If "party school" means alcohol consumption, I can understand Tulane's being there. But in Louisiana, the reputation belongs to the Univ. of Louisiana - Lafayette. I'm surprised that Georgetown isn't on the list somewhere.

Uh oh. Drew Tate has hurt his arm gain. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=429268 ***** Here's Jim Popp discussing Dan Hawkins, and Buck Pierce being candid about being demoted. http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4614314

Art Donovan's LA Times obit. http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-art-donovan-20130806,0,1087758.story

British Columbia Lions 27....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 20 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4614265 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=429228 Great first half, with the Lions leading 17-16 at halftime. The Bomber offense didn't look as good in the second half. Maybe the Lions aren't as good as I thought. I thought they would win tonight easily.

Jamel Richardson tore his ACL at practice Sunday, and is gone for the year. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=429192
