Is that the CFL?

Super cool. He was fun to watch! Hopefully he can do something with his new opportunity.

Is that the CFL?

Yes

 

[David321]

Man I was really hoping he'd get on a USFL team. Hopefully this will open up the path to that. Then again, not sure which one would pay more for him.

USFL pays about 5k a week or about 75k a season. Gotta believe he will make more in the CFL

This is great, ESPN shows a ton of CFL games

 

[PAcuse]

Great to see he is getting a shot.

It’s not Boston college

Could have been a Canadian arena league for all I know. I don't watch the CFL buster.

No, they don't have the contract any longer. CBSSports Network took it over the last two years and to me has showed a lot more games than ESPN ever did. Just wish they would show the playoffs. Last year they didn't show the Grey Cup but did this year.

You can watch all the games they don't show on the network online for free which has been a nice option to have.

Looks like the current QB1 is Nathan Rourke, who graduated from Ohio University in 2019. It could be a challenge for Shrader to get on the field.

Any relation to Indiana QB Kurtis Rourke?

Kurtis is his younger brother

 

[GoSU96]

Congrats, hopefully he’s got his arm right. Plus athlete who when healthy was pretty damn good.

 

[CdnGuy]

That's fantastic for Shrader! Vancouver is a beautiful city and he should feel right at home in BC Place, a dome stadium.

LOL, my Dad used to call me Buster when he was perturbed at me. Thanks for that.

Glad he has gone on as he deserves it.

TY. I knew some network was showing them, I just could not remember which one.

Dad's not really pissed until he calls you by both your first and middle names.

Then you know you stepped in it big time.

It hurt me more than it hurt BO but it was for his own good!

All this time I thought there was a 7th year rourke for Ohio/now Indiana. Super confusing when a maac team has one brother then the next play

 

[orangeinohio]

Kurtis is his younger brother

LOL. I talked with his dad down in Wake Forest with a few, and his mom (shorter) and a few friends at a good TM tailgate. He didn't know my name so I guess I'm good.

CFL I think might fit his skill set better. Wide open field. Lots of room to scramble and throw. Great move I think. I love the CFL. It’s really a great league.
