2017 Vanier Cup

Rick Zamperin considers this could be the best Vanier Cup ever.

A McMaster vs. Laval title game probably was the number one choice of those planning Saturday’s Canadian university football championship.
Western vs. Laval is the next best thing, and some would argue even better for a variety of reasons. ...

First and foremost, the Mustangs and the Rouge et Or are the two most decorated football programs in USports history.
This will be Western’s all-time high 13th trip to the Vanier Cup. ,,,
The Quebec powerhouse has made 10 previous trips to the big game, and have won nine of those games, losing only in 2011 to McMaster.

Topping the '94 Vanier Cup when Western played Saskatchewan to a 50-40 OT game will be tough.

2011 Vanier for me.

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.
