Redeemer Rough Royals are Ready to Roll

Redeemer Rough Royals are ready to roll in our third football season, glad to hear the players of the years from the past Andy Luchies and Matt Neal will be returning, as I just know both Pain Train and Real Deal will be rumbling to bring on the noise in September. Not sure how the outdoor tackle ball on the field is going to go, with no change on the ironman rules or a legitimatization towards a flag game for the college association league, it will be a heck of a battle this year from leafy turf and into the snow for one more Super Bowl Sunday Chili Snow Bowl victory against another regional opponent elsewehere. But I do know with three separate teams for the club to play indoor touch ball in the arena, making it all out war on the floor, a 50 yard gym wall to wall brawl hopefully giving us another great RUC Royal Cup.

With less than half a month away from gametime, the Royals only became Rough when the Redeemer athletic department announced it would not call for the return of flag football as an official college sport this spring, with some players in their last year, there was no other choice but to remain independent and play the rough and tough no equipment game. I figure this independent unsanctioned club will have to eventually go legitimate and join both the OCAA and CCAA, that means going from no holds barred tackle and into an official flag rules game, which many of the original diehards rightfully would never go for.

I truly would, however, like to protest the lack of need by the institution to celebrate both Labour Day and Spring Break. These are two important times of the year for myself, where I have been able to happily party hardy in the past, yet have not been able for the last two and coming three years. My only actual real criticism, constructive or other, of the academic system there, which does not actually really have anything to do with academics, but rather the quality of extracurricular activity up on the Mount ReDee.
