    Topping the '94 Vanier Cup when Western played Saskatchewan to a 50-40 OT game will be tough.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    There have been a number of outstanding Vanier Cup games over the past decade or so (often a better or more entertaining game than the GC of the same season, IMO).

    Last year - Laval edging Calgary was a fantastic game; UBC vs. Montreal a couple of seasons back was a great game. Gotta go with that Mac over Laval Vanier of a few years back as the best though - one of the greatest football games i ever saw (Duane Forde said "best ever" too ;o)), but that 94 Western win that AV mentions was an amazing game too.

    Too bad more sports fans up here don't get to know or see much of some outstanding CIS football - pathetic lack of interest by the typical wannabe sports media up here; failure of the CIS to promote their game - kinda similar to what the CFL faces on the national sports stage up here - but at least every single CFL game is televised. There should be a CIS game of the week on a national broadcaster, but i guess that's too much to ask for? = sad.
