CFL Grey Cup Thread

[Hajjhowe]

So with everyone 2nd favorite Canadian championship coming up, I figured we could have a thread to discuss how Anthony Calvillo will choke and lose another Grey Cup for Montreal.

Also, I get to start this thread ahead of MPH so HA.

Having the choice to cheer between Calgary or Montreal is like picking between herpes or AIDS.

So go herpes...or Calgary.

I remember Calgary in the 90s and their grand tradition of QBs who would eventually succeed in the NFL. Then Feterik took over and things got horrible, good to see them back.

I'll probably cheer for them.

Here's a trivia question to get everyone in the mood (no cheating):

Which city (so Rough Riders/Renegades count together, as do Alouettes/other Alouettes/Concordes, etc.) has the highest winning percentage in CFL history?

Baltimore, duh. 2 seasons, 2 appearances in the Grey Cup, and 1 victory.

I assume that wasn't what you were going for, however. I just always like to jump into CFL threads because I was a big Stallions fan back in the day, I wish I could find retro merchandise for them. A Mike Pringle or Tracy Ham jersey would be the shit.

I'm gonna take a guess and go with Edmonton though.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Baltimore, you were the one person who I figured would have picked up on the trick question.

Although Edmonton does win among the long-standing teams.

Behold my vast CFL knowledge!

Go TEXANS ! Yeah, it was one year but it was quite nice to have a CFL team in Texas. They were good too !

Ah well, nice to see Calgary back in it. That said, Montreal will probably kick their ass.

Pregame's started on TSN (as has my liveblog ), Versus coverage starts at 5:30 EST.

Wow, what to perform pretty much exactly as I expected Calvillo. Calgary's kicker had a great game though.
