Brian Decker Executive Editor VANCOUVER – It was almost a surreal scene. The Laval Rouge et Or, perhaps the finest football program Canadian university football has ever seen, were being dominated by a team in its first ever Vanier Cup appearance, trailing 23-0 and being outplayed by the McMaster Marauders in every part of the […]
It's the day they've all been waiting for. Every CIS player dreams of playing in the Vanier Cup, and for the players and coaches of the McMaster Marauders, that dream has finally come true.

Ben Orr Silhouette Staff The Marauders’ young season has been inconsistent to say the least. Still, after splitting another weekend's games, the McMaster women's basketball team sits at 2-2, good for a tie for fifth place in the OUA West division.

If you are plagued by headaches, however, they can act as […]
Brian Decker Executive Editor Saying the McMaster football offence has been potent of late is like saying Lamborghini has built a few cars. They’re not just moving the ball and scoring points; they’re doing it in brilliant fashion. In their three playoff games in 2011, they’ve outscored opponents Queen’s, Western and Acadia by a […]

The Middle-Ages belief that ghouls and demons walk among the living has long since been forgotten. But despite our pessimistic tendencies to deny the abnormal, our desire to succumb to silly superstitions still prevails. We may say we don’t believe in bad […]
Brandon Meawasige Assistant Sports Editor For nine Marauders, Friday’s Vanier Cup game against Laval at Vancouver’s BC Place will be their last chance to don the Maroon and Grey on the football field.
