After a bye week, it has been a while since the last Ticat gameday. But it is now finally here, and now, as per what is apparently gameday tradition now, the game thread for the game is started. With the game being in Montreal, we may have a good crowd here in this game thread commenting on the game as it happens. But then again, according to this thread which you can read if you click here, some who might be usually be participating in this thread might be at the game. (I’ll miss you, Russ.)
Anyway, here we go.
WHAT – Tiger-Cats Gameday: Tiger-Cats vs. Alouettes
WHO - The Hamilton Tiger-Cats and The Montreal Alouettes
WHY – To see if the Ticats can get themselves into a tie for third place in the East Division. Third place in the division might not mean as much when considering records of West Division teams and the crossover rule. But getting tied with the blue team in the standings would be a good start.

WHEN - Saturday, August 25th, at 7:00 p.m. EDT

Click here for tonight's weather forecast. Right now, there is a 60% probability of precipitation this evening and winds of 25 km/h are expected. And at this time, it is expected that the temperature is expected to be about 22 degrees Celsius, but it's expected to feel like 31 degrees with the humidity.
If the Ticats are looking to have some success this year, every game from here on may be considered a must-win, starting with this one. The Ticats have not won a game away from IWS in a while, and this would be a good time to end that losing streak. The Ticats have managed to keep a few games close lately, but coming close to winning is not good enough. This team must win, and hopefully they will play as if they must win.
Go Ticats!
