A prank war between Ticat fans and GTA residents is one thing I believe could help reignite and fuel the heated rivalry.

Usually, the set game is the Saturday right after the Labour Day Monday game.
Same situation for the Stampeders/Eskimos Labour Day game.
I always thought it was done that way so that the Argos and Eskimos have a quick follow up home game to benefit from the rivalry tradition of the Labour Day games, since those are always held in Hamilton and Calgary.
TORONTO ARGONAUTS FOOTBALL CLUB
GREY CUP CHAMPIONS: 1914, 1921, 1933, 1937, 1938, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1950, 1952, 1983, 1991, 1996, 1997, 2004, 2012, 2017, 2022
I like the idea of having Labour Day in Hamilton and Thanksgiving in Toronto. I don't like them playing 4 or 5 days later. With Labour Day and Thanksgiving you have 2 important fall day games when the schedule likely means the games have alot of importance to standings. Once a 10th team joins the East, there will be a home and away for each team, which means that the 2 games played will matter, be important and can be hyped up to really mean something with your most hated rival.
GO ARGOS!!!
Two games four days apart, as has happened when the rematch is on a Friday, should never happen now that the Argos should (will?) have some control over their dates. There will have to be some five-day intervals to keep TSN happy, and there is one week with five games so someone gets short end of the stick, but otherwise we can hope for a steady diet of intervals approximating a full week, I hope.
Put my down as a second for Scooter's suggestion that Thanksgiving weekend be an annual Ham at Tor game, our equivalent of LDay.
Yes -- I really hope we see it no later than second wk of Jan. Have to make some plans around next year's sked and in particular the home opener.
Socks would be neat , mine are getting old; white on double blue or the Oxford blue . Shorts would be nice ( double blue cammo style ) ; I have seen some cool homemade looking double blue pants .
Warm weather jacket ( 3 in 1 style bomber or something with a fleece liner )
Lobby the MOH for a license plate option; that " A " really sucks ...the plate logo should be the " Pull Together Argos" boat.
How did Rogers have any influence on CFL schedule release times?
The MLB schedule is available now for the 2016 season and has been available this early in past years.
If anything, the Argonauts now have to wait for the MLS schedule to be released, which I don't believe is available yet, since TFC gets priority for dates at BMO Field.
The Argos in the last 10 years had to wait until Rogers filled concert and event dates prior to be given a list of dates that would usually only consist of 11 or 12 possible options. We should have a schedule by January this season.
Rogers rep called me because I cancelled my cel phone. I told him all about the Rogers hate and he was going to look into it. He liked the Argos. Oh well I'm done with Rogers totally now. I'm actually done with cel or handhelds of any type.
Rogers will be brought back down to earth.
I wouldn't hold your breath thinking for a second that the cfl would release there schedule in January especially with Jeffery orridge being commisioner. With the little work this guy has done during the season I wouldn't except him to all of a sudden to start organizing and planning things in the off season in a timely way. This guy has a hard time even naming a grey cup host in time as past commisioners in the last few years would announce them well in advance to prepare for such an event.
Anyways I would love to see a Argo-ticat game at bmo field at the end of August when the Cne is still going on. Would be great to advertise and promote the league that way. With having Argo and ticat fans wearing there jerseys,hats etc.. Walking. Around on the grounds before and after the game with thousands and thousands of mostly younger people attending the Cne.
It's us vs the rest of the country
Many moons ago there was 1 or sometimes 2 games during the CNE, when the Argos played at the EX. I always enjoyed those games (and some wrestling events) very much. That said, i'd suggest that during the CNE maybe it would be better to throw in a lesser draw than the Cats to maximize attendance?
Also, while i think Orridge has shown little so far, trashing him at this point is unfair. Next season is when he should have his vision for the league in place, and activated.
Rocket may i ask who do you actually like, or support in the CFL and Argonaut organizations?
