Ottawa RedBlacks?

[WildBillPicks7]

What did I miss? Didn't Ottawa have a team once upon ago in the CFL? Ottawa Roughriders maybe? When I was a kid in upstate New Yawk, I used to watch CFL games on our local cable.

This totally threw me off when I read about a new team for 2014!

Craig? Kick? Any info?

Thanks!

This will mark Ottawa's third tenure in the CFL. The Rough Riders operated from 1876 to '96 and were a founding member of the CFL in '58. The Renegades were born in '02 but only operated through the '06 season before being suspended indefinitely by the league. Found this on CFL home page!! WOW!! Why only 1 team though? Don't make any sense. They should have a team in Fargo or Sioux Falls. I know I know, the US? Yes, but folks would flock out to see them play!!

Yeah I did, sorry! But do you have any more info on the League of what's going on? I know they are going to do an expansion draft etc., but are any other teams in the fold for the future? I know not for 2014, only the Redblacks, and what a ridiculous name huh? Redwolves or something else would have been ok, even the "Fightin Ducks!" LOL

Thanks Kick!!

CFL has been talking about a team in Halifax for years, maybe by 2017 it will happen:shrug:

And agree, the "Redblacks" name is kind of odd.
