Manitoba Bisons stripped of football victories

The Manitoba Bisons football club won't be competing in the Canada West Universities Athletic Association playoffs after all.

The Bisons used an ineligible player for its first five games of the 2009 season, and have been stripped of three victories, meaning they won't play in Calgary against the Dinos Saturday in a Canada West semifinal game.

Tuesday morning, Canada West announced that due to an eligibility violation, the official results of three football games played by the Bisons have been overturned.

The player has not been named, but it could be receiver Julian Hardy. Hardy spent the 2001 season with the Ottawa Gee-Gees, but was suspended for four years following a doping violation at the end of his first year. The suspension was supposed to eat up his final four years of CIS eligibility.

Bison victories over the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds and Alberta Golden Bears have been changed to losses, while a third game, a Manitoba win over the Simon Fraser Clan, was declared "no contest'' because both teams used an ineligible player.

The Bisons' record will stand at two wins, five losses and a no contest.

The new matchups for Saturday are Alberta at Calgary and Regina at Saskatchewan.

It's karma for talking shit about the U of A.

[Barrister]

How the fuck can that happen - either from the U of M, or from CIS.

You'd think whether a player is eligible or not would be pretty fucking obvious to all concerned...

Especially when the guy is probably close to 30.

Watching Iowa-Northwestern, this is one sloppy game.

Yes, yes it is.

Listening to Furman at Auburn, don't even know who Furman is. At least they can win this one.

Iowa lost to Northwestern. Now we don't have to worry about a shitty Big 10 team making it to the BCS championship.

It's probably going to be Texas anyway.

I'm assuming Ohio State will get its asshole lovingly reamed by JoePa in Happy Valley.

BECAUSE PRYOR NEEDS TO GROW THE FUCK UP.

My prediction stands.

Probably, but anything can happen. I remember in 2006, a mediocre UCLA beat USC in the last week of the season, which paved the way for Florida to move in the top 2 and a spot in the national championship game. I know Texas is good, but they're not guranteed to go undefeated. Just today, I saw an article talking about Notre Dame probably going to a BCS bowl game. Right now, they're losing to Navy. They play Pitt pretty soon, and they're a good team too. I highly doubt Notre Dame ends up playing in a BCS game.

Still, I'm with you in thinking that Texas has the strongest chance of any team of making it to the championship game. Florida is 2nd, then Alabama. After that, who knows? Cincy has a pretty good argument, as do potentially TCU, Boise State, and Oregon if those teams win out. I think Alabama, even if they lose today, if they managed to win the SEC West and beat UF, would have a strong argument. Likewise, if LSU wins out and beats Florida in a rematch.

Hugging your Eddie George action figure again, huh?  It's wet with your tears.
