wvu80 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I like the fast paced CFL football style. That and the 55 yard line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I'll go with Calgary, Ottawa is too east coast government town for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 True but they are the underdog and are running away with it. What a bloody game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 The ESPN2 feed went off just after the onside kick with a minute left! Edit: Feed is back. Tied with a FG, OT in 10 seconds. EDIT EDIT: Was there a cameraman ON THE FIELD near the formation as the kneel down was taking place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YK Thom Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Was in Ottawa all week at a conference, just got back to Yellowknife yesterday. The town was stoked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfbane Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Wrong team won... even though they were the better team today.

YK Thom Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 You are correct sir. On paper and over the course of the season, Calgary should have run away with this. Proves the old adage: every dog has his day. Great for the league though. Nice to see Ottawa with a new franchise and win after only three years. Roughriders RIP, long live the RedBlacks.

YK Thom Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Don't know about you guys, but when the RCMP (in full red Serge dress uniform)bring out the Cup I get a serious lump in the throat. A great part of Canadian culture and tradition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great part of Canadian culture and tradition. Absolutely agree on both counts. I am a drum and bugle corps fan and a huge fan of sharp looking uniforms. There is none finer than the RCMP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
