Adrion Smith Only five other men played more games for the Toronto Argonauts than defensive back Adrion “Pee Wee” Smith. A stalwart in the defensive secondary from 1996 to 2005, Adrion was a six-time Division All-Star and a two-time All-Canadian. He was also the Grey Cup with the team three times – 1996, 1997 and 2004. He tied an Argo record in 2005 when he returned his fifth career interception for a touchdown against the Tiger-Cats. Smith also holds the record for the longest kick return for a touchdown in the history of the Grey Cup game. Adrion played 12 seasons in the CFL, ten of them with the Argonauts. He also played one season for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and one for the Memphis Mad Dogs at the time when the CFL tried an ill-fated expansion into the southern United States. Adrion has also become a stalwart within the community. His generous commitment to charities, like Easter Seals, makes him a powerful role model for the citizens of Toronto. Pee Wee is also an ambassador for the Argonauts flag-ship program, Huddle-Up Against Bullying and is a fan favorite for the Courtside Boatmen, the Argos charity basketball squad. After his playing career ended, Adrion was a radio analyst for the Argos in 2007 and a CFL analyst on Rogers Sportsnet in 2008. The long- time Argo attended Southwest Missouri State and was born in Kansas City, Missouri. In 2008, he was inducted into the Missouri State Athletics Hall of Fame. Adrion loved his new home in Canada enough to become a Canadian citizen. Sports Celebrity Marketing S.C.M.

Summer Is Upon Us but the Players and Coaches Are Hard at Work Getting Ready for Training Camp
Summer is upon us but the players and coaches are hard at work getting ready for training camp. There are only 38 days left until players report to camp. The FOGF Golf Tourney is July 27th and the 1st Annual Captains' Lunch is August 12th. Please enjoy the 18th Issue of the Gryphons' Lair. For past issues of The Gryphons' Lair click here. Issue 18 – July 2018 2018 Gryphons in the CFL With the Canadian Football League kicking off, here is a highlight of former Gryphon football players who currently make a living in the CFL. To read more, click here. Argos vs Redblacks Preseason Game Held at Alumni Stadium On June 7th, the Toronto Argonauts and Ottawa REDBLACKS came to Alumni Stadium for a pre-season game. It was an exciting game and, in the end, the REDBLACKS defeated the Argos 32-17 in the CFL's return to Alumni Stadium. We were very proud to see our Gryphons who have gone on to the CFL face off against each other. To read more about it and check out a photo gallery of the game, click here. Tom Dimitroff Honoured at the Gryphon Football Pavilion Tom Dimitroff Sr. was an architect of one of the greatest periods in the history of Guelph Gryphon football. Many of the players from the 1983 team, the Coach's final season, were fixtures on the 1984 Gryphons who would capture the only Vanier Cup in school history. Dimitroff passed away in January of 1996 but his contributions have not been forgotten. That legacy was honoured this month.

Well, here you go. The national crisis is over. The annual post-Super Bowl football withdrawal, a seemingly incurable malady that impacts millions every year the second weekend in February and lasts weeks and months, is now in the past thanks to The Alliance of American Football, the creation of Charlie Ebersol, a television and film producer, and Bill Polian, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They have the football game plan, the business model with multiple big-money investors and a national television contract with CBS to succeed where other spring leagues have failed. The idea is not to compete with the National Football League. That’s a failed concept. The Alliance will complement the NFL and satisfy the insatiable appetite of football fans who otherwise would be suffering from a long period of depression.

Allison, a native of Atlanta, Ga., led the nation in field goals per game, average field goals made per game, and kick-scoring for the final nine weeks of the 1992 season. His 23-of-25 field goals made were the most in the nation, according to the NCAA, and his 92.0 percent made rated best among all kickers for the year. “I did not know about the Lou Groza Award until we played Tulsa in late October,” said Allison. “After the game, Bob Winn (Assistant Athletic Director/ Communications) came up to me in the locker room and said that I was a candidate for the award. I didn’t even know who Lou Groza was at the time. “As soon as we returned to campus, I looked up Mr. Groza’s statistics in the NFL record book, and I talked to Coach Armstrong (UM kicking coach) about his career with the Cleveland Browns.” Joe Allison is the third-leading scorer in school history with 263 points.

The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope. The following chart indicates, by year (in left column), which national media and organizations selected All-America teams. The headings at the top of each column refer to the selector (see legend after chart).
