Wow - Ti-Cats just had a 120  
yard run-back for a TD.  
BC had a wide field goal and Brandon Banks ran it back all the way.

Extremely exciting game: BC was up 32-6 at the half.

With 2 minutes to go, it’s currently 38-38, with OT looming.

Given our winters, we start football in June and it ends in November, about the time -30 becomes a possibility. 🙂

Turns out I under-estimated the run-back on the missed field goal: it was 126 yards, not 120.
