I still remember yelling at Brian Kelly as a kid, usually when he'd catch some pass over our DB's, and go in for a touchdown. I didn't know why exactly, but I knew I didn't like him very much. :slight_smile:

Maybe it was cause they always beat us back then.... not that it's really changed now.

Too bad there's no room for KK, but honestly, who wouldn't go with Reed?

A great post and terrific selections. Wow, there were some tremendous players on both squads. Again, a great post!!

CFL forever
