Last post by Throw Long Bannatyne - April 05, 2026, 09:33:42 PMQuote from: Blue In BC on April 05, 2026, 03:43:41 PMThe Birmingham game is televised here tonight in Vancouver so I'll PVR it and watch part of it tomorrow. Whether he's activated or not is still unclear but at best he's a clip board holder for the moment.
EDIT: Still in active as reported today. I don't know whether it matters but technically that contract is void.
Bomber TC begins May 10th with rookie mini camp a few days earlier. So we're only 4-5 weeks from that time frame. Does he jump ship if he can't be activated in the next 2-3 weeks ( with no pay ) and no real information? At that point the UFL season will be half over.
You have to wonder how he's financed himself since graduating from Laurier in 2024, that's almost 2 full years with no income to support a transient lifestyle, lot's of hotels and restaraunt meals. When I graduated from college I don't think I had $100 to my name and something like $10k in student loans to pay back.

The field at St. Vital Park pretty much remains the same as it was when it hosted a senior football game in 1930.
1930 field labelled as soccer pitch
When the 1930 season commenced all 5 league games and an exhibition with the Hamilton Tigers were scheduled for Carruthers Avenue Park. After 2 league games and the exhibition the field was deemed to be unplayable. The remaining games were re-scheduled for Wesley Park but that field was also in poor shape.
The game scheduled for October 11, 1930 had to be re-located once again with St. Vital Park selected to host the game. The late venue change combined with little to no bus service resulted in poor attendance. St.John's defeated Winnipegs 25-0 to win the MRFU championship.
Poor field conditions prevailed at Wesley Park forcing the October 18 game to be re-located to St.Vital Park as well. With the championship already decided and another poor crowd expected, this game was cancelled.

Not a lot of faceoffs and thank goodness cuz our lads were terrible overall.
Of note was Barron and Toews (of all people) went 0 for 4 each

His roster status is nebulous, lol. He has a signed contract that hasn't been officially registered by the league, but he's allowed to practice as an unpaid visitor. He's basically there on vacation.
Even after the Birmingham UFL team drafted him mid January there was no mention of a passport issue until a few weeks ago, you would think if he knew what needed to be done he could have gotten the paperwork done ahead of time. I guess he wouldn't need it if they cut him in TC, as he wouldn't be on their payroll.

Last post by Pigskin - April 04, 2026, 10:48:39 PMBlue Jays in a little bit of trouble. Lack of starting pitchers. Little has been terrible. Kirk injury has hurt the Jays. Heineman has made a throwing error in the last two games which has been costly. And, a few players have not found there bats yet.
