Sucks that we didn't get a home playoff game (especially since it was part of the season ticket package this year) but it will certainly be interesting to see how we match up against Hamilton with no Collaros.

On the bright side, we now get reimbursed for the Fort Mac game, since the playoff ticket was a replacement for that.

Since Elliot seems to be injured, I'm assuming that our starting O will be:

Campbell-Holmes-Keeping-Smith-Van Roten
Hazelton-Owens-Spencer-Gurley
Whitaker-Coombs
Ray

It was nice to see strong late-season performances from guys like Bates and Stala (and I think the latter will dress), but we're going to start the guys who got us here.

Lost in admiration for @HenryBurris and his @REDBLACKS teammates and coaches. Too bad they have to play @Ticats in East Final. ;-)

Something to pin on the wall if Argos need extra motivation.

Bob Young, in addition to being a great team owner, is a nice man just having some fun on twitter.

Agreed!

Young's just having a little fun, I don't take issue with that. Now if it was one of the players or coaches it'd be different.

I would expect Van Zeyl to be back at right tackle next Sunday. He hasn't had a great season and has been fighting the injury bug but, after resting on Friday, I expect he will be lined up next to Van Roten who will be at right guard in Hamilton.

If I can guarantee Smith not to go down mid game, I would start him. He is their best when he is in the game. The o-line was at it's best when he was starting prior to Keeping's return from injury, and it looked much better on Friday as well. Smith had a great camp, and I believe if they felt he wasn't on his last legs in terms of health (durability), he would have started the entire year at right guard.

Smith plays well when he is in the lineup but at this point I wonder if his body isn't being held together by masking tape.

I will be very disappointed if Kackert is not playing at all in this game.
Who all here is going to the game?? I will definitely be there. Looking to take my 5 buddies that go to Labour Day game every year and tailgate all morning again.

I agree about Kackert. He earned the start on Friday.
I got my ticket Sunday morning. Sec207 R7 S7. If you want to go you had better hurry. There were not many tickets left. I'll be driving in from London after going to the Yates Cup on Saturday

Agreed. I think anyone that has seen an interview or meet Young knows he's not being malicious and just having fun which is all the difference.

Again, with all due respect to Kackert, nobody earns a spot in a glorified exhibition game. Whitaker has been great all year.

I think the ponderable is Kackert vs. Steele, with the intrigue being that Kackert on point is a game-changer.

I believe that I will take the Argonauts to win this game.

But if Kackert isn't the starter, I doubt you will see him as the back up. Back ups are expected to have an impact on special teams, and Steele is excellent on special teams. Unless they decide to sit Spencer, and I really don't see that happening, I don't expect Kackert to dress.

**QBall** · 11-09-2015, 10:18 AM

I'm feeling really good about this one. Pussy Cats have been on a huge slide recently which culminated in last Saturday's pretty humiliating loss. We have momentum. We seem to be coming together on both offense and defense. It's 2012 all over again.
