Exactly my point. See the post I was responding to.

That, and the fact that he will have earned it, even with only nine games. No other Canadian player did as much as him.

Cut down on the booze and cocaine.

Without 4 dropped TD passes we lose the home game against them.

That would mean we are in a one year Grey Cup drought if we go by “hoisting”.

Club had a day off today before travelling to LA, so no practice session to check in on him.

Maybe in the liver? Maybe in the kidneys? Maybe even in the colon?

My favorite performance in “The Gentleman”, and there were more than a few to pick from in that movie.

Hmmm… any chance Demski doesn’t play this week?

This is not unusual for the Grey Cup to be late with this. Last year the announcement came a month out. And in 2015 the Bomber (crap show I guess?) announcement came only 26 days before the game, and I didn’t even hear it. Still a bad look.

We’ve had our share of low crowds when things were on a downturn here. From 1997-1999 we had a ton of no-shows, and barely averaged 20,000 paid attendance a game even with half price or giveaway tickets to paper the house. Actual in-stadium numbers were lower. Had almost a dozen games under 20,000 with a low of 15,000 in 1999. We’ve even had low crowds with a competitive team. Hosted a playoff game in 2003 with only 22,000 in the stands, and the infamous 12,210 home playoff game in 1988 when the fans stayed away en masse because the team lost 3 straight going into the playoffs that year. Then they got hot and won the Grey Cup, and all kinds of fans twisted ankles jumping back on the bandwagon. They even made T-shirts saying “I was 1 of the 12,210” to honour the diehards who did show up at that game. They sold 50,000 of them. Even as recently as our current dynasty, we’ve had the odd low crowd in the new barn. Had only 20,900 show up for a late season game in 2019, had 3 games under 23,000 last year, and 23,500 this year for A Grey Cup re-match. Bottom line, we have a solid fan base and are riding likely the greatest run of success the league has seen in over 40 years, and we still see some empty seats, should we shouldn’t feel too superior. If we lost 17 in a row, I guarantee we’d see a lot of empty seats, based on the 1990’s precedent. Let’s just enjoy the ride for now.

Racing dogs!

The first full 60 minute performance of the year

Can’t rely on just homers to win games. Those strikeout totals against them were ridiculous.

With only one game to go, there is no point in bringing in a different voice to put together a new game plan. One week early won’t send any stronger message than a firing the day after the season ends in Sask.

Wonder if Prukop will get a half?

You’re a fat loser and you have offensive body odour. Oh wait, you were talking about the team’s injury list? Sorry, was watching School of Rock.

No job is worth your health. This guy was retired at the end of last year. He is a short-term fix. Maybe reach out to Trotz again, or let Arniel just run the club.

Those bitter Yankee tears are delicious. Fundamentally flawed blueprint for a team.

They used to play multi-game series in the playoffs to get to the Grey Cup, so I’m guessing they did not need to have a winner in every single game, just worried about the total points outcome.

Zach Collaros would fail on this Rider team.

Fajardo is not the problem in Saskatchewan.

Next time Toronto takes a penalty, the Jets should decline it. Zone entry is awful, passes off most of the night.
