Greetings Golden Gaels Fan
Gaels/Lancers

This week features a rematch of one of the most entertaining games on the University Rush last season as the Gaels #8 (3-0) travel to Windsor to face the Lancers in prime time.

Queen's wants to seek some measure of revenge after their homecoming party was spoiled last year. We rallied but were unable to close it out after rallying from 21 down.

This year we get a chance to return the favour at Windsor's homecoming where the Lancers, a preseason favourite, are below .500 for the first time this season.

Catch all the action live beginning at 7:00pm (EST) on theScore.

This is a special year for Queen's football as it will be 125 years since the Gaels first started playing football in 1882.

To mark this celebration Queen's University and the Queen's Football Club will celebrate the occasion in Kingston on Sept. 28th and 29th.

All players, alumni, fans, parents and boosters are invited. The details and registration of the weekend are noted below.


The weekend itinerary will include the following activities:

Friday afternoon golf at Smuggler's Glen
Family Tailgate/VIP seating at Richardson Stadium
Saturday evening Buffet Party at The Grizzly Grill

Golf: Smuggler's Glen was nominated for the Best New Golf Course in 2006 by Golf Digest and is located in the heart of the 1000 islands near Gananoque. It will be a beautiful setting for our return to the Kingston area for an annual golf event. The event will include lunch and dinner and a golfer gift.

Coach Sheahan
Greetings Gael fans. Many thanks for all the positive comments about last week. The team played well at times but we all know there is a lot of work to do. Kudos to Mike Giffin for a gritty offensive performance and 3 TDs. The defense stood tall for the third week in a row.

The Windsor Lancers are a very physical squad that is very athletic. They have made a living using pressure defense and being disruptive. The offense is anchored by a superb runner named Daryl Stephenson and a big play receiver named Glen Mackay. The offensive line is big and beasty and when the first team QB Dan Lumley is playing the Lancers have multiple threats. It will take a full team effort to get out of Windsor with a win.

See ya on The Score - Saturday 7 PM.

Take one pretty good university football team, subtract one senior quarterback, one tackle, the starting fullback and the all- Canadian tailback.

What have you got?

The Windsor Lancers.

Although Lancers coach Mike Morencie says almost all of those people are better, even the ones who play tomorrow night against the Queen's Golden Gaels will be nowhere close to 100 per cent.

Of the four who didn't play last week in Windsor's loss to Waterloo, only fullback Phil Mancini is assured of not playing against Queen's. Morencie said the team got word Wednesday night he's likely gone for the season with a knee injury.

Morencie hopes Lancers QB can make difference

BY JIM PARKER STAR SPORTS WRITER

Quarterback Dan Lumley's value to the University of Windsor Lancers can't be measured in stats.

After watching the Lancers unravel in the second half last week, Lancers head coach Mike Morencie is sure the presence of Lumley would have made a difference.

After being sidelined by injury last week, Morencie is hoping to have Lumley back in the lineup Saturday when the Lancers host Queen's for homecoming.

"We need his leadership." Morencie said.

DONNA SPENCER

September 19, 2007

It's a winding road to follow, how passing up an opportunity in the Canadian Football League led Bill Burke to buy an Ontario Hockey League team and install it in St. Catharines, Ont.

When Burke was a running back at Wilfrid Laurier University in the late 1970s, he decided to finish his economics degree and get started on his career instead of attending training camps of the Calgary Stampeders or the Toronto Argonauts.

The former drafted him, and the latter acquired his rights from the Stamps.

Fast forward to 2005, when his son, Billy, playing both hockey and football at Queen's University at the time, was recruited by the OHL's Barrie Colts.
