I thought they still used a larger sized ball, but could be wrong. Here is what the official CFL rule book says about ball-size:
"The game is played with a ball made of Horween Red leather in four panels which shall be inflated to a pressure not less than 12 1/2 psi nor greater than 13 1/2 psi. The circumference of the long axis shall be not less than 27 3/4 inches nor greater than 28 1/4 inches. The circumference of the girth or short axis shall be not less than 20 7/8 inches nor greater than 21 1/8 inches. The length of the long axis shall be not less than 11 inches nor greater than 11 1/4 inches. The total weight of the ball shall not be less than 14 ounces nor greater than 15 ounces. The exposed laces shall be not more than 4 3/8 inches in length and 1 1/8 inches in width.
The ball shall be painted with 1-inch white stripes around the short axis commencing 3 inches away from the point of greatest circumference of the short axis.
A minimum of seven balls shall be used in a game and changed at the discretion of the Referee. The balls shall be kept clean and in playable condition.
The official football for a Canadian Football League game shall be the Wilson CFL Official Game Ball, which shall be inscribed with the signature of the Commissioner."
If anyone has an offical NFL ball, drag out the measuring tape.
Oh, and Bren, doesn't look hopeful for the snow dissapearing. It isn't supposed to get much warmer than 2 degrees over the next 3 or 4 days. We've got a foot of snow, so when I do the math, you'd better bring your snow boots!
