OT: Grey Cup

[dash]

Montreal vs. Saskatchewan - Who ya got?

SK has the redemption factor, but I'm taking Montreal to win back-to-back titles. 31-27 final.

talk that over 100000 rider fans have invaded Edmonton for the game ... if this were NCAA we'd say the alumni travel well

Im cheering for the Als

I dont know if it was talked about during the thread a couple of weeks back when the riders played the Lions but when the Lions scored on that last second TD, the riders got penalized on the game tie-ing extra point attempt for pyramiding

Wally Buono has since said he regrets not going for the 2 point convert ... that would have been classic if the Lions went for 2, converted and won especially after the way the Riders lost last years grey cup on a too many men penalty

Montreal. Because I know how to spell it...


Seriously though, I'll enjoy watching but don't really care who wins. Probably root for the underdog...

Riders need to win this one. losing would set this team back a bit for last year. I really want them to win.

Riders will definitely have prairie field advantage, but i think Mtl is still the better team.
SK was very lucky to win both of its playoff games after poor starts in both, and if they start off like that again, Mtl won't be quite so forgiving.

Mtl 35, SK 21.... knock 7 off of both scores if it's snowing hard.

MTL is the better team for sure, but with that said if Durant can get going the Riders can take it. Obviously Rider Nation will be in full swing in EDM. In fact I know they have started to pile in. Think I'm going for Sasky.

I'm not familiar with CFL rules, but each team plays with 13 men on the field correct?

I was thinking the same thing at the time, why wouldn't you go for the win when the other team can't stop you?

Buono is good at finding talent/improving players, but his coaching in the clutch has been awful for years, otherwise the Stamps would have won 5-6 Grey Cups with him rather than 3

As I said before, all you need to do is take a case of Pilsner into the huddle. If somebody doesn't get a beer, he leaves the field of play.

watching the Anaheim / Chicago game, and the announcers went on for about three full minutes talking about the Grey Cup.
t'was kind of funny. came about via the Getzlaff connection, of course.
