I wouldn't mind seeing Hamilton winning on the "worst to first" theme.

 

On te other hand if the Riders win the cup, it will be two years in a row that the host city also won the thing .... a major statistical anomaly relative to history

So he's telling us that a city 25x smaller than Toronto is more sparsely populated? I'm shocked. Did he not realize that sports are played in cities smaller than Canada's largest city?

 

That said, Regina sucks.

Talk about something being overblown. He said the drive from the airport was desolate, not the the city.

Its seems like just yesterday Kent Austin was our QB and bomber fans cheered when he got injured and knocked out of the game.... now he's coaching in the GC... sniff.

Whatever!!!  Winnipeg has way more desolate drives than Regina..!  The arrogance of Simmons is infuriating.

I agree he's an arrogant jackass but that doesn't mean his tweet isn't being overblown.

It's funny people are upset about it since I'm pretty sure we've all said worse about Regina.

Regina is a fairly ugly city and to be honest shouldn't be hosting the Grey Cup. When you lack the hotels to put on a major event and people have to room with people in their homes or stay an hour away, you shouldn't be the host. When you lack the eating establishments, see above. When you don't have enough taxis, well you know where I'm going with this.

ok well despite Steve Simmons' comments, is anyone here actually going to the Grey Cup this year? 

I am but I live here so I have places for buddies from out of town to stay. Taxi's are going to be the worst at least people at hotels will have free shuttles.

Well then - dress warm!

A wise man once said, the best way to describe Regina is a fart in a phone booth.

HAM DE Brandon Boudreaux when asked about breaking curfew....

 

"From what I understand there are no distractions in Regina becaue there is nothing to there whatsoever."

And especially when the host c ity plays their games in a toilet not a stadium. Why the CFL couldn't have waited at least until their new stadium was built is beyond me.

Thank god we didn't build this thing.

With the Riders hosting their Grey Cup game I can't wait for it to be over so we can finally get down to the business of hiring a GM & HC as well as move on to signing a FA qb like Zack Collaros. I'm not sold on Drew Willy as I haven't seen enough of him as Durant plays nearly 100% of all the games & I'm thinking he'll sign with us if KJ is our HC. I really want us to sign Collaros as our first choice & stop at nothing to get him here.
