Harke who is a Sherwood Park kid was drafted out of the U of A Golden Bears, not U of Calgary Dinos. You do have me wondering though what Buratto is up to these days. He's not listed on the coaching staff of either U of Alberta or U of Calgary. There is a Dinos link that shows him but he isn't listed on their 2018 list of coaches. He was out at UBC from 2015-17 having followed Blake Nill out from U of Calgary to UBC. Seems like he had been in Calgary, came to UBC then disappeared after his stint out at Point Grey. He's 76 now.
I've figured all along that even if they don't have agreement before the current deal expires they would continue to negotiate into training camp if they feel they are getting down to the short strokes.
My 5th wheel trailer/ski chalet is set up at Heffley Lake, about a half hour from Kamloops yet I have stopped going to TC because it is too boring watching calisthenics and walk thrus.Hambone wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2019 6:43 pmI read that too BCF re: padded sessions. I understand the player safety angle but it's getting so that unless a fan lives in the community hosting camp it's just a waste of time and money to attend. Padded sessions at least have some feeling of real football. Non-contact sessions with helmets only are frankly boring. How does an armchair QB assess guys in the trenches when 90% of camp contact is with a blocking sled or tackling dummy? There's probably a new Sonnet commercial in the making comparing the old days with today except back in the day it was two-a-days very day in full gear. Norm Fieldgate must be shaking his head thinking he was born 60 years too early.

I have tried it....and having the brim tilted to the side screwed with my depth perception. My right eye wanted to focus on the brim while my left eye wanted to focus on the distance. Resulting in....walking with a severe tilt.DanoT wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2019 10:30 am"Coach Side Hat". I love it. Fans at the games should wear their ballcaps sideways.
