Staying at Jumers in QC. Gonna miss the game tonight. Dinner date at Duck City Bistro will have to suffice. Those braving the wind and chill, please take good notes.
Embrace the pace of the race.

Offense Overcomes Early Deficit in Bruce Craddock Memorial Spring Game. Western's offense concluded the spring slate with a 50-41 victory.

For people that were at the game, any thoughts? Players that were surprising or what not? Also, did any of the transfer player/JUCO players get to play or are they technically not students till the fall?

Some reason I just wasn’t feeling it last so I stayed in but sounds like there were a lot of young guys especially on defense that made a pretty good impact including GV Dad son

Seems like there was a couple of players missing from the action such as Brandon Gaston?? Any other notables not in uniform? ;) jc

Yeah, he's no longer with the team. IDK if he went elsewhere or what though. I believe that there were a handful of guys that were told that they were no longer on the team shortly after the season ended. Some were for "attitude" reasons, and I think he was in that group. If I remember correctly, he was tossed from the Illinois game for fighting.
