Chris Williams doesn't seem to have the blazing speed since pre-injury ?
when It happen to me playing touch ball, I was afraid for a long time that I might reinjure if I go all out.

Not sure what to make of this, kinda dull game, mistakes on both sides. Mighty Calgary *could* be beaten, but weren't...

You know what I am disappointed to see, Purolator tackle hunger #'s.

Calgary: 74,117 Lbs

BC: 11, 000 (odd) Lbs

I know we have a high cost of living, but REALLY?

I had to do a double take at those numbers. I don't know what they were indicative of but they are sadly low....

Not to make excuses, but in Calgary most people drive to the games and tailgate pre-game which is more condusive to the tackle hunger program. Are people going to arm themselves with bags of groceries for the Sky Train ride? True, you can make cash donations which accounts for X number of pounds (which is what I did), but it's a different culture there vs here.

Also, another idea is, make a cash donation of $10 ($15?) or more and receive a FREE bobblehead. Otherwise, to run both programs on the same night is counter productive. The line-ups for the bobbleheads were insane. This meant fewer people were milling about the Purolater Tackle Hunger booths and getting their picture taken with the Grey Cup....they didn't want to lose out on the bobblehead.
