71st Surfman Award: U of T Football Team


I have been following this story for about 7 years now, and I am simply thrilled that the U of T Varsity Blues football team has broken their losing streak of 49 games, in fact they were 21 seconds away from a staggering 50th straight loss.Yet, thanks to an heroic 32 yard field goal by rookie place kicker Andrew Lomasney, the blues team and fans can carry their heads high.The blues defeated Waterllo Warriors 18 - 17 at Varsity Stadium on Labour Day. Having played vasity sports, I can't even imagine what 50 straight losses would have done to the psyche of this team. However, I do believe they would have carried on, because thats what sportsmen do...an old WWII poster from England said "Keep Calm and Carry On"...which can apply to all manner of things in life, right? Anyways, well done gentlemen, you did your school proud!!
