As it should be, No. 15 in the No. 1 spot for the Calgary Stampeders when they host the Saskatchewan Roughriders at McMahon Stadium Sunday in the Western Final. Head Coach John Hufnagel says he looked at Kevin Glenns body of work over the course of the season where the 13-year-veteran went 10-3 as a starter before deciding on him as the starter. Well coach Huff is not going to get an argument from me. I wrote several weeks ago that he needed to make that statement. I felt at the time that over the course Kevins natural progression, and the way he seamlessly led the team up to that point, it was necessary for the annotation, so to speak! Why? Well as a season unfolds situations tend to define athletes; and games, win or lose, mold teams. Glenn had led and played so well throughout the season, he quietly, properly, and wiley earned the title, “starting quarterback.” Over the last two seasons much has been said, written, and documented about the pecking order and respect factor with the Fab Three, the three amigos, the three - count it - three legitimate starters, Glenn, Drew Tate and Bo Levi Mitchell. Hell, even the best in the business Brian Williams did a feature piece on the three outstanding quarterbacks and their unique chemistry and certainly their abilities, as seen on CFL on TSN. These three quarterbacks have respect for one another but sometimes, and this is one of those times, depth charts do change. I can guarantee you this, it could have been any one of these capable quarterbacks doing the same thing Kevin has inadvertently done: snatch the starting spot in an instant. Okay, enough said about that. Water under the bridge at this point. Calgary is positioned exceptionally well with such a stable of game experienced, champing at the bit, ready to plug and play quarterbacks. No matter who is behind centre against the Roughriders, getting the leagues leading running back Jon Cornish a minimum of 20 touches will be critical to their success. The importance of Cornish and their No. 1 rushing offence in the CFL, which averages 141.5 yards per game, is magnified against the Riders. If Calgary can limit their giveaways, a league-low 27 in the regular season, play ball control, and dominate the LOS (Line of Scrimmage), they have a real shot at moving on and playing another week.This is even more important as the team will be without their leading receiver, Marquay McDaniel. McDaniel was lost to an ankle injury during the last week of the regular season. Remember, Nik Lewis has been missing since week 7 and Glenn leaned heavily on his favorite target McDaniel in Lewis absence. Replacing that offensive firepower will have to be done by committee. Mo Price, Joe West, Jabari Arthur, newcomer Joe Fuller, Anthony Parker, Brad Sinopoli, and whoever else is healthy enough to hall in passes. So KG knows what he needs to do and thats hand the ball to No. 9 early and often! A concentrated effort to establish the run will effectively open up a young and talented - but relatively inexperienced in the playoffs - receiving corp. Im betting KG plays well, but in the spirit of emptying your chambers at the OK Corral, we will see all three of Calgarys talented gunslingers in some capacity in this Western Final showdown. Ready Break! John Wensink Jersey .Y. -- When the New York Islanders lead was cut in half in the opening minute of the third period, the sense of impending doom began wafting through Nassau Coliseum.

Hood said in a statement Friday that playing for the Blue Devils and Mike Krzyzewski "helped me grow and develop as a player and a person" to prepare him for the NBA. "Now it is time to move on to the next level and chase my dream of becoming an NBA player," Hood said. The 6-foot-8 Hood averaged 16.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists after sitting out last year following his transfer from Mississippi State. He was part of a 1-2 scoring punch with freshman Jabari Parker, who declared for the draft Thursday as a strong candidate for the No. 1 overall pick. Hood was a second-team all-Atlantic Coasst Conference pick.dddddddddddd "He was an integral part of our team two years ago because he was such a great practice player and this year he was one of the best players in the country," Krzyzewski said. "... He will do really well in the NBA and obviously he will always be a part of what we do and we wish him the best." Hoods departure wasnt a surprise, with Krzyzewski saying "I wish we had him for more than one year" during last months ACC tournament. While Parker and Hood are gone, Duke is bolstered by the nations No. 1 recruiting class, led by top overall recruit Jahlil Okafor along with top-10 prospects Tyus Jones and Justise Winslow. ' ' '
