Well, in 2014, the Stamps touched that trophy, and the Ticats did not touch the trophy they won for winning the EDF game. And you know which of those two teams won the Grey Cup the next week.
So the 15-2-1 Stamps take on an Ottawa team with a record of 8-9-1. I’m sure that many will expect Calgary to win in a blowout as they try to win it for Mylan Hicks. But maybe it should be noted that Ottawa is responsible for that 1 in Calgary’s 15-2-1 record. However, BC was the only team to defeat Calgary in a meaningful game this year, and BC got blown out by Calgary in the WDF game.
An Ottawa-Calgary Grey Cup game is better for ticket sales than a battle of Alberta. But the probability of the game being a one-sided blowout cannot be good for ticket sales. And as I mentioned in another thread, some fans (Ticat fans in particular) may boycott the game over certain incorrect decisions made in the command centre and on the field.
I'm happy for Ottawa fans and glad that the east is represented. Most of all, I'm delighted that the Esks aren't in the Grey Cup because this should shut Matt Dunigan's pie hole and his Eskimo rants. Looks Good on Ya, Matty! :lol: :lol: :lol:
It's all about the Burris interview when he throws 3 INT's and gets benched in the second half then Trevor Harris leads an Ottawa comeback. At least that's my ideal scenario.
Agreed! I would have HATED to see an all-west Grey Cup
My perfect scenario would be a decent Calgary lead, OTTRBs doing enough to make it close,maybe even taking a slight lead, and then the horses coming back and stomping the OTTRBs. This scenario IMO has the best of all worlds - an exciting game, the predicted team winning, and the smile getting wiped off of Hank’s face when he realizes his “replacement” again wins the prize he so dearly covets! All this in spite of the fact that I’m tired of hearing how "great"BLM and the Stamps are. I’d rather listen to that than Hank “gloating”!
Nope , I’m thinking yer bang on with 11 as Julian , 88 definitely a dead ringer for Ricky but I’ll say that 33 would be my Bubbles and the other two Wanna be J-Boxers would be 66 as Randy bo Bandy and 44 could be Mr. Lahey. :thup:
Just saw an interesting stat on Derek Taylor's "The Details" - Zach has the best QB rating (around 101)for QBs under pressure while Bo has the lowest (around 72) - Hank is just a bit better. The problem of course is trying to get pressure on BLM as the Stamps OL has been really good all year.
The fact he can stand in the pocket has no effect on his rating. The rating is based only based on how good he is under pressure. Could be that because he's not often under pressure as much as Zach was, that he's not as good at it??
