    why do you keep ignoring the point that the very first season that MOS has had good depth he looks like a pretty damned good coach? Do you honestly believe that if Dickenson didn't inherit an already very good and very deep team that he still would have won as many games as he has? MOS with enough talent is a good coach, one of the best in the CFL this year, when he didn't have the required talent he didn't win a lot, but spoiler alert, when coaches don't have enough talent on their teams they don't win either. Did Scott Milanovich get stupid this year or does he just not have the talent anymore? 

     

    What happened to the term that was being thrown around....oh yeah..."Quarterback Whisperer"... Man, that had a nice ring to it.

    Walters has been with the club for 6 years,  I'm pretty sure they know what they are getting with him.    

    O'Shea...  I am not afraid of signing him long term since the team has been extremely disciplined and for the most part they always seem prepared and focused on playing football.    I have no problem signing him long term.

    Now Hall and LaPo.... those guys I still am not sold on... 

    Re-up coordinators as you like. If they prove to be that good at their job, each would be considered for future head coaching positions regardless of their contract. As such, I'm pretty sure that the team wouldn't/couldn't stand in the way of their advancement. No reasonable coordinators salary would match their goal of helming their own team.

     

     

  3. I don't know if they shouldn't continue with the "one inductee per home game" next year as well; just so that we can have a nice base of 18 before moving to one annual entry.

    We are pretty late to the dance in (ring of honour type awards) compared to other teams, and if you only bring on one per year after 2016, it will seem pretty scant for a long time. Many of us could easily come up with another 9 inductees with close to the same cachet as this year's inaugural members in order to flesh out the group of 18.

    Thanks for the update Sling ........ BTW is your moniker in tribute to Cal's son-in-law Samuel Mayorga Garza Jr.?

    Por supuesto es usted perro. ¿Cuántos otros Sammys Slingin ¿te parece que hay en esta ciudad? El nuestro es un gigante entre los hombres y un verdadero testimonio del compromiso de que sólo un cartel valorado de su estatura podría proporcionar.

  5. By CFL standards, recent developments are huge as far as mid season trades go. However, I seem to remember another blockbuster between Wpg and T.O from 1980 or so. 

    All I can recall is that we got Nick Bastaja and maybe another O-lineman, but I can't find record of who we gave up....just a vague recollection that we made out like bandits and that there may have been a QB involved.

    Do any of you grey-beards remember this?

    Remember that game so well. My friend & I had a couple of pre game beers with some Als fans in a bar before the game that we met. Even back then, there were very few Montreal Alouettes fans across the country. They're a rare sighting now & then. We destroyed the Als that day.

    Good old Nelson "It's not like I raped a nun." Skalbania....one of the more colourful members of the CFL ownership rogues gallery. He signed the big-name NFL guys to varying degrees of success....then eventually folded the team.

    Als have always loved the names.

    ...Although Johnny Rodgers was legit for them in the '70s
