After the Break

After a couple of days off for Thanksgiving, we're back at practice tonight.  Many of our out-of-town players had gone home to their families following our 66-13 defeat of Mount Allison on Saturday.  I expect that everybody will be fresh and ready for the final two weeks of the regular season. We've got two big games ahead of us, and must win both to be able to assure second place, and a home play-off game. 

Bishops is our next opponent, and we won't overlook the fact that they are in desperate need of a win.  So far, this season has been full of upsets and surprises across the CIS.  Some teams with high expectations like Ottawa and Manitoba have struggled, while perennial basement-dwellers Toronto and Mount Allison each have two wins.  It's proof that the competition has been high throughout the whole season, and no team will win a game merely by showing up.
