Kenny Hill is going to try and cut his teeth as a pro QB in the same city that made his dad famous.
Hill isn’t your average CFL practice roster quarterback; his stints at Texas A&M and TCU were quite impressive, and give him a significantly higher profile than your average QB coming in in this role. But the most remarkable part of this might be something that doesn’t have any on-field relevance, but is certainly worth discussing in Montreal, and which can be seen from TSN’s headline: “Alouettes sign son of former Expos pitcher Hill to PR.”
Could we see TCU-Georgia Part II?
Sporting News predicts that Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma and Ohio State will be the four teams battling for the national title this season, with the Crimson Tide and Tigers advancing to again face each other in the championship game.
These projections leave out Georgia, which played Alabama in the National Championship Game last season. Instead, the Bulldogs are predicted to face TCU in the Sugar Bowl.

In the spring of ‘98, when TCU vice chancellor William Koehler led a push for the school to invest heavily in athletics and effectively cleaned out the department, Hesselbrock was one of the few to remain in a high-ranking capacity.
