Bisons this week
After a big win in last week's Hardy Cup, the Bisons football team has earned a spot in the CIS Semi-Final
The big news on campus continues to be the surprising football team. Last weekend’s Hardy Cup win over the Calgary Dinos propelled the team to their first CIS final-four appearance since 2007.
Manitoba is now the Canada West representative in the CIS Semi-Final and will travel to play the Montreal Carabins in the Uteck Bowl on Saturday, November 22 at 12:30 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast live at cis-sic.tv, Sportsnet 360 and Radio Canada.
