Does anyone know where Toronto media (Simmons in the Sun and Arthur in the Star, I think, both last week) were getting the figure of a near-$10-million operating loss? I was shocked when I saw...
One of the things that's been so great about this team is the positive energy surrounding it, no small feat considering the way last season turned out. That is almost entirely thanks to Coach...
Pull Together is still the classic. Since 1873.
I will be in my season seat, section EE, row 12. So pumped to have the Argos in the big game! When I exercised the option for the GC ticket last December, never could I have even dreamed that I'd...
Right on, Michael! I fall into the category of lifelong Argo fan who unfortunately can't be a STH because I live and work in Ottawa. But I watch every game on TV, buy Argo merchandise, wear it...
Except this time, in addition to what should be a very healthy Ontario audience, the "Eastern" Final can count on the always high Saskatchewan viewership. Good points about prime time and possible...
CFL reported great ratings for both semi-finals last week, best in 3 years. Average of 975K for the Eastern game and 1.1M for the Western one. Those are excellent numbers for semis, this...
Argos will need to apply lots of pressure on Glenn from the get-go. Ottawa did nothing last week and it cost them dearly. Fortunately, we have among the best front four in the league. The only...
I thought it was pretty cool that the Argos got two paragraphs in the "failing" New York Times. Probably more than we've had in either the Star or the Globe in a while. ;-)
I don't have to go to Ottawa because I live there. 😀
As a Redblacks STH, I exercised my option to buy the GC ticket for my seat. Now if only the Argos make it to the big game, the plan will have...
Is anybody else seriously looking forward to seeing what James Wilder Jr. can do tonight? This guy has broken out (helped by great run blocking) and has potentially revolutionized the Argo offence. ...
Just received a whole whack of Boat Logo Collection merchandise for my birthday (special request to my wife). Thought I'd get a couple of items but she practically bought up everything (except the...
A disappointing loss. But some positives: D looked great until well into the 4th quarter. Edwards had 10 catches and nice YAC yards. Kicking game was solid. Negatives: Ricky did look off and...
Just a few comments on Ray's performance last week: I can honestly say I wasn't surprised (well, surprised that he chalked up 506 yds, but not that he's still got what it takes to win). The key for...
Can anyone explain WHY the East is so bad this year? Last year things were fairly even. No doubt BC and Wpg are greatly improved in the West, but why in particular are Ott and Ham so mediocre (we all...
Or why not make Coombs a more regular part of the offence? He's been underused the past two years, IMO. Agree that Jones shows good potential.
I've always thought Barker and SM were good football men, and fundamentally I still think that, but after watching this team lose (and lose badly) over the last two months, I'm starting to think a...
And Whitaker scores! Set up by another nice return by Spencer.
At least they didn't surrender a TD to Mitchell Gale...yet.
Lots of things went wrong in this game, but the biggest difference was on both sides of the line. Calgary O-line (avg size 330 lbs) simply manhandled our D-line, creating huge gaps for Messam to...
Agree jerrym, not spectacular (except the first drive), but efficient. D is playing pretty well, getting pressure on Jennings and disrupting drives. Sure hope we have the wind in the 4th!
Agree completely with 1argoholic, Coombs has been virtually nowhere to be seen in the Argos' offensive schemes. Very odd considering the guy's talent and the fact he's a ratio-buster. Then again,...
Right on Angelo, first obligation for any team owner is to his STH, the most loyal fans who provide the franchise with revenue predictability and stability (especially in a gate-driven league). ...
I genuinely feel bad for all the STH who are getting screwed by Rogers and co. What a perfect storm. Anyway, all I can say is we Argo fans up here in Ottawa (and there are quite a few of us, based...
