Football remains the underground at Redeemer

Homecoming Football Game, where is the homecoming football game, man? For those who missed it, welcome to the club, because there was no Homecoming Football Game on Royals Field in Redeemer University College of Ancaster, Ontario, Canada. So, no Mud Bowl today likely can be extrapolate into no Snow Bowl later, or at least that is how I am going to interpret it. Unlike Brigham Young University, University of Notre Dame or even Liberty University to the south, as I have said before, Redeemer is quite confident in being the academic superhouse only, without the extra added expense athletics cost in the long run, except maybe in soccer, volleyball and basketball, which remains a fact as well because no other Private Christian University competes at that level in elite sports like football. Personally, I came for the academics, so athletics never really crossed the mind, though it would have been nice to stayed in game shape with a club and league, no matter how small it would have been right here on campus, instead of the off campus game we play between Caledonia and Hagersville. But that is not the kind of animal RUC is, therefore we must accept it and move forward, run the race to receive and obtain the prize we all strive for in life to His glory.
