“Ten with Ken” returns for its 8th season with a special double episode distilling the best moments from literally hours of welcome back, orientation, move-in and kick-off videos, from more than 100 colleges and universities. Students overcome their anxieties and homesickness by celebrating, dancing, screaming and clinging to their stuffed animals and favourite comfort foods. They're distracted by concerts, midway rides, marching bands, fireworks, confetti cannons, and so much more. Some schools play games too, staging their own versions of “Cash Cab,” “Undercover Boss,” or “Roommate Match.” While the post-pandemic Class of 2028 is anxious, so too are campus administrators, still smarting from heated protests and campus occupations this spring. Their Fall welcome videos overtly urge tolerance for diverse viewpoints and a culture of respect on campus. Incoming first-years are asked to share words of advice for their future selves, while senior students and new graduates share their own advice for the incoming class of 2028. A sense of community is quickly established with matching t-shirts, massive logo formations on the football field, running the gauntlet and plunging in to the mud. From “BamaJam” to “GobblerFest,” campuses are working hard to amp up the enthusiasm of students returning to campus this month. (As so many student put it: “Whoooooo!”) The 125 videos (and counting) considered or clipped in this special are listed in our complete Back-to-School 2024 YouTube playlist here. In particular, Ken has chosen 10 “Ken's Picks” as the best in class this Fall: Duke University “Class of 2028 Class Photo Behind-the-Scenes” Princeton University “Dear Students, Welcome Back to Princeton!” University of Oregon “Duckflix: Quack Match” University of Virginia “It's Joyful. It's Bittersweet. It's Move-in Day.” Michigan State University “Advice for Incoming Spartans” University of Guelph “Welcome Back, Gryphons!” College of William & Mary “Let's Write a New Story: Move-in 2024” University of Michigan “Welcome Back 2024: Movin' through Campus” Stevens Institute of Technology “Unpack the Quack: Welcome Class of 2028!” Rochester Institute of Technology “The Wonderful Wizard of RIT” (definitely the best of the whole pack!) Enjoy!

The legendary hybrid creature known as the gryphon was said to have the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. Despite this fantastical descriptions the ancient Greeks and Romans truly seemed to have believed that gryphons were real animals. It was thought that gryphons lived in arid steppes and deserts of central Asia where they guarded stashes of gold. Stories of gryphons made their way to Mediterranean by way of the nomadic Scythian people, who hunted for gold in the gryphon's homeland. Stanford Professor Adrienne Mayor thinks she may have solved the mystery of this puzzling creature. Could the gryphon stories be an early form of paleontology? Tune-in and find out how giant hoaxes, paleo-art, and one eyed gold hunters all play a role in the story.

