The Golden Bears of Alberta are the clear favorites in the Canadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS) Competition. Alberta will venture south to play exhibition matches against USC and UCLA. These matches will provide an excellent benchmark of the relative strength of the CIS. So, in the words of Gordon Lightfoot, we’ll be “Alberta Bound.”
“But they never seem to find me
And the one I left behind me
Is the reason that I’ll be Alberta bound
Alberta bound, Alberta bound
It’s good to be Alberta bound
Alberta bound, Alberta bound
It’s good to be Alberta bound”
Let’s grow Volleyball together, please! See ya tomorrow.
