Winter’s Prelude

Saturday, December 5th, 2009 by Jon

It has been a long time since I posted here.  Time has a way of passing you by when you are not looking.  I have some ideas for some posts, but fleshing them out has always taken a lower priority than other work.  We will see what will happen this winter.

I held another set of challenging CFL contests this year.  It was a challenging year in the CFL, with parity making picks much tougher.  Everything culminated with winter’s prelude, an exciting Grey Cup.  Although the outcome disappointed many, it was a tremendous comeback by the Montreal Alouettes.

Before we get fully into hockey season, it is time to check your Grey Cup tickets and pool boards.  If you want the quarter scores from this year’s championship, head over to cfldb.  While you are there, check out some of the information they have added like a searchable CFL rulebook and CFL videos.

The franchise would then have time to finalize negotiations for the stadium lease and team name to be awarded the franchise and be fully operational by training camps in May. #