For Episode 30 of Gryph Nation Radio, we are thrilled to be joined by author Jael Richardson. Jael is a proud U of G alum and a former Gryphon student-athlete who played four seasons with our Gryphons women's soccer team (1999-2002). While pursuing her undergraduate degree from the University of Guelph in theatre studies, Jael discovered her love for writing, leading her to the University of Guelph-Humber where she completed her Masters of Fine Arts in creative writing. Since obtaining her undergrad and Masters from U of G, Jael has gone on to establish herself as one of the most important figures in Canadian literature. In 2012, Jael authored, The Stone Thrower: A Daughter's Lesson, a Father's Life, a memoir about her father, Chuck Ealey, and his coming of age in small-town Ohio during the U.S. civil rights era. The memoir also dives into Chuck Ealey's impressive tenure as a quarterback in the CFL, where he would go on to become the first black quarterback to win the Grey Cup (1972 with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats). Jael's memoir was published to critical acclaim and later adapted into a picture book. Next up for Jael was the creation of a one-of-a-kind literary festival in her hometown of Brampton. She is the founder and executive director of F.O.L.D. (the festival of literary diversity) with the first festival taking place in May of 2016. It is the first literary festival devoted to celebrating underrepresented authors and storytellers. Jael has been at the forefront of actively promoting authors from marginalized communities, while advocating for greater inclusion within the publishing industry.And last, but certainly not least, is the arrival of Jael's debut novel, Gutter Child, which released in late January of 2021. Published by HarperCollins Canada, Gutter Child has been met with rave reviews from national media outlets across the country, including the Globe & Mail and the Toronto Star.Our conversation with Jael explores her days as a Gryphon student-athlete, while also diving into her literary career and of course her debut novel, Gutter Child.
For Episode 29 of our Gryph Nation Radio podcast, we catch up with a pair of proud Gryphon alumni who, following their days as student-athletes at the University of Guelph, have gone on to earn the coveted titles of Canadian Olympians. With Thursday, February 4 marking exactly one year away from the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing, we thought it would be the perfect time to catch up with Mirela Rahneva (Canadian Olympian in the women's skeleton in PyeongChang, 2018) and Cody Sorensen (Canadian Olympian in the men's 4-man bobsleigh, Sochi 2014).Mirela "Mimi" Rahneva played four seasons with the Gryphons women's rugby from 2007 to 2010. During her time as a Gryphon, Mimi was a three-time OUA champion and four-time CIS bronze medalist while studying tourism management. Following her graduation, Mimi made a seamless transition from the rugby pitch to the sled, where she has gone on to become a fixture on the international circuit for skeleton. Mimi currently has her sights set on Beijing 2022 where she hopes to earn the title of two-time Olympian.Ottawa native Cody Sorensen attended the University of Guelph from 2004 to 2008, competing on the Gryphons men's track and field team. During his days as a Gryphon student-athlete, Cody was a three-time national medalist in the men's 60m hurdles, and was a key part of an unforgettable 2007-08 season when the Guelph Gryphons were crowned national champions for the first time in program history (on both the men's and women's sides). After earning his undergrad from U of G in management economics and finance, Cody would move from the track to bobsleigh after turning heads at an open identifiction camp held by Bobsleigh Canada at York University. After serving as an alternate at the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, Cody would officially earn the title of Olympian at the 2014 Games in Sochi where he represented Canada in the four-man bobleigh alongside Justin Kripps, Jesse Lumsden and Ben Coakwell.
For Episode 28 of Gryph Nation Radio, we are joined by three members of our Gryphon familly to chat all things mental health as part of Bell Let's Talk Day 2021. Our conversation focuses primarily around the student-athlete perspective, with Shyvonne Roxborough (Gryphons women's track & field) and Darian Hirst (Gryphons men's rugby) sharing some important insights regarding their experiences as current U of G varsity athletes. Also joining us for Episode 28 is special guest, Carrie Charles. For the past 10 years, Carrie has worked within U of G's Counselling Services, and since 2018, has served as the point person for varsity athletics when it comes to servicing mental health issues. Carrie is a registered psychotherapist from the Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals and is also a proud Gryphon, with the Guelph native having spent four seasons competing on the U of G women's rugby while pursuing her undergrad in psychology. In Carrie's senior season as a Gryphon in 1998, she was part of the first ever national title in program history for the Gryphons women's rugby team. In our conversation with Carrie, Shyvonne and Darian, we discuss the importance of addressing mental health issues and explore the role mental health has played in their athletics, academics as well as their personal and social lives.
#58 Daniel Andersson - En Byggsten by Gryphons
For our first episode of 2021, we are dipping into our favourite reoccurring segment on Gryph Nation Radio with our latest edition of “Champions Corner." For each "Champions Corner" episode, we do a little blast-to-the-past to catch up with former Gryphon student-athletes who helped secure some of the greatest championship moments in U of G history. To this day, the Guelph Gryphons have been crowned national champions in football just once in program history. The year was 1984. The Gryphons put together an unforgettable playoff run, culminating with a 22-13 victory over the Mount Allison Mounties on Nov. 24, 1984 in the Vanier Cup, which was played at Varsity Stadium in Toronto in front of nearly 20,000 fans!Joining us for Episode 27 are a pair of proud Gryphon alum from the '84 Gryphon football squad, who had front row seats to watch the Gryphon fans storm the field and tear down the uprights at Varsity Stadium on that cold, November day. From the offensive side of the ball, we have Jed Tommy joining us! Jed wore No. 23 for the Gryphons and was the team's bruising fullback who was named Team MVP of the '84 team. Jed suited up for the Gryphons from 1981-1984 and was inducted into the Gryphon Hall of Fame in 2004. After his playing days as a Gryphon, Jed went on to put together an outstanding CFL career which included earning the title of Grey Cup champion with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 1986. Also joining us is Pat Tracey, who was a starting cornerback on the Gryphons 1984 Vanier Cup-winning team. Pat played football for the Gryphons from 1982-1986, serving as a key piece of a loaded Gryphon defence. Following his football playing days at the University of Guelph, Pat Tracey went on to put together one of the most decorated and respected collegiate coaching careers in our country, with over 30 years of coaching experience in Canadian university football. Pat's coaching career started at his alma mater, where he was actually part of two more Yates Cup championships with the Gryphons in 92 and 96. He was at Queen's University from 2000-to-2013 (and was defensive coordinator of the Gaels 2009 Vanier Cup team) and currently serves as defensive coordinator out west with the UBC Thunderbirds. Pat Tracey's impressive coaching resume also includes a pair of stops in the pro ranks, with the former Gryphon coaching with the Ticats in 1998 as well as with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers from 2014-15.Jed and Pat share some vivid memories from the Gryphons run to the 1984 Vanier Cup, with the full episode available on Thursday, Jan. 7 across all major podcast platforms.

John Rush is a vegan professional athlete, Grey Cup Champion, and chef/blogger at Rescue Dog Kitchen; 50% of proceeds from recipes, ads and merchandise go to dog rescues. John joins Eric to chat about football being his sole focus for so long, and only recently benefiting from multiple senses of purpose. The two reflect on the Bombers' Grey Cup Championship, the parade, and why the CFL was one of few professional leagues to not create some resemblance of a season this year. John explains why he decided to go vegan, and Eric asks if his teammates razz him for being vegan, and/or his blog. Finally, John shares resources for how he found his two dogs, Bone and Bailey, and why we should consider adopting, not shopping.Guest Instagram: @johnrush5 | @rescuedogkitchenPodcast Instagram: @thepassionprojpodIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts :)
