Saskatoon Franchise Generates Much Speculation
Published on February 3rd 2012 at 10:04 AM
Triggered by a story of two fired CUC employees, the interest of Saskatoon in a CFL franchise became a hot topic this week. The Roughriders immediately downplayed the possibility and explained the hurdles. The Saskatoon Mayor stepped in to say the CFL file was closed. Reporters from Regina and Saskatoon review the possibility and draw different conclusions as to why it can’t happen.
Delays Affect Investors Group Field Opening

Despite a still standing Canad Inns Stadium, that bridge is already on fire, with the club preferring to be on the road and play in a half finished stadium. Once the schedule comes out (expected in two weeks) there is no going back and tinkering with dates. Imagine training camp and a pre-season game in a construction zone.
Update: Buchko denies the months behind premise and indicates the 14-16 days behind will be made up with longer hours as the amount of daylight increases.

A nice follow up on the career of Steve Sarkisian, a decade removed from the CFL and the Saskatchewan Roughriders, now head coach of the University of Washington Huskies. There are a lot of nice angles covered in this story. You can see the outcome in Thursday night’s Alamo Bowl.
Argos Practice Facility Destroyed by Fire

Thankfully, no one was hurt. Conflicting details on the timing of the blaze and sketchy details on anything else.
I would think this would have some affect on the coaching staff’s preparation for 2012. One thing is for certain, a permanent location for the Argos offices, training and practice facility will be accelerated, whether that is at Erindale or elsewhere.

Now the fireworks should start. We thought 2012 could be quiet on the stadium front. I feel we will be linking to many Regina stadium articles in the next year.

A very nice honour for a transplanted Angeleno who has married and settled in Montreal and set career records over eighteen years and counting. Maybe there is no need for the number one in the market or go home attitude.
