Football's Oldest Trophy
 

...starts it's playoff ownership run today.

The CIS' conference OUA starts their playoffs today.

Home teams today are McMaster and Queen's. Visitors are Guelph and Western, respectively.

Edit: this year is the 100th Yates Cup.

Western defeats Queen's, travels to Ottawa this coming Saturday.

Guelph beats Mac in the re-match from last week, and visits Laurier on the 3rd.

Any idea who is going to what game? Interested parties want to know.

Yes; the winner of each semi-final go on to compete for the Yates.

I was talking about the officiating crew for this weeks' games. Especially in Ottawa. Will it be a set crew or an Eastern Ontario crew.

I would rather not say, sorry.

Anybody going to the Vanier?

Probably lots of people are going!

But seriously, I might go...

I may have made it sound like I know who the crew is. Truth is, I don't have a clue. The only this I know is this: they're using 7-man and there will be a Referee, Umpire, Line Judge, ................ :D :D

Well, I DO know who the crew is and I am going!

Are you are going as an official or a spectator? :)

I guess I should say I don't know who the entire crew is. :D

The officials from across Canada should sit together. :cool:

I'm there as a fan. A group of 7 of us from Edmonton attended last year in 'toon town, and there was a heck of a "meeting" after the game attended by 40+ amateur officials plus a few CFL guys hosted by the SFOA....course, that was after we thawed out (-22C at game time, but it was a "dry" cold!). No danger of that (cold) this year of course, and, yes, we should create a zebra section at Skydome, oops, sorry, the Rogers Centre!

Cool.

Rogers Centre - blah! Rogers isn't too well liked around here. They gouge us for cable television and cell service.

SkyDome - yes.

Well hopefully Ottawa wins thier next four games...and I will have one of those nice shiny diamond rings from the Vanier.

What are you telling us? :)
