It is more expensive for them to do so than to show one of the games from south-Western Ontario, where The Score is based. Even fans in the seats will not change this.<BR/> So I hope for Ottawa road games to be shown. From a selfish standpoint, it is better because I can go to the home games, not all of the away ones.<BR/> Pity if they do not show any. We have a veteran team which is a contender; two Hec nominees on the field at the same time: a QB who is going for the all-time CIS passing yardage record. An exciting passing game with Sacobie to Birungi, Crane, et al.<BR/> If one wishes to showcase some of the best games to the wide public, surely the Gee Gees will provide some of the best entertainment in the OUA.<BR/> I do not want to miss the better match ups for sure, so I have my travel arrangements made for the Ottawa@Western Labour Day game. Should be a dandy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-83110873873172133282008-08-18T17:31:00.000-04:002008-08-18T17:31:00.000-04:00You won't get any argument here (well, maybe from ...You won't get any argument here (well, maybe from Tyler, since he would argue with an echo, just kidding) that the Gee-Gees football team is underexposed in its own market and provincewide.<BR/><BR/>The schedulemaker didn't help the Gee-Gees' cause. The Score hasn't broadcast the Labour Day openers, so their best road matchup, the opener at Western is out.<BR/><BR/>The Sept. 13 game at Mac might not be a bad one for The Score to show, but it's at night, and there's a couple other chances to get McMaster on TV.<BR/><BR/>Coming to Ottawa for the Laurier game on Oct. 4 conflicts with Windsor-Western ... the Oct. 11 game at Queen's, also conflicts with a more conveninently located matchup -- Mac at Laurier. <BR/><BR/>Here's my best guesses at the sked, assuming only OUA games:<BR/><BR/>Sept. 6 -- Queen's-Guelph; Western-Laurier<BR/><BR/>Sept. 13 -- Laurier-Queen's (Guelph-Windsor also possible, but it's a 7 p.m. start) ... personally, they should load up for Lennoxville and air Saint Mary's at Bishop's, let the ROC see Jamall Lee.<BR/><BR/>Sept 20 -- Mac-Guelph<BR/><BR/>Sept. 27 -- Western-Queen's<BR/><BR/>Oct. 4 -- Windsor-Western <BR/><BR/>Oct. 11 -- Mac-Laurier, but there's a Saskatchewan-Manitoba Canada West game (2 p.m. ET start)<BR/><BR/>Oct. 18 -- Guelph-Western (this presumes they'll have flex scheduling and pick the best matchup with the heaviest bearing on playoff positiiong)<BR/><BR/>Oct. 24 -- Manitoba-Regina is a good Canada West matchup, but (I believe) it's 9 p.m. ET kickoff, which conflicts with The Score's highly profitable wrestling programming.sagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757652892056684490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-41400981392451222482008-08-18T17:13:00.000-04:002008-08-18T17:13:00.000-04:00Based on their performance over the last few years...Based on their performance over the last few years Ottawa U deserves significant exposure on a network like The Score.<BR/>However, if you have ever witnessed a Gee Gee home game then you would know the fan support is pretty pathetic.<BR/>Maybe 2500 fans...on a good day...show up in the cavernous north side stands at Frank Clair Stadium. Compare that to the 9 to 10 thousand who shoehorn themselves into PEPS stadium to watch Laval.<BR/>The only time you would ever see a big crowd for a Gee Gee home game is when Queen's is in town.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-69393667882987950032008-08-18T15:44:00.000-04:002008-08-18T15:44:00.000-04:00They did win the Yates Cup and they do bring in an...They did win the Yates Cup and they do bring in an audience, as the largest university in Ontario which realizes it has a football team.sagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757652892056684490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-85902806424990659742008-08-18T15:38:00.000-04:002008-08-18T15:38:00.000-04:00Ah--the score is in love with Western once again,Ah--the score is in love with Western once again,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-153995149771017752008-08-18T14:51:00.000-04:002008-08-18T14:51:00.000-04:00Make it 100 metres on land, 50 m in the pool.
