  1. The Riders will have to promote "Dress Like an Empty Green Seat Night" for future games. It obviously makes the opposing team suck. I really hate rooting for them so much that I'm not doing so, just rooting against BC.
  2. 1. Brady, hard-nosed running. 2. Wilson, nose for the ball 3. Houston, won the game Considered Brown, for not LOSING the game and Castillo, for not being Leggs
  3. To my knowledge, they've not signed another QB. That's good news. Perhaps Zach will dress as the emergency pivot.
  4. I'm sure that Strev has made more money flirting with the NFL, but it may have cost him an opportunity to have a long and successful CFL career. Presuming his fiery competiveness, though, it's easy to see how he would take the road he chose, and I doubt if he regrets it.
  5. I have to wonder. It seemed like he didn't make much of an effort to walk it off, and normally they just tape you up, sending you back in. Zach's injury last year seemed much worse, but he did everything he could before bowing out.
  6. What highlights? I didn't see no stinking highlights. 🤣
  7. Most cables don't have CBSSN, either. Not only that, but CBS took the Bomber game off at half on Saturday and put on soccer. I had to register online and scour the network site for the stream. It had every team and league listed except the CFL. CBS is worse than ESPNBA-so much for building viewership down here. Maybe CFL+ will work out.
  8. This post and along with the week's "Battle of Steubenville" contest (Collaros vs Najee Murray) brings to mind a sad story of another Steuby grad with Canadian experience, Calvin Jones. Cal was an All-State, All-American 1955 Outland Trophy winner with the Iowa Hawkeyes. When the Winnipeg Blue Bombers offered him MORE money than the NFL, he went north. Calvin had a good year and made the league all-star team. He slept in and missed his morning flight home, taking a later plane. It crashed leaving no survivors. Jones is celebrated in his home town with a monument outside venerable (1933) Harding Stadium. His storied rival in college was Ohio State's Jim Parker who went on to a HOF career with the Baltimore Colts. Cal was the first African-American to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine, and his number is one of only two to be retired at Iowa, the other being that of legendary Nile Kinnick. Steubenville kids all know his story and are inspired to this day.
  9. Interesting update - I'm watching the Riders and the USFL playoff game at the same time. Garrett Marino just got called for a personal foul for the Michigan Panthers.
  10. I saw Kelly play for Buffalo St. Joe against Steubenville High School. His team lost, and he had several tantrums. You could see the talent, but the attitude was terrible. He.took a lot of hits that night.
  11. Also, keep in mind that they ran the ball on first down for most of the second half against Hamilton and most of the fourth this week. If pressed, the passing yardage could have been off the charts.
  12. BC 3 Stars: 1. Chris Jones 2. Taylor Cornelius 3. Chris Jones All CJ cares about is defence. Just ask Zach.
  13. Thanks. I've been watching since 2012 so I know Ricky Ray doesn't come along every day. And Lincoln's Secretary of War, Edwin M Stanton.
  14. Greetings from the home town of ZC. I saw Zach throw a TD pass when he was in 7th grade, and have been a fan since. I'm a retired history teacher who, at this point, kinda lives vicariously through him. I've been a Boatman fan, a TC adherent, and am a HUGE Bomber fan. I simply watched his Sasky games - there's just something about that place.. I have enjoyed watching CFL contests since 2012. The rules are better than the NFL. I was terrified this past off-season when "four downs" was mentioned - NO WAY!
