So he's a non-ginger Paul Friesen.

I've never taken that route but from looking at the Google satellite map it does look rather desolate. yes well it is very unpopulated with obese crack-smoking mayors, so I can see why a Toronto sportswriter would feel lost...

and here we go with the Toronto media comments - these Eastern guys just can't help themselves I guess.... steve simmons ‏@simmonssteve31s There is just one word I can think of for the drive from the airport, past Mosaic Stadium to downtown Regina. The word: desolate.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!! If I hadn't met him, I'd think that Bluto could be Rob Ford.... I mean how many other Argo fans are there in Toronto?

well this thread seems to have been over-taken by a lot of negativity! I for one look forward to this day all year so I'm going to stay positive and just enjoy the game. Here's a positive story: http://www.900chml.com/2013/11/19/6806/ Good on the Ti-Cat fans for sending off their heroes in style. They haven't had a Grey Cup game in 14 years, while we've had 3. So they're pretty hungry. That turn-out for the fare-well send off of the team looks bigger than Toronto had for the Grey Cup parade. At least these people know why they are there and what sport the people they are cheering for play.

I wish there was a way we could bring DR back for one more kick at the can.

I never thought that Huffer would part with his heir-apparent.

If he never opened his mouth.......ever...... ''Nobody touches the Quarterback but me'' ''The Shotgun formation is for Pee-wee football'' that's the absolute tender side of what he said. All the embarrassing things he did/said both publicly and, apparently, in the room to the players.......God almighty. What a sad state ever since Berry's time... Watching Rob Ford's antics these past few weeks has brought back all of the Mike Kelly memories. You never knew what stupid thing was going to happen next, or what idiotic thing Kelly was going to say or do. Just a complete clown-show.

he works in sales for Ourbombers? Talk about a thankless job. Every sales pitch would just get vetoed by Shankman.

yeah - more like who lost in the Stanley Cup finals in 2011. Who cares about those bums.

In fairness, it's a pretty fun place. Just don't tell 'em where you're from... and this goes without saying in any bar in Saskatchewan, if you drop change on the floor, leave it there. Bending over is not an option.

Isn't there some kind of program where you can "stay with a family" or something? Bluto was really enthused about that.

See if you can take a collection up to put a roof on Mosaic on Sunday. If Hank has to play in cold weather it's going to be a tough one. I do hope he surprises me though. It would be good for league to see the Cats win.

is anyone here going to the GC? I hear Regina puts on a great party. I don't expect most Sask. people to be sober much past Wednesday at noon. Especially with the Riders being in the Cup this year. I will be cheering for the Green and White, as I can't stand Burris or Austin, and it would be good to see Bob Dyce, Khari, and Brendan Taman get a ring. Also good to see Geroy get another ring, he's a class guy.

it will be three years in a row. Remember the 2011 Grey Cup?

Two for two. Now let's watch Hank tank in the cold and I'll be 3 for 3.

Hamilton lucked out that the game was indoors. I fully expect Bad Hank to stink it up next week in the Arctic cold of Regina.

Plus being out of football for almost two years, and being almost 40, he'd be pretty awful....

1 for 1 so far. Now let's see if Kevie does his usual choke and the Riders walk in to the GC....

Sorry Bluto, it's just not Toronto's year this year...

wow those Hamilton fans are loud!

Bluto - what section is Rob Ford sitting in?

I see Hamilton winning the EF, in a squeaker, but only because the game is indoors so Burris will actually try, and put in a decent effort. Without McCune, and Burris having his head in the game, the Ti-Cat offense can be lethal, so it really will about the Ti-Cats being able to stop Ricky Ray. Same can't be said for Burris' fellow fair-weather QB, Kevin Glenn. According to Google, it's -16C in Calgary at the moment, which means that KG is going to give it his usual half-hearted try for a few series and then pack it in. If I was Huffer, I'd have Mr. Fairweather on a short lease, and have BLM and Nutjob ready to go ASAP. If they stick with Glenn, then the game is already over. So I am calling - Hamilton/Sask GC, and Sask victory, as Burris just gives up trying to do anything in the -20C wind chill by half time. If this GC had been indoors, then I'd have picked Hamilton to win it. http://www.examiner.com/article/stampeders-to-start-glenn-western-final
