This was recently posted on the CFL.ca website, under the "By The Numbers" column. Some very impressive Grey Cup stats and records for The Mighty Edmonton Eskimos from The City of Champions.
I started to become jealous of them too, until I remembered that I'm a fan, :lol: :lol: :lol: . But, I certainly do understand how fans of all other teams are insanely jealous towards The Mighty Eskies. No other team can really hold a candle to them. These facts will not help the "Eskie Hater" syndrome of the weak minded amongst us, but I thought it was interesting for this forum.
