November 2, 201411 yr Which team do you cheer for after the Bombers? Vote and let us know why. I voted for the Edmonton Eskimos. Was a big Warren Moon fan and quite frankly it's been a team that we've just never developed a natural hate for. Unlike the Riders and the Argos.
November 2, 201411 yr Just about everyone here knows I cheer for the Stamps as my second team. Reason? I've lived in Calgary since 1990 so i think it's the thing to do. I've coached football with a number of former Stamps. I spent an entire day of training camp in 2002 with the Stamps as a guest of the team & had lunch with them. Hung out with the coaches. sat in on a defensive meeting & out on the field on the sidelines with the players that day for both practices. Players treated me like I was one of their own. Lot of kibitzing & kidding around on the sidelines. Met Wally Buono that day as well as former Stamps prez Stan Schwartz who didn't seem to like me being there. Especially for lunch as he seemed to be counting pennies & I was an unnecessary expense in his mind. Greg Peterson the former safety with the Stamps kind've told him to chill & that was the end of it. Greg whispered to me that he's in big trouble now with Stan but not to worry about it. Guess Greg went ahead & set things up thru Wally but no one told Schwartz & he wasn't impressed. Bit of tension between Greg & Stan that day. I appreciated everything Greg did for me including sticking his neck out for me. But the Blue & Gold blood is still in my veins. Always will be.
November 2, 201411 yr Not a single one. **** everyone but the Bombers for different reasons. What he said.
November 2, 201411 yr Edmonton, only cause i'm a huge Mike Reilly fan, Adarius Bowman, Fred Stamps and Odell Willis fan.
November 2, 201411 yr Ottawa. I lived there for the final two years of the Rough Riders, had season tix both years. The Riders were 3-15 both years. Some great fans there, the parties after our rare victories were amazing.
November 2, 201411 yr To-cats. They have a long history with some real colourful players like Angelo Mosca, and John Barrow. They took pleasure in losing all those Grey Cups to the Bombers in the Grant Ploen era. This club knows how to be humble because they sure have stunk at times.
November 2, 201411 yr The Bombers have moved between divisions too much I simply have a deep dislike for every other team. Once the Bombers are out I will hope for one team or another simply based on which team offends me least or if there's a team that has people I at least respect. Or if they're playing a team I truly despise. This year I suppose I'll root for the Stamps just because go local sports team... but I just want to watch good football in the playoffs.
November 2, 201411 yr I've always secretly rooted for Edmonton. Was a big fan of Ricky Ray and cheered for Edmonton over Montreal in all of the Greys Cups they got matched up in during the 2000s. Now Reilly has won me over as well.
November 2, 201411 yr I'm going with BC, probably because I'm out here and hear a lot more about them than any other team. Also, I'm a fan of Wally Buono. Followed his career since his days in Calgary.
November 2, 201411 yr I'd like to see the Lions win this year so Glenn can get a Cup. Funniest scenario would be the Als winning, after they and their coach were such a joke at the start of the season.
November 2, 201411 yr For any championship I always root for the team that has gone the longest without winning so if i had to pick one id pick Ottawa.
November 2, 201411 yr none of them but i will watch the playoffs and in the grey cup game, I'll cheer for the team who hasn't won recently. However, if it's Edmonton vs Hamilton, I might not watch cuz those 2 teams along with the ALS are the teams i can't stand the most.
November 3, 201411 yr I'd say Lions because I have a bunch of friends and family who are Lions fan, and it's the city I've seen the most games outside of Winnipeg! We've had a history of trading players with them, and like someone else said, would like to see Glenn get a cup! Always felt bad about how Kelly ran him out of town, even when he was our best option! Harris is from here too! Really though, so long as the Riders lose, I don't care who wins the cup!
November 3, 201411 yr Not a single one. **** everyone but the Bombers for different reasons.What he said. What they said.
November 3, 201411 yr I would say the Riders for obvious reasons, but this really is a poll for second favourite team, which for me would probably be Toronto. Not going to vote yet though.
November 3, 201411 yr I don't have a second favourite team. If I cheer for another team when the Bombers aren't playing, I base it on what would be the best result for the Bombers and/or which team I dislike the least.
November 3, 201411 yr I would say Calgary... my dad was from Cgy and he used to cheer for them when the Bombers were out...So I'll cheer for them when the Bombers are out too... but trust me, as soon as they line up against the Blue and Gold... this "second favourite" business goes far out the window!
