Hi Mark: I wish the AUS playoffs sis start a week from today. They start in two weeks time...unfortunately. Who needs two weeks off...they're young!! Dr Dick
Are the AUS people dumb as a box of rocks or what?
WHY do they always wait until wait ONE week before Nationals to hold the Final 6?..and then bitch about not having enough time to prepare for the CIS championships!
Well, duh!
For 24 years,these dummies hosted nationals...they could have held their league playoff anytime they wanted to!
Unbelievably, with the CIS tournament no longer in Halifax, the AUS STILL insists on holding their tournament just a week before even though they have to travel now just everyone else!
That is just stupid!
Is the AUS giving their national representative a fair chance in Ottawa?
I don't think so!
