One of the commenters at cisfootball.org just noted that the Queen's Golden Gaels will play a pre-season game vs. their old Big Four/O-QIFC rival, the McGill Redmen, on Aug. 26 in Montreal.
So, so tempted to go. We were there in 2000 at the last Kill McGill game (which the Redmen won, but even their crowd called it Kill McGill) before Queen's returned to the OUA for football and North America's oldest football rivalry was dissolved. We could probably write you several books about the previous autumn's Queen's-McGill showdown at Richardson Stadium, a 30-28 heartstopper that wasn't settled until the final minute.
I'd like to say life was so much better then, but it wasn't.

Starting to be more pre-saeason games in the CIS it seems. But not all of them turn out to be full games, some are controlled scrimmages. I wonder what this is?
Queen's had Concordia U down to Kingston last summer... both teams used about 70 players in the game and they kept score.
I wasn't able to see it, but a Stingers defender whom I covered during his high school career in Simcoe, Bryan Charleau, made a pick in the game... which was the first I'd heard of him playing.
