Sportsnet is definetly bias against Hamilton when it comes to Toronto.
The intro to sportnet connected used to feature a flash of Ivor Wynne stadium now it's been replaced by BMO Field. If that's not bias I don't know what is.
when you go to a school wearing a black polo shirt with a tiger cat logo at the top left corner of the shirt and the person thats deciding whether you get into that school or not sees you and there a hardcore ARGO fan...LMAO..that actually happened to me last week in Oshawa...it was hilarious.. lmao
A few weeks ago we were walking through the lobby of the Best Western in Chesterton Indiana and a lady said "Oske Wee Wee". I was wearing a black Ticats golf shirt.
It turns out her husband (From Illinois) had been transfered to Hamilton for a couple of years, some 20 years ago and they had attended Ticat Games.
On the same trip, we are sitting on a pub deck overlooking the Mississippi river in Guttenburg Iowa, sipping a cold one and a guy walks over, noticing my Ticats hat and asked if I was from Hamilton. A friend of his had played a year or two for the Ticats in the late 70's or early 80's. He had gone and watched a couple of games in Hamilton and even went up for one in Winnipeg. He said he loved our game and was really impressed with our stadium. I can't remember the guys name now but he said he had played for Iowa State.
It's absolutely amassing how our team's name is so well recognized. My Ticat gear has been acknowledged in Georgia, Florida etc. and we have made some new friends as a result of wearing it. :thup:
A lot of the US football media and blogosphere are readily dismissive of the CFL, but there definitely is a following for it in the States due to families of players watching, pockets of fandom such as ex-Baltimore Stallions fans, and advocates of the game (like Doug Flutie, Warren Moon, Chris Berman, and Mike Mayock) leading the charge. The game has its proponents because it is wide-open and at its best can surpass NFL fare in terms of entertainment value. That fanbase IS in the millions from what ratings data can surmise.
bump This happened a bit ago! but! you know your a Ticat fan when: at every family gathering you chant the good Ole Oskie wee wee! Funny story! My Uncle was having a 50th birthday party thrown for him in Niagara! In the middle of the Restaurant A good chunk of my family started Chanting OSKIEE wee wee after he received a Jersey and Season tickets! Heh!
It was the same day as the Gold medal game so after Canada won Gold he ran around the streets with his NEW Ticats Jersey on and a big Canadian Flag screaming oskie wee wee!
You know your a TiCats fan WHEN: You rock your Hitchcock Jersey in Down town
You know your COOL when: You cheer for the rival team of the city you live in!
