Vanier Cup Annual Predictions

It's time for the Vanier Cup annual predictions!

This year's game features U of Sask (9-2) hostine U Laval (10-1).

The G-Spot

Instead of going with my head (on paper Laval should win and win handily) I am going to go with my heart who I will be cheering for and pick Sask. Hoping that the come from behind last week, potential bad weather and home field advantage will sway them to this one...not to mention the revenge factor from 2 years ago when they lost to Laval in that 7-1 thriller. GO HUSKIES!

I say Sask 31 Laval 28

hijinks:

- Walters getting punted out of the Stadium in grand fashion, not because he is overly intoxicated but because with the lack of body fat in his emaciated frame he gets hypothermia symptoms that mirror those of someone OD'ing on crack
- Jerred will have an unfortunate incident with an IV bag full of booze and his lower unit will end up with frostbite
- I am predicting that DOD will have a lot of luck with the "local" ladies... of the First Nation Variety

G......OUT

Don's Dirt

I too have to opt for the Saskatchewan Huskies. I am looking forward to Lavel getting knocked off and have become a huge fan of Tyler O'Gorman (he is exciting to watch with the ball) and Bret Thompson (could have been a costar on Starsky and Hutch with that hair)




Final Score: Sask 27 Laval 24

Hijinx:

- Skinny is refused entry to a fine Saskatoon establishment on Saturday evening after the game due to excessive celebration.

- Mrs Garrett appears in Sask and it is revealed that she has been stalking G since last year in Hamilton.

- DOD stays off TV this year

That's all folks. And remember kids...Keep away from the Chestnuts!

V-Line:

I am going to dissent with the prevailing opinion and pick a Rouge et Or victory.
Final Score: Laval 17 Sask 10

I'm calling for a low-scoring affair (rare) in which the Rouge et Or prevail with their defense stepping up and Groulx the QB coming up with big plays as necessary. Both teams are used to cold conditions, but despite the Green and White faithful on hand, an untimely turnover will seal the victory for the Rouge et Or.

Hijinx:

- Walthers' prosthetic pennnnisss makes another appearance and the tip freezes and breaks off.

- Dirty Don purchases an enormous foam cowboy hat which he uses to smuggle in booze to the game.

- It is so cold that the beer freezes into "beersicles", a nice light snack.

- Jerred almost misses the plane right home due to last minute urgent rush for the lavatory at the Sask airport, but he recovers in time to board the plane.

- Upon learning of the provincial law requiring bottoms on exotic dancers in Sask, Kenny G negotiates and successful passes a new bill through the Saskatchewan Legislature in time for Saturday night.
