To be accurate, since posting about this game earlier this month, I've created a page specific to it (see above) and added scores for all the games between 1975 and 1986 and recaps for most of those.
I found 1985's recap interesting because it is the shortest one of any of those games to the point that I've reached, yet it would prove to hold the most future star power. It names only two players and both turned out to be huge deals.
Mark Brown that was inducted in the Carleton Ravens Hall of Fame in 1996. If that link fails, it points out that Brown set Ravens records for yards gained in a game, season, and career and he was named the school's male athlete of the year in 1986 and 1987, among many other awards.
Chris Flynn, meanwhile, was a three-time winner of the Hec Crighton trophy while at St Mary's University, given to the most valuable player in Canadian University football. He took St Mary's to the National Championship game twice. He was with the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1996 and entered the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2001. Both men played with the Ottawa Bootleggers.
I'm sure if the writer and his editor had known that the guys he was watching would go on to be so decorated, the game would have warranted more than four paragraphs of coverage. 😉
