He, John O’Brien and a couple of other alumni made the trek to Toronto and they arrived there in time to take in the the pre-game tailgate. Matt Coates the Ti-Cats receiver, Delano Johnson the Ti-Cats D-lineman and Cameron Walker the Argos D-lineman. The other names that kept being mentioned for their performances.Tough to judge performances without seeing them but that’s probably a good sign for the Cincinnati product. Listened to the Argos-Tiger Cats game on the radio and the name that kept being repeated over the airwaves was Anthony McClung.That seems to be confirmed by the Canadian Football Blog: My dad, who listened to the game on 900 CHML, told me he heard Walker’s name numerous times and that the announcers had plenty of praise for him. UPDATE: I wasn’t the only one impressed with Cam Walker’s play. Be patient, wait for your blocks and turn the corner fast. Matt Nesbitt and Cam Walker were high school teammates at London’s St Thomas Aquinas and members of the 2011 Gryphon recruiting class.Īs your past ST coordinator, I am very proud of you Ryan. No doubt proud to watch their sons coach and play. ![]() I know via social media that Al & Betty Nesbitt and Sherilyn Walker were there too. I saw Zach Bader-Shamai and his dad Michael Bader, half a dozen players, girlfriends and several incoming freshmen. Sarah Garrett was there with her parents. Head Coach Emeritus Stu Lang was there, as was new coach Donnavan Carter and his family. I saw many members of the Gryphon family at the game.They need to be fun EVENTS where people want to come and bring their friends and family. Games need to be more than the 3+ hours between the first and last whistle. All OUA schools need to get with the times and create safe, fun, secure places for fans to enjoy pre-game activities. Fears and misconceptions about tailgating need to be overcome! … and I believe it more today. Banning barbecues in parking lots and harrassing tailgaters won’t grow the game. If the conference, like the Argos, wants to increase attendance then every OUA football game should include the opportunity for fans to tailgate. I wrote this yesterday … I can’t help but think that some of the research the Argos have done and they are now attempting to put it into practice, ought to be taken seriously by the OUA.THIS, is #Argos tailgating! #CFLGameDay #CFL /y6qLezZDWw There is more on the tailgating at CFL’s The SNAP social media outlet. Check out this Toronto Sun story – Touchdown! Argos tailgate kickoff scores with fans – for more on the tailgate party and some video. I didn’t make it to the pre-game tailgate but I heard nothing but good things about it.I think he will be a CFL starter in the not too distant future. Walker looked as ferocious in the game as he did when he was a Gryphon. In addition to a couple big plays on specials Walker sacked the Ticats QB in the 2nd Q, had another solid hit on the QB as he threw and brought heavy pressure several more times. So few Canadian earn starting positions on offense or defense, and so many other outstanding CIS defensive ends have ended up as career special teamers or been switched to positions like fullback, I really had my doubts. When I heard in the off-season that the Argos were looking to develop Walker as the future replacement for All Star Ricky Foley I thought that might be a little optimistic. Walker’s performance deserves a little more mention.Receiver Ryan Nieuwesteeg played the entire 2nd Half as a slot receiver making one catch for 6 yards. Newton played linebacker on half a dozen or so series in the 3rd & 4th Quarters. ![]() LB Curtis Newton made a couple of special teams tackles and was in on a couple of run stops. DE Cam Walker played 3/4 of the game and he was a beast. Long Snapper Reinhart had his usual solid outing in the first half.I was never able to identify Ryan Bomben of the Ticats, making me think he wasn’t dress / didn’t play in the game. ![]() Jake Reinhart wore his usual #58 while the other former Gryphons wore #73, #74 & #75.
