The camps are in Tampa on March 30.
Dallas Texas TBA
Somewhere in California TBA

Also Ken Peters said should be New signings this week .
So Today I watch the Press Conference about Conditional Team in Ottawa.
People say it great news for the CFL ..
It is premature to say it is great News IMO.
It is conditional Team ... Here is Websters Definition of Conditional
" conditional probability

Main Entry:

conditional probability

the probability that a given event will occur if it is certain that another event has taken place or will take place

Ottawa has so many Obstacles in it's way Before Returning and Being Viable as a CFL Team
here are just a few:

They have to get the rights to the Ball Park. They have to Fix the Ball Park to Fit 24 or 25,000 They have come up with a Name. they have to get people to buy in to new team. They have to Hire a Staff and Draft a Team

They have to make it past the 1st 5 years of existence as a CFL Team .
As the 1st 5 years of a new Start up are the hardest
The Rens lasted 4 years and Died..
It will only be good news if they Make it past all these stages
Until then it Just words on Paper.

Ask me about this new CFL Team in 7 years.
If there here at all.
Until then Welcome back is premature to say

I do wish them Good Luck in Making Ottawa work this Time.
Cause If they Strike out a 3rd Time there out for good

IMO they should wait to 2015 or 2020 And Bring in Two Teams
One in Ottawa and one Quebec City or Hailfax.
There less Chance of Two teams failing the one.

a Look back at 2007 As we move closer to the 2008 Season

As BRG Covers the Ticats Saying what other Fans Wish they Could.
Enjoy the Video

The Non Import rules should be Removed from the CFL.

Okay I know I am going to get a lot Flack for saying this
But I going to say it anyways
The Non Import Rule is killing our Game.
I'd do a way with it Completely with in the next 4 years

The Best Players should play Regardless of their Passport.
This is affirmative Action for Canadians
it is also decimation. It should be stop.
The Rule which requires teams to keep at least 20
non-import(or Canadian Born Players) is outdated.
It also make the CFL Draft Laughable when you Compare it to the NFL Draft.

The NFL drafts Talent Regardless of your Passport
CFL Teams use a Negotiation list for American Born Players
When They should be Drafting young Talent from the US Canada and World.

Here What I would do over the next 4 years
I Drop the Non Import Content by 5 year
Here is the Break Down:
2009 down to 15 Canadian born Players
2010 Down to 10 Canadian born Players
2011 Down to 5 Canadian born Players
2012 No Non Import Rule (1st Wide open CFL Draft)

So by 2012 to make a team you must be the Best.
Then I move the CFL Draft to Drafting the Best Talent from the world
I Do a way with Negotiation list and open the Market for Players up.

The Non Import Rule is holding the CFL Back.
It is time for it go .

Run Jeese Run but you not an NFL Type back.

I found this You Tube ..
Jesse is a good Back But not NFL Worthy
The Maker of this Video Thinks Jeese would be great with an NFL Team.
I Disagree Completely His Running Style is too Upright.
He takes way too many hits.

This has Cause Injury Issues with Him
This still a Great Video of what Big Man Can Do when Healthy .
He just can't stay that way.
I hope he Proves me wrong as Ticat This year.
The new Offence should Give Him a Chance to win the Rushing Title if He Stays Healthy.

Ticats Mock Draft ..08 Ver1.

Will here is my 1st Mock Draft
My 2nd & 3rd Will be posted March 28 and April 28th.

here is who I think the Ticats will take in Draft.

(1)Barker, Dylan DB 6.04 200 1986-08-21 Saskatchewan
This one here is a No Brainer
This Kid has the best Raw Tallent right now in Canadian Collage Ball Today.

(2)Bradwell, Mike WR 6.03 200 1986-07-11 McMaster
Tall Great hands a Great 2nd Pick
Someone to Challage Chris Bowman

(3)McNair, Corey DB/LB 6.01 195 1986-08-20 Western Ontario
Can play Both LB and DB

(4) Traded to Edmonton no pick this round

(5)Orban, Teale QB 6.02 205 1986-01-08 Regina

Worth a Gamble this late
He has Great Size and Will allow us to Trade Chang
The 3rd Spot for Canadian QB Will Worth the Pick

(6)Buyden, Hubert OL 6.03 285 1982-01-04 Saskatchewan

OL we have alot Depth here but this late He is Best Guy left on the board.

Ticats need to Draft Dylan Barker Unless they get a Huge Offer

Dylan Barker is too good to pass up.
A Canadian Saftey who can lay the Lumber Much like Hitch use too
This is who The Ticats Should Draft
This kid is 6'4 200 Pounds .

Unless you get a Trade offer for a Starting American WR for the Pick

If you can Package QB Timmy Chang and the 1st Pick in 2008 Draft
let say for a Ken-Yon Rambo or a Geroy Simon you make the deal.

Other Wise you Take Barker and He Starts for next 5 years
