Tonight's game is important for the Cats since they will get a look at BC, who are a bit hard to predict this year, as they could be anywhere from the best to the fifth best team in the CFL. Since next week's game is Friday, the Cats at least get two extra days to prepare. No definite word with regards to Caulley and Smith playing next week, but both seem unlikely, which isn't good for the Cats. They have Cobb on the practice roster so maybe we will see what he can do.
Winnipeg last night looked better than I thought they would, which is somewhat damning with faint praise as I thought they would be terrible. LeFors wasn't the excrement I thought, but struggled to move the offense. Somewhat surprisingly, the Bomber offensive line that was pretty much blown up over the offseason wasn't completely crappy either. The Bomber defence did look decent and if the team didn't get a boneheaded illegal procedure call to back up their tying field goal attempt five critical yards, the final score might have been different.
David Naylor has an interesting post analyzing which US and Canadian universities have the most players in the CFL. Mac leads with nine (for now depending on what happens with Lumsden). A lot of those players correlate with the Marshall era.
