Well unless you expect a turnaround and Grey Cup win in November it is 2 wins in 45 years!

This team couldn’t beat themselves in practice let alone any real team

The point is 2 wins in 44.75 years is beyond pathetic in a mostly 9 team league

2 in 31 years yes 1 in 18 years 0 in 17 years!

8. You still can’t add habcat, 1972, 1986, and 1999… that’s 3 Cups in 45 years or (44.75 yrs, as

   you say) : :
   Get your calculator out !!! :

I can type slower for you if you would like me to! I am talking after the 72 win for which I corrected to 44.75 years!

Exactly!
44.75 years of it unfortunately for us long time,life long and long suffering fans!

Positive…Bob Young does not deserve ANY criticism. It’s his money that has the Cats still here. If you don’t like what he’s trying to do…don’t go to games…dont watch on TV. That will speak volumes.
I’ve had ST for 41 years…one of the privileged 2500 ST holder in the really dark days.
Does anyone remember the Harold Ballard ownership days and how he actually had transport truck loaded with equipment to move the Cats to…he really had nowhere to go but threatened anyway.
I’m POSITIVE Bob doesn’t like what’s happening but it’s HIS money and will fix it in an ORDERLY non knee jerk way.
I hate this constant losing but I’m hoping the off season will be fruitful with an experienced CFL head coach who’ll bring in an experienced coaching staff. I also believe Tillman and his two assistants need to be replaced.
I’m POSITIVE we’ll get past this next year. People need to chill and stop criticizing how an organization is run when they have no experience in professional football.
I’m positive I’ll be at every game no matter the record.

Didn’t BY threaten to move the team out of Hamilton, too?

8. How convenient to change you statement from your original post on page 1 of this thread !!

No mention of after 1972 there, only that you are too young to remember that win in 72 !!
I guess since you are too young to remember that one, we should just forget it :o
WOW, as you would say : Unreal !!

To Aldershot?
How great that would have been.

[TommyBoy1]

I think he mentioned Milton and Quebec City too as possible sites to move the Cats out of Hamilton.

I believe the threat was Milton and Ottawa. But yes Mr Young did make that threat

I positively think this same old same old is wearing me down. I positively think that we keep thinking that their going to win one is bringing them bad luck. :-[

Of course it is wearing you down it is me as well and countless others! The team has 2!..count them 2! Grey Cup win in 45 years! In a 8 or 9 team league!!! I was too young to remember 72 and the memory of 86 is fading. Sure they went to 2 Grey Cups and lost but maybe if the East wasn’t so bad they wouldn’t have.
There has been nothing positive since mid 2015,nothing! I have been calling for Austin to be fired since he refused to find an experienced QB to replace Collaros when he got the knee injury. That was the beginning of the end! I sit in the stands game after game disappointed mad and never hopeful anymore, check that I’m usually just hopeful we don’t get blown away lately that never happens either!
Be positive? Give me something to be positive about!..other than taking my money, that positively happens.
Bob Young Scot Mitchell look at the stands apathy is settled in and thats bad news for this franchise!

You want a +ve?
I am positive, we will win the 1st draft pick overall.
I am also +ve that we will, again, make a lousy choice.

@Gerbear20

I will list what I perceive as positives on this team this season :

1. Will Hill was an outstanding find and looked like a beast out there. This guy was a pro bowl candidate in the NFL but ran into substance abuse issues etc and got booted from the NFL. He grabbed a referee by the throat in one of his games this year for us and was suspended for a game and after that he was missing practice or being late for practice and was cut. Too bad as he was like a Chip Cox out there and exactly what we needed.

2. Coleman at DT looks like a beast and gets good push . So much so that he forced the team to find a way to wiggle the ratio to get him into games

3. DB Leonard has played well in every game including preseason …he is the only DB that plays fairly close to the receivers and even prevents the odd completion unlike the rest of the db’s

4 DB Unamba - short sample size of a few games but he looks like he is better than all the other db’s that we have auditioned .

5. Larry Dean. He seems to have a nose for the football and is fast and can tackle well . He has improved since last year .

6 . Castillo - Our punting and field goal kicking have been fine.

7 Saunders - This Wide receiver has made some acrobatic catches and looks like he could be a keeper

8 Aultman - Similar to Saunders as shown the ability to win a jump ball and make difficult catches . he also is very fast and that can be seen in his punt returns. He will likely replace Banks is my guess as our main kick returner

9 John Chick…he still has a motor and works his but off and makes good tackles…just not getting enough sacks could be due to double teaming him.

10 Capicotti - DE- This guy work his but off and makes good tackles and gets some pressure . I will say that Chick is not getting as many sacks as he has in the past and that could be because the rb helps out blocking chick because capicotti offers less threat . I think he is doing a decent job but we need a guy like Tracey wo has more speed and strength in his spot when our ratio improves with Butler and Fantuz returning.

11. Kavel Connor Lb- This guy has plenty of NFL experience and has size and speed. He stood out in preseason for is speed and tackling ability and is motor. Right now you can see these qualities on is special team play . I predict he will start at linebacker in the cfl whether it be with the cats or another team . That is if e chooses to stay here.

Just one more positive to add - maybe replace the one about Chick.
Did anyone notice that the kick-off return team actually set up some blocking for Banks in the last game. He had two good returns, which were a result of following the blockers up the field instead of trying to outrun everyone around the end.

You’re nuts…Aldershot was the only choice as there was land, highway and GO nearby. I don’t consider this leaving Hamilton. People should be grateful and stop the whining about being such a putrid team this year. Suck it up and hope it’s better in 2018.

[TommyBoy1]

I'm not nuts but thanks for the nice compliment. Bob did threaten to move the team and did mention Milton and Quebec and I think Ottawa. Look it up. Thank god he was only bluffing like Ballard before him.

Yes Aldershot was mentioned and it made the most sense, close to the GO station, the highway, tons of parking etc but even though it’s close, it was in Burlington.
Milton was only mentioned by the Pan Am committee when it looked like Hamilton couldn’t make a decision on where to put the Pan Am stadium. Quebec City was NEVER mentioned and nothing to do with the Pan Am games.

How about getting back to POSITIVES instead of dragging out the old negative stadium selection again.
I think it is possible to knock off the Argos on Labour Day, shut down Ray put pressure, look at the difference with Ray in there. The previous week in Montreal they looked terrible.
They are beatable on Labour Day
