hiya folks. Just came back from 40 productive days visiting family in Korea.

In middle of 14 day quarantine in a Downtown Toronto hotel right now. Have I missed much?

Better late than never.

That explains why it's been trending on my twitter since this morning....

YES. SMURF O-GIES!

I do think it's left to really trial-and-error basis at this point in time.

Of course, some forms of flexibility would be needed. Some parts of the country are ready to have sports and classes...

I expect the physical borders to remain closed for some time because of political (and also medical) reasons.

All the Kenney-era cuts aren't helping UofA at all for sure.

Seriously?

Just some updates on my current institution:

Univ. of Toronto has been mostly vague about their delivery, from President Gertler to Arts and Sciences dean Wooden. Of course, it makes sense due to...

There's difference between taking it randomly, and taking it with proper medical assistance.

Just replace it with one simple POV: moral. :D


I do acknowledge that Canadian governments, in both provincial and federal level, have made oopsie daisies. That said, however, I see few problem...

Well, I'm going to be straightforward. I know some of those out here in this forums may use the examples of South Korea or Taiwan as best examples of to why we should open up for most part (none of...

McGill and Concordia definitely have livestreams, at least for hockey.

Well, depends on how you look at it.

If this were pros, it would have made lot more senae. We may have past precedences like that of Jerry Krause and Phil Jackson with late 90s Bulls, or Jimmy...

Transfer? Unless Boyd was coming back, no doubt yes.

The Boyd situation? Not really. What would be inevitable is the Gaels XC dropping from a top-tier to lord knows how much. There are enough...

A sad story for not only Queen's XC and Athletics teams, but also to the Canadian collegiate running community.

As a small-town school that traditionally recruits nationwide (across most sports),...

This reminds me of how all of sudden, I may end up being back at Queen's in fall of 2021.

So I'll be applying to PhD programs in fall for history. Several in US (around 6, mostly midwest and east...

In ideal situation where we (and most of us in the West) were ready, we wouldn't be shutting almost everything down. But we weren't prepared.

It's quite unfortunate but let's just hope that by...

I mean, if one's caring a ton about their grandparents or any elderly members of particular importance, they should avoid seeing them for a bit. Didn't say months, but at least for a while.

I'll...

BC and QC are getting around fine. The issue that makes QC harder hit than BC or ON for that matter is the particular concentration of cases in elderly homes, as well as how compact Island of...

As an ex-athlete of POC background, this changes little to me.

I didn't say I was against players getting paid through endorsements or anything along that line. That I have no problem with, and if...

I hope this will at least get people to realise how ludicrous it is for so many to ask that players get paid.

At this point, too many people out there are ignoring what's the essential, which is...

While PG already pointed out the validity of the article as questionable, I'd probably point out the concern more at improper testing or treatment. A friend of mine lives in Rio de Janeiro and he...

There lies great concern in NA/Europe and to lesser extent Japan and Korea for following reasons:

1) People not following basic instructions listed by government...and common logic. In the initial...

Before people start quoting Republic of Korea or Taiwan's relative successes in handling coronavirus epidemic, I'd like to point out two things:

1) Both South Korea and Taiwan have been prepared...

I do think there will be a season, but who knows. Nothing's set in stone until early June and that's why it's quite frustrating right now.

As for the Golden Gaels, Queen's has pulled off very good...

Same goes to the Gael Force Dinner and all the other Golden Gaels A&R events, including the annual Colour Banquets for both varsity clubs and teams.

I'm currently unsure on whether I'll become...

Carleton's had some shift towards out-of-region recruiting for some time, no?

As for Queen's, 8 CFCers put them right around last two classes. Recruiting 5 OL (headed by lone CFCer Jas Khaira from...

That makes me wonder on K-W Titans' attendance figures, because both Windsor Express and London Lightning have been very successful, if my memory serves me correctly.

It also amazes me on how low...

I meant that I was very surprised to see Laurier seeded 11th when the playoffs began....because they had Sow. If anything, a lot of people predicted Laurier to be around 2nd-4th on OUA overall (so...

I think this should say enough on why Guelph athletics programs will be fine, even as one part of the program will need time to recover and adjust....after they win the nattys in a week or two. Yes,...

Anyone on the shortlist? It's slightly late in the year to hire and whatnot, but there is a + with coaching pool bc. CEGEPs.

Firstly, the intentions are bit more complicated because there's more background to it than engaging on a keyboard battle with bunch of other school alumni.

Since it seems that you did not read...

That is if a FB page of an alumni (who was not a victim nor a current recent athlete, at least from what I read of the thread) is a public forum.

And sure, the convo was heated..but it's not...

Agreed. I am aware of their dominance on the winter season, hence a minor note. Look at the gap between them and the 2nd place for both men's and women's rankings!

I was just saying that bc. XC...

Few comments I'll make on this (which is tied to the other thread about Dave Scott-Thomas situation in Guelph):

- I have looked at the comments on the whole FB thread where the comments consisted...

“It took 13 years for Guelph to fire their coach for what he did, and it took two...

It happens more often in individual sports because coaches hold more power over an individual athlete (think about the ratio on well-run teams, for most part).

As for SR, it seems like DST put so...

All swag, zero substance.

WHY........WHY??????

Queen's lands CB/ATH Taran Birdi from New Westminster (BC). 6'2, 180 lbs. CFC100 player.

Good to bring another skill player from BC. Queens' had solid secondary players from BC for last few years,...
