Game Review: Dinos 20, Huskies 8

The first few seconds of the post-game news conference summed up the night well.

Huskies looking for redemption against Dinos

The Huskies suffered a rare one-sided loss against the Calgary Dinos a couple of weeks ago. The offense sputtered and a veteran defense gave up 38 points. But the Dogs rebounded a week later to beat a very good UBC team at Griffiths Stadium. In that game the offense got back on track, which is [...]

Officially Speaking: Bye Week Edition

Lost in the action of last week’s close, hard-fought Huskie win over UBC was the excellent job done by the officiating crew. The game was evenly and not overly officiated, and for the most part the officials were invisible, which is what they aim for. But it wouldn’t be a Huskie game without a few [...]

Game Review: Huskies 36, Thunderbirds 33

Boy, did they need this! Coming off of two consecutive losses, the Huskies needed a confidence boost with a win. More importantly, however, was the way they won. This tough, grind-it-out victory against a very good UBC team that came down to the wire is proof to fans, but more importantly to themselves, that they [...]

Game Review: Bisons 26, Huskies 16

I don’t know what it is about playing at University Stadium in Winnipeg that brings the worst out in the Huskies. I’m glad I’ll never have to see it again.

Game Review – Huskies 33, Rams 10

Usually, a 23 point victory over the Regina Rams would be satisfying. Especially on a night where Head Coach Brian Towriss tied former University of Western Ontario coach Larry Haylor with his 169th career win and the Huskies set an attendance record for the regular season with 7,370 fans, this should have been a tremendous [...]
