Well, thankfully the Alouettes beat the Eskimos but pretty disappointed with the Stampeders’ efforts. I just don’t think Glenn has what it takes to take an offense to the big date (and Drew Tate remains an unknown).

Gordon, I know you’ll be cheering for BC, and I expect them to win fairly easily, but my wife and I will be cheering for Saskatchewan. Sorry. Don’t worry though, I expect you’ll be saying sorry to me after the game.

Hey – NFL starts pretty soon (the only good thing about winter) :smt023

Calgary game was a disappointment, today game was a very defensive until just before halftime then Riders disappeared a bit.
BC defense just kept on coming so another game with no touchdowns against BC.

Next BC plays Winnipeg
Calgary gets possible PO'ed Rider team

BC playing very well on both sides of the ball right now. At present they are the team to beat. I predict consistency in their game but the CFL is nothing if not unpredictable. Any other team could suddenly "click" and explode. Let's hope so.

Saw my neighbour out at the crack of dawn,taking down his humongous Riders flag. Yesterday,they were just obnoxious,because for sure they were going to roll over BC. :127:
I couldn't help but smile and say a polite good morning as I jogged by.

Tonights game has top vs bottom I will give Winnipeg the benefit of the doubt as showing this season any team can win on any given day.
I prefer a close game, blowout are boring.

of course my avatar should give away who I'm cheering for

Just as long as they don't get to cocky and stay grounded BC should be playing at end of November


May your team do well today

Yes - my team playing my wife's team. Yikes.

Oh well, I am also a bit of a Roughrider fan and if my team has to lose to anyone I'd prefer it was them.

( my team sucks so far this year and I'm not expecting great things - when does NFL start? )
