In these situations I usually trust that Wally is doing what is best for the team, even if I have a hard time agreeing with his moves on an emotional level. But this time around I think Wally should err on the side of team chemistry and give CK one more season.

A year ago I would have been jumping for joy at this news... now I am not so happy. For all the reasons Blitz mentioned.

Other than Lancaster, who was a disaster during his first HC job in Regina, has there ever been a former QB who went on to become a successful head coach in the CFL? I'm surprised by this hiring. I agree with an earlier post that Ritchie as HC and Austin as OC and heir apparent would have been a sma...

1965: 6-9-1 for 13 points. Fourth in West. Out of playoffs. 1986: 12-6 for 24 points. Second in West. Lost WDF to Edmonton. 1995: 10-8 for 20 points. Third in West. Lost West Semi-Final to Edmonton. 2001: 8-10 for 16 points. Third in West. Lost West Semi-Final to Calgary. So it looks like in none o...

Good post. One other thing I'd like to add is Ackles and the Coaches. It's the players who win/lose but if the right foundation isn't there due to diligence by the Coaches, things just don't work. In your comparison between the years who do you give the nod to in coaching (or is it a tie)? I'd give...

Does anyone know if that is the real Grey Cup or a replica?

Jackson did have a great first half... but 6 field goals is pretty huge. DD ran a great offense and really managed the game. I have no problem with either award.

Didn't the Riders leave it behind in someone's hotel room in 1989?

Paul came through big time, but DD put his body on the line... a couple of head first runs for first downs sealed the deal for DD.

Oh here's another Brent Johnson connection... My Belizean wife and her brother actually spent their high school years in Kingston, Ontario, because their father did his masters and PhD at Queens... my brother in law played football against Brent, and remembers him well. A few weeks ago I mentioned t...

Here's a good Brent Johnson story for you.... A good friend of mine has a brother who was Brent Johnson's football coach in high school. This past summer my buddy and his little boy are taking a walk in the park and they see Brent. So, John (my buddy) goes over to introduce his son, Flynn, to Brent....

freakin' A!! Good job Brent!!

Having a stadium downtown is important to a city. Teams like the Detroit Lions who experimented with suburban stadiums are moving back to downtown stadiums. It's not that the Detroit Lions didn't fill the house in Pontiac, it's that the city of Detroit saw the value of having their team play games ...

I saw a DD today that I haven't seen in the last 3 years, a DD that was willing to run, and get out of the pocket. It was nice to see, and made it much more exciting. What really impressed me about DD moving outside the pocket was that it was by design, part of the attack, not an adjustment or the ...

4. I thought that overthrow of Geroy early was ominous... was scared that the failure to capitalize on a gimme touchdown would haunt them. It's so cool to have a psychologically strong team...! That overthrow of Geroy was huge because the he had already made a couple of big plays and then Sask crap...
