Queen's Golden Gaels win Vanier Cup : Overlooked for individual awards and overtaken for a national record, Danny Brannagan wasn't about to let the big prize slip away. The fifth-year Queen's Golden Gaels star quarterback saved his best for last, leading his team to the biggest second-half comeback in the 45-year history of the Vanier Cup on Saturday. Brannagan threw for 221 of his 286 yards in the final 30 minutes as Queen's erased a 25-7 halftime deficit in beating the Calgary Dinos 33-31 before a sellout crowd of 18,628 at PEPS Stadium. It was the Gaels' first Vanier Cup title since 1992 and fourth overall.

That's right - the Canadian University Football champs and my alma mater. I think I'm supposed to prance about the office for at least a day. Except I had no idea they were even in the final. Whoops.
