Friday thoughts

Random thoughts on a sleepy Friday after a late night at the Rider game:

• We didn't honestly think Burris, Reynolds and the Calgary receivers would stink the joint out again, did we?
• Memo to Adarius Bowman and Michael Palmer: Please hold on to the football. Thanks.
• Another broken fibula (Belton Johnson). Is it time to start looking at the footwear? I'd be asking the folks at Reebok some questions.
• Did you see where Eric Tillman stopped the blindfolded fan taking part in an on-field promotion from running into the side advertising boards? Clearly ET has seen enough injuries this year!
• Tonight we introduce tackling to the atom Cougars. Should be a most interesting evening!
• A very public thank you to John Makie Sr. for helping this rookie coach get his team organized. Team manager Sonia Banin deserves some kudos as well!
• So the wackos from the Westboro Baptist Church plan to picket at the funeral of Tim McLean in Winnipeg? I hope it doesn't, but this could get ugly.
• Maybe I'll swing by the Folk Festival after practice tonight. I hear Jully Black wants to meet me!
