2015 TD MB we happened to run into Osh and have a chat and that lifelong Elkskimo/TiCat/Argo won me over. I'm obviously a frothing at the mouth RABID fan of the "Grand Ol Loop" (tm Our Man Tait), and it's rare to meet people with that much passion and knowledge of this league and it's history. Osh is a kindred spirit for me, for sure. If this is the end, I'm hoping to run into him again this week for a chat and a beer.... Thank him for everything.

It's completely this. He has earned the opportunity to choose his own destiny. Everyone around the league knows he's the absolute top option in the CFL, and would give him whatever the hell he wants. I'm just not sure Toronto can offer him anything that we can't, aside from "physically closer to North Bay"... So it's a matter of where he wants to live at this point. We can offer the same money... The same freedom to do what he wants... Does he want a new challenge? Does he want continuity? Is Walters planning on staying and they want to keep this thing going, or does Walters situation (staying or going) have some impact on Osh's decision? I am curious what Wade's take on all this is. Maybe Wade comes in and says "a bunch of **** needs to change around here" and Pinball says "You are free to do whatever you want..." And THAT'S the clincher?? Time will tell...

Overall thoughts on the Argos current and future coaching situation?

Oh it absolutely touched the ground but the arm was under it and he had control, more or less... I'm not incensed about the call by any means.... And that says a lot, coming from me...

Would be the second worst option next only to Dyce...

💯... Anything is going to be a downgrade for sure. But we have to be prepared for that... And pray for the best.

Fyp.

That seems right... So that would be another week from today. So if they wanted to talk to him THIS week, they needed to ask permission... Or else wait until next week. But let's be honest... Rules or no, O'Shea and Pinball are old friends who both are likely to be hanging out this week during GC week. Conversations are going to happen, regardless. But Pinball being Pinball, is going to take the high road and keep up appearances...

Not 100% on the rules but Naylor said on TSN on Saturday "One team can't officially ask for permission until one week after the other team has been eliminated".

Argos have officially asked for (and received) permission to talk to Mike O'Shea, according to Naylor...

So what's Alexander doing all this week to prepare? Is it just living in the ice bath? There's nothing they can do in terms of medications right? It's not like you can shoot a guy up with all kinds of drugs (a la Dunigan in 1991)...

Winnipeg/Eastman is a lot more like North Bay than Toronto, for sure. Not sure if that plays into it, but just saying....

I said something similar while watching the game. Hamilton is, in a way, easier to defend, because you know Lawler is the primary option on every play...

God I hope so.....

Ehhhh that seems like such a loser Manitoban thing to do... Selling your tickets. I don't wanna be the world's biggest Alouettes fan, but I will be next weekend. Will be great to have one last game day experience at the barn. Looking forward to the pre game tailgate as always and celebrating this amazing league one last time before they **** everything up with shitty rules changes. Vive Les Alouettes!!

It's like -10 with the windchill.... That's a fall day. Call me when it's -40 and we'll talk about it being cold. Bunch of ******* in Regina...

****** eh... Little bit of anti freeze will fix the cold.

These ******* ***** Lions receivers.... Catch the ******* ball!

You watch Alexander run and/or throw at any given moment ... How could you not want this guy leading your team?

Only other one Naylor mentioned was Steinauer coming outta the C-Suite and back to coaching... That was the "3rd option" after MOS and Austin, according to Naylor during this pre game show...

I am seriously missing something about Alexander... (Maybe that says something about me...??) What is he doing that people are getting mad about?

Said that Austin has one year left on his contract but his HC got tossed recently, so they think he might be coming free ..

I don't follow your logic that the guy chirping Simoni is a ******.....
