Thought I would start a thread, three hours and twenty minutes until kickoff. Looking forward to seeing Bo Levi Mitchell play.

Bo certainly has much to prove.
I don’t think he would have finished training camp if he thought he did not have it left in him anymore. He would have retired.
He is here to play and play at a very high level.

Agreed.
If this game doesn’t get Bo to wake up and play to his potential, nothing will. His return to Calgary, after a dismal season - all has to be put on the line!

Should be a great game! Wish it wasn’t so late lol
I should be able to catch most of it while at work tonight.
To some extent, I agree. Regardless of whether Hamilton wins or loses the game, you have to think BLM is fired up to prove his detractors wrong and flash his old championship form against his former team.

I’ll start it. Can’t promise I can stay up for the finish.
The defensive plan tonight for the horsies is to put 9 DBs on the field and rush three DLs, bo don’t run, eventually one of those three will get to him…

Or eventually he’ll find an open receiver? I get what you’re saying, though – probably Monson will rush 4 and drop guys back into coverage.

Agreed. I wouldn’t even overly worry about whether Hamilton wins although I’m sure you would like to see that as would anyone. There are more players than just Bo that will have an effect on the outcome.
I’m looking to see if Bo is sharp and makes good decisions and doesn’t throw a basket full of interceptions and maybe above all, stays healthy. That should give Ticat fans hope.

This point on strategy reminds me of an interview on ESPN once after Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor was retired. Ron “Jaws” Jaworski, who had played quarterback for the Eagles, was interviewing him with another guy on ESPN.
At one point in the interview, Taylor was asked about when his Giants played Jaws’ Eagles, and Taylor responded,
“Oh I always liked when we got to play Jaws, because then I knew I would not have to run very far.”
And so maybe the Calgary linemen are already excited too?

Tad more nuanced than that but yea that’s the basics. Otherwise you and I would be head coaches somewhere making the big bucks and bigger acolades

What an embarrassing panel.
These guys need to focus on the game at hand.

It’s much better this year in its use of ad time, but they have not filled it all yet with ads.
It’s still much better than that avant garde film school experiment they ran in the debut season in 2023 in black-and-white with the annoying music.

No chip in that ball.
Not one kick last night looked like that.
