The Province reported on the high expectations for the UBC Thunderbirds football team.
Last season the team closed out their schedule with eight straight victories capped off by the school’s first national championship in 18 years.
“When you are the Edmonton Eskimos of the 1970s and you win every year, you know how to come back and be ready,” said head coach Blake Nill. “This team has never done that. So we’re working on skill sets associated with grounding the kids. They need to realize that this season is going to be even more complex.”
The story also appeared in the Ottawa Citizen and the Vancouver Sun.
