So. 3 minute warning, and the closest the Ticats have come to scoring is a rouge that was called back on a holding penalty. It is gonna be a long year in Guelph.

In the always hilarious category of "jobbers that might not have had any actual training": Bad News Brown vs. Steve Reese or Sgt. Slaughter vs. Paul Fisher (and savour the dulcet tones of Joe McHugh mentions that Fisher his first appearance in the arena)

So, after having power out for more than 24 hours, the first thing I see when turning the TV back on is a 24-0 game, and I elect to catch up on my Rifftrax. When will I learn that no lead in the CFL is safe, especially after only 1 quarter?

You know that being a Hamilton fan is a miserable proposition when you're happy that one win means that at least they won't run the table of incompetence this season. At least they'll have the most Canadian corporate-sponsored stadium name next season. And now we're watching Edmonton playing back-to-back games in a downpour.

Football: 2009 Grey Cup, with the insane "too many men on the field" ending. Being one of only 3 people in my immediate area cheering for Montreal made it even better. Baseball: Justin Verlander's no-hitter in Toronto. It was 9-0, or some blowout score, at the time, so we were safely at a point where you don't feel guilty cheering against the home squad. And one walk away from perfection. Hockey: I've never been a Leafs fan, but when a buddy told me his dad had some extra tickets in the grays for a playoff game, I couldn't refuse. Which had me in the building for Gilmour's this-way, that-way, this-way-again goal in double OT vs. St. Louis. Basketball: I haven't been to many, but seeing the Raptors wipe out a 20-point deficit to beat the Wizards in 2005 was probably the best.
