  1. I'm just happy BC won. Exciting game in the second half.
  2. There are still Pizza Huts? I honestly don't know anybody who goes to them.
  3. Saying a writer is better than Pedersen is like saying a person is the shortest midget.
  4. Why does cfl.ca have Nye write the weekly prediction article? Worst record of all the predictors, mediocre writer and a Rider homer.
  5. Average attendance thus far is 26,380. This is right in line with many past seasons. As a point of comparison, we were 14-4 in 2001 with an exciting team. Average attendance was 27,033 and they blacked out home games back then. 2002 we were 12-6 and we averaged 27,559. Blackouts for home games that year too. 2003 we were 11-7 and average attendance was 27,225 and still home games blacked out. I don't think blacking out home games would make an impact on attendance.
  6. I'd rather not go back to those days and you know what, average attendance wasn't better in the home games blacked out era.
  7. Why would anybody want a 44 year old wr, who will be 45 later in the year, who hasn't played since 2011 in the Indoor Pro League and who did a TC in 2012?
  8. I've read accounts and heard personal accounts from people taking the bus back then when it was open, that it could take 15 minutes for a bus to go from Eaton's (MTS Centre now) through the intersection. I call BS on Bellamy and his 10 seconds. Anybody looked into why this is such a pet project for Bellamy?
  9. The club has done some good things I think to attract fans from having a no booze section in the end zone for those who don't drink/families, the half time bands, The Rum Hut, the standing room only section and flying in people from up north. Its finding more of these things.
  10. I'm hoping Hall spent his bye week developing a killer plan to shut down Hamilton.
  11. A lot of pro leagues are dealing with attendance drops, not just the CFL. I do like many of the things the CFL has done such as bands at half time, the Rum Hut in the Peg or the variations in other locales. Not sure how you get fans to see it as a "real" league though.
  12. Andrew Harris
  13. Reilly throws a great deep ball and heck a great 50/50 ball. Makes sense to surround him with big, physical receivers.
  14. I believe they'll just go Rainey and Van this week.
  15. Calgary since Huffer took over have been the standard. I would love for us to be like them and yes that does mean making the cup 5 times in 10 years and only winning 2.
  16. Hypothetically Fenner in at SAM and Mo out is a wash but would love to have both. Not excited at all about Gaitor. Don't see how Flanders sees the field.
  17. They need to live mic every TO/DC interaction.
  18. Saw an interesting article, Als sold an additional 2000+ tickets for Friday's game, plus have sold lots of Johnny Merch.
  19. I agree. I'm forgetting the analyst on ESPN radio who said it and this is roughly a year ago, going to say Danny Kannel, he questioned if Manziel can read a D.
  20. Hey Johnny is only 2 off the CFL lead for picks.
  21. Manziel needs a new nickname, Johnny Football implies he's good.
  22. Wow, the Als start makes the Titanic look good.
  23. Biggest game of the week and you have Rod Black call it? Why TSN? Why?
  24. What is fascinating is that Hamilton beat Winnipeg and Edmonton and convincingly in both cases.
