It really would have to be a stinker to be worse…

In honor of the late, great Gordon Lightfoot, we are now Alberta bound.

Very good…

I’m more of a Neil Young Four Strong Winds kind of guy…

Speaking of which…perfect night for a ball game, 23 C Clear an almost no wind.

I once met a guy in college named Neil Young. I asked if he was a fan.
“I hate that guy!” He said.
Guess I touched a nerve :man_shrugging:

To the tune of Four Strong Winds…
“Think I’ll go out to Alberta
They say the Elks will have a ball”

Can the Elks get their second win at home this season and second straight home victory? That would be amazing for them and their fans!

Looking for an Elks demolition of the Stamps tonight. Maybe someone could put a laxative in the Stamps stallion’s feed bag so he can’t run. Better still maybe the Elks D can shut down Meier and the rest of the Stamps offense.

Cheering for the Stamps for the following reasons…

  1. Riders have a better chance as a crossover
  2. Riders have a better chance of getting a new coach if the Stamps catch and pass them,
  3. Chris Jones

Maier has been an enigma this year. Good and bad all at the same time. Which one shows up today?

Elks get Plamondon DL, Focoault OL, and Purifoy back. tonight.

Nice. Pin them deep to start!

I’ve said this many times but it bears repeating.
This year, CALGARY HAS THE UGLIEST UNIFORMS EVER

(Like these helmets, though)

Not a very smart play by the returner on the opening kickoff. I thought for sure he was going to bend the knee.

Wow, what an amazing start for Edmonton. Poor decision by Lewis to try to take that out. Just give up the single and take the field position.

I like the unis.

Gotta think its a lot easier to get the team up to start the game than it was a few weeks ago. It’s the part nobody is talking about but Tre seems to be a real leader.

Absolutely. The future is bright in Edmonton with Tre Ford at QB

EE don’t have to demolish the Stamps - just score a few more points!

And people thought that last night’s game was boring - well the first half left a bit to be desired but it was far better than the 2 one-sided affairs that we’ve seen so far today!

And with Brown!!! Nice run!
