TETRACAINE CCD

 

Well, in case you’ve been vibrating on a higher
plane of existence for the exact seven days
between my deadlines (Sept 16-23), here’s an
update on what you’ve missed in the world of
sports.

With all of my hockey info in “Lockout
Corner,” let’s start with the CFL. The BC Lions
have pushed their team record-winning streak to
eight games with a dramatic 36-33 overtime win
against Edmonton. This game was also significant
because Mike Pringle went out and broke George
Reed’s all time rushing record. Pringle finished the
night with 16,178 yards rushing to break Reed’s
record of 16,116. Pringle also holds the record for
most yards in a season (2,065 in 1998 with
Montreal) and is three touchdowns away from
breaking Reed’s career mark of 137. Apparently, in
lieu of the importance of this game, CBC went
and lifted their local blackout as well. Of course
nobody bothered to tell me that until after the
game.

In basketball, 28-year-old Canadian Todd
MacCulloch called it quits after being unable to
play for the last one-and-a-half years due to a
genetic disorder that screws up his balance and
fucks with his feet. Sad news not only for
MacCulloch, but also for Canadian basketball in
which MacCulloch was a stalwart performer. But,
in good news, the Utah Jazz announced that they
would retire John Stockton’s number 12 on
November 22. This is an honour well deserved by
a basketball legend whose presence is missed in
the NBA.

In golf, (this one’s for you Gert) the Europeans
laid the smack on the US in Ryder Cup action
based on Sergio Garcia’s lead. Garcia won four of
his five matches and halved the other to spark the
Europeans to success.

In baseball, Barry “the roid monster” Bonds
smashed home runs number 700 and 701 as his
run for the all time record continues.

In the Paralympics, Canadian Athletes are actu-
ally doing well, and by my last check have 12

Well, sports aren’t full tilt at Douglas College yet,
but the soccer sure is. And, as I write this, the men
have picked up two more wins. They dumped Fraser
Valley 4-0 and then beat up on Kwantlen 5-1. This
leaves them only one point out of first place with
four games played as they stand third with nine
points overall with a record of 3-1-0. Leading the
way in the men’s league are Cap College and
Langara who each hold ten points with a 3-0-1
record. This great effort by our men garnered play-
er of the week honours for Devon Greenside, our
third-year defender and team captain.

Also on tap last weekend (my last weekend that

is. Which is two weekends ago by the time you read

 

medals, including seven gold. Maybe it’s less pres-
sure for them because nobody seems to care how
well they do.

And in random news, Kim Clijsters and
Lleyton Hewitt have set a wedding date in
February. We’re looking at another couple who’s
gonna have kick-ass tennis-playing kids.

That’s it. That’s as interesting as sports got in
the last week. At least, for now, you know what
you missed.

 

Two More Wins For the Good Guys

this...whoa, that’s trippy. ’m gonna have to get
high and think on that later), were two games for
the women against the same two colleges that the
men played. The women tied both games 1-1 and,
like the men, are sitting in third place overall in their
league. They are six points out of top spot, howev-
er, with a 1-0-3 record. Tops for the women is
Okanagan with a record of 4-0-0,

And, to close, Pll say it again, if you haven’t seen
these teams play then grab a bottle of 151 rum and
get the fuck out to those games. Love always,
Darren Paterson.
