CFL Beat: Your 2025 Season Wrap-Up

The Maestro - November 20, 2025November 19, 2025

Another season, another end-of-year wrapup. Once again, the Grey Cup surprised and entertained us all, in the best way possible! And best of all, my end-of-year recap was finished before baby's arrival. So glad to be so punctual. Before the recap, we'll lead off with the final round of league

Narrowing the Playoff Field MAYBE JV NFL Saturday

King Hippo - November 15, 2025November 14, 2025

There is no Lesser Footy again this week. As such, maybe we can look at the macro JV picture, given how close we are to the end (and Hippo's inevitable, crushing depression). I'd say, without hesitation, that tOSU and Indiana are in. As is Bonfire Cult, with Roll Damn Tide (and

CFL Beat: Playoffs – Grey Cup

The Maestro - November 13, 2025November 12, 2025

It's the final weekend of CFL action. I'll miss Canadian football greatly when it's done, of course - but I have so much to do between now and May 2026 with this whole new baby thing going on that I feel like I'm barely going to have time to catch

8 Nov 2025 JV Night Thread

Very weak/shallow night pool, let's just make the best of it, shall we? Wake Forest (+6.5) at Wahoowa (7:00, ESPN) Believe it or not, NC State beat both of these. Be funny if my Wolven Sort were somehow the "1" in 11-1 for Wahoowa AND Georgia Tech. Wouldn't bet on it, though. LSU

CFL Beat: Playoffs – Division Finals

The Maestro - November 6, 2025November 5, 2025

We're down to the final three games of the 2025 CFL season - I certainly hope we have some entertainment left here. I With just over a week until baby's expected due date, I would just like a final chance to get my report cards done and final CFL Beats

CFL Beat: Playoffs – Division Semifinals

The Maestro - October 30, 2025October 28, 2025

We made it! The playoffs are here! It's one of my favourite times of year for football; with most of my backyard leaves down relatively early this year, I should have more time and space to watch football than I have in years previous. Now if only I can deal

CFL Beat: Week 21

The Maestro - October 23, 2025October 22, 2025

What a treat it is when the final week of the regular season still results in meaningful, significant football to be played. In this case, we still have several important playoff races to settle! In the East, Hamilton and Montreal are tied with identical 10-7 records, with Hamilton currently holding

CFL Beat: Week 20

The Maestro - October 16, 2025October 15, 2025

In the second-last week of the season, the West playoff race remains wide open, with just one team having clinched a playoff spot and all four others remaining eligible in the race even now. With the ineptitude of Ottawa and Toronto in the East Division this year, this also opens

Mid-October JV Goodness

King Hippo - October 11, 2025October 10, 2025

Holy cats, just SO MANY good matchups today. Almost makes up for it being another stupid international break (in the footy). To the fixtures! Roll Damn Tide (-2.5) at Mizzou (Noon, ABC) Nobody knows if Mizzou is legit, but early on they look better despite losing their long-term QB and 2nd round
