71

A little sports news for you Saskatchewan expats – Bobby Jurasin is going to the CFL Hall of Fame.
(Surprisingly, photos of Jurasin seem nearly non-existant on the net. If anyone has one to pass along from his Rider days, I’d appreciate that.)

  1. Ah, Bobby Jurasin, Allen Pitts, Gizmo Williams, what memories those name bring to mind. Unfortunately, if they are headed to the Hall of Fame then I must be getting old as crap since I remember watching them play. Ouch!
    Well deserved gentlemen.

  2. Many a young boy in Saskatchewan during the 1980s was inspired to wear a “rising sun” bandana to school, on the tractor, under the hockey helmet, to church, etc. due to Jurasin’s horrific fashion sense.
    He was as big a superstar the province had ever seen. Maybe not the Mozart of Lancaster or the Beethoven of Reed; Jurasin was bigger — think Bruce Springsteen.

  3. Wow, that’s a stacked class being admitted to the CFL Hall of Fame. All well deserved, as they were all great players.

    If the magnitude of the tragedy of the Liberals in Canada is measured by candidacy of Blinda Stronach for leadesrhip, let them to suffer under disease of incapability and ignorance.
    Compared to the thundeous waves of tsunami, which distinguished thousands of lives in a matter of hours, the exorbitant ignorance of the Liberals in Ottawa for candidacy of the unqualified Blinda Stronach, who fails the basic of merits, education and accountability, will emerge ” slow moving tragedy” of the Liberals’ elimination in Canada.
    Blinda Stronach became MP in Parliament Hill because of tricks of Elvis Presely of Aurora and Newmarket, Rev. Dorian Baxter and his boss the former finance minister Sinclair Stevens; Mr. Sinclair Stevens was involved in businesses with Magna International Inc.
    Mike Harris, who supported Blinda Stronach’s candidacy against Stephen Harper, Buzz Hargrove and Sinclair Stevens made conspiracy against Mr. Harper in Aurora and Newmarket and invested all their forces for winning of daughter of Frank Stronach; Mr. Frank Stronach personally was involved in this election.
    The leadership needs merits, education and accountability; Blinda Stronach needs to be sent to the primary school for learning of many things; she needs to be qualified and educated; she must show credibility, independecny and responsibility.
    She has her job becuase of her father, her relations with actors of Hollywood and relationship with Bill Clinton, the former US president.
    Undoubetedly, ignoarnce and education and incapability of many Liberals play a very large part in this plot against their own dignity and values.
    I am very disappointed from these unqualified Liberals, who are digging their own graves in the cemetery of Blinda Stronach’s candidacy.
    Thank you.
    Respectfully yours,
