  2. Montgomery C. Burns from Springfield, Canada writes: Great for the Badgers! Talk about an underdog that knows how to win something.
  3. G MACK from Toronto, Canada writes: Clark the Mighty What??? What have you ever won? This should be good!
  4. Lindsay Ross from writes: To Clark the Mighty Loser......as an alumni of Brock I'm very proud of the outcome here. You would be hard pressed to name another university in Canada that has as many CIS titles in the last 10 years as Brock. All this from a relativesly small school compared to many in Canada. All this and they don't even have a football team...yet.
  5. steve allan from Canada writes: Excellent! No one expected this championship which only makes it that much sweeter.

    Congrats to Ken Murray and his team.
  6. D B from Titletown, Canada writes: To quote the Big Aristotle, "Can you dig it!???" Nice work, Badgers!Congratulations, Coach Murray and Athletic Director, Lorne Adams.
  7. Michael Peters from Toronto, Canada writes: Nice win.

    Ignore Clark. He constantly embarasses himself on these forums.
  8. Mike the Articler from Canada writes: A wonderful surprise for a University and a municipality that gets little respect (see above). Brock and St. Catharines are two of the best kept secrets in Ontario - secrets kept even from some their own residents.

    Congratulations and thanks to the Badgers for giving my battered hometown something to crow about.
  9. P McLean from Canada writes: I guess it's the curse of the game being Saturday night with no paper on Sunday, but I can't believe there is barely any attention paid to the Carleton loss on Saturday. Brock beat the teams that they were scheduled to play, and they get the trophy, and good for them. But the story of the weekend by far is Carleton losing that game.

    5 time defending champs, who were not a team at the end of their run lucky to get back again. They were clearly the best team, and no one would take them down in a best of 7 series. But it's one and done, which is what makes it great. That game was one of the greatest CIS games I have ever seen. It was so good I didn't change the channel despite the announcers trying their best to make me want to.
  10. Charles The Third from Canada writes: congrats. now if they could only learn to read and write... because, as you know, "you only have to walk and talk to go to Brock".
  11. Original Six Fan from Canada writes: Congratulations Brock. Ignore the first post from Clark the Mighty - Mouth, who as another poster said "constantly embarasses himself on these forums". He doesn't even provide anything witty or comic and usually can be found spouting off nothing on the Leafs and Sens forums as he clearly likes to see his name in print.

    I had the full ticket package and without a doubt, virtually every one of the games was thrilling and not decided until the final seconds. Looking forward to next year's and the year after which will also be held at Scotia Bank Place and would encourage other sports fans to attend if you want to see an exciting sporting event at a very resonable price. You will not regret it. Much better live than on TV.
  12. Michael Peters from Toronto, Canada writes: Charles The Third can rhyme!!! Clearly they must have attended Western. Perhaps Queen's...
