CANADIAN MIGRATION WATCH
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Which former college hero moving to a football-like ogan-i-zation north of the border?
This week, it's one-time Georgia star and former SMQ Madden 2003 record-breaker Quincy Carter, who is taking the opportunity to do what he loves best ("which is to play football," or something strongly resembling it) with the Montreal Alouettes. He'll report to camp in May.
No word on whether Carter will engage in the dangerous but potentially rewarding venture of challenging Utah State grad and Quebec native Anthony Calvillo - who once passed for 6,000 yards in one season - for the Alouttes' starting quarterback job.
Other former notables drawing paychecks from Montreal:
• One-time West Virginia waterbug Avon Cobourne, depicted for some reason on his player page as scowling cartoon fowl rather than a human being;

West Virginia career rushing leader Avon Cobourne
- Boise State gunslinger Ryan Dinwiddie, the "best quarterback in Boise State Broncos' history, but only practice squad fodder for the Alouettes after a failed stint with the Bears and the Hamburg Sea Devils;
- Gator-killing kicker Damon Duvall, league scoring leader and still hitting 'em in the clutch: his field goal with no time on the clock forced overtime in the Grey Cup.
- The brother combo of ex-Georgia stars Robert and Terrence Edwards, who marked a team first by scoring a touchdown apiece on Sept. 2;
- Former all-PAC Ten cornerback Kelly Malveaux of Arizona, a 2004 East Division All-Star pick;
- Ex-USC blazer and underachiever Sultan McCullough, a recent free agent;
- Former all-C-USA Southern Miss defensive tackle John Nix, fairly productive in his first season;
- One-time K-State Heisman hopeful Ell Roberson, yet to show his athletic ability on the 110-yard turf;
- Standout Iowa linebacker Grant Steen, who, we are helpfully reminded, played in all four preseason games last season;
- Ex-Georgia Tech all-ACC wide out Kerry Watkins, catcher of four CFL passes.
Almost none of whom, it should be noted, are making much of a contribution. Carter, we should hope, will represent the States' superior brand of the game with more success.

And don't let the name fool ya - second guessing the phenomenal athletic feats and split-second decisions of college kids under extreme physical duress is for every day of the week.

How much football does he watch? Dude's got insights on -everybody-, and by everybody, I mean everybody. Throw in some of the best writing in the blogosphere, and we're talking about a daily must-read.
- Burnt Orange Nation
SMQ starts to sound more and more like the Gregg Easterbrook of our ideal memories every day - whip-smart, systematic, omnivorous in his intellectual tastes and yet unafraid of the cheap joke.
- Every Day Should Be Saturday
Sunday Morning Quarterback is one of our favorite football blogs on the internet.
- State Fans Nation
Sunday Morning Quarterback is a killer football blog if you are a college football junkie.

- Bruins Nation
Just another hack writer who hasn't done one lick of research...
- SOT2
...the pride of Southern Mississippi ever since Brett Favre turned into an ESPN soap opera, has the sort of prose knack that can keep you riveted to a preview about any one of D-IA's scrubbier members ... should be given gifts.
