Just more mopping up from the plugged toilet hire of Hawkins.

Cats are in tough of course. But Riders blew the cap to get their roster, molly-coddle a a headcase and now potential criminal Anderson so its tough to accept that Riders "deserve" to win . Rider fans want it both ways - we deserve to win becasue we were underdogs for so long yet its now a point of pride that they're no longer underdogs. But like Leaf fans and Cub fans there is this strange sense of entitlement.

3 at least. Micah Johnson, Demonte Bolden and Marquay McDaniel. Rider circle jerk is acting like they upset the '81 Eskimos.

How many regulars were CAL missing yesterday, anyone ?

Clearly it was the week off that doomed them.

Tip of the hat to Argo fans. Didnt see any BS in stands or outside. Had a quiet pint at Bidali's with a bunch of classy Argo fans. Kudos.

Rider fans, Canada's Team. Durant, Sheets, Home field advantage, weather.......All ******* week. <groan>

Interesting to see intensity level of TOR who hasnt played a meaningful game in almost a month.

True, but there is some accuracy there. No Chris Williams, no IWS, 1-4 out of the gate and people had them buried again. Dont even get much TSN love. Quick to pounce on games they choked and some furrowed brows when they do win. Even the usually optimistic Schultz said around LD HAM wasnt "even close " to having a team ready.

You could say that about justabout anyone. Giving an average coaching talent like Jones the whistle when the org. is in such a precarious state is a mistake. WPG needs more of a proven commodity, who gives an impression of stability. Not a nostalgia, buddy hire who will be hailed as an "up and comer".

Name one thing Jones does that deserves a promotion to HC. And please dont say "players like him" because that was said for over ten years about Kavis Reed.

Cheap 'n easy hire ?

East final. Much of Tor. media will declare attendence not enough (though they will never state what a good figure is other than a sell-out) then translate that as proof S.Ontario does not care about CFL. So it doesnt matter who wins. West final. CAL defense is too tough against a good to middling SSK attack. Corny has a good day.

Nope. The cartoon hate is still there. Your Rider fan credibility relies on how much you ridicule and belittle him. If you try to suggest anything like "let's move on" you're shouted down for thought-crime. Then add Austin to the mix.

No one is shocked, just disappointed. You can clearly see that the ref saw it, but he didn't want to throw a flag on a game changing play which is a shame. If it's a penalty call it regardless of when it happens. Only bright side to historically poor consitency to PI calls is that if one waits long enough eventually you'll get one in your favour. This happened on Sun. I can recite missed calls both ancient and recent that have screwed HAM but al I can say is "what goes around comes around". Combined with the facts of MTL turnovers, missed FGs, epic collapse on defense in 4th qtr and OT you can only feel so much "shame" in a missed call.

People shocked at a missed call in a CFL game. Funny.

So who is on the True Colours list ?

Frankly, an astonishing bit of pique by a coach on his way out. Questioning a players heart by a coach is almost taboo.

Riders took a bench penalty too. Chamblins country club atmosphere bit them in the ass last night

Miss two FGs, one for a TD, an interception and only scoring 8 points in second half doesnt make losing believable ??

Was lectured quite a bit on how Creehan was the real deal and it was players that let himdown. I said it was a combination of Creehan alienating people and some weak personel. No, no, no came the reply - just watch. From this site/OB or Ticats ? riderfans actually. I know its not an accurate sampling nor does reflect every single Bomber fan, but it WAS said.
