Thread for the Team that Cannot Be Named

[OV Argo]

Hamilton has to end with 1 more victory than Montreal to secure 2nd place in the Eastern Football Conference. Looking at both team’s remaining schedules, Hamilton’s road is a lot tougher. They will be lucky to win 2 more games the rest of the season. Hamilton misses the post season due to the cross over.

Either of the Stamps or Elks make a late season run/ win streak and they could cross-over; more likely the Stamps if they put it together (Dickenson is a clown as a HC though IMO). Again, can't see this wimpy, over-priced hero FA savior Ticats team winning more than one game the rest of this season, and possibly none.

Of course he is in your mind. You really do live in a Bizarro world.

The Argos and Matt Black certainly thank-him for another Argo GC win; in fact, a whole bunch of CFL teams thank the goof for losing big play-off games in the last decade or so.

But as an American GOB, to you, he has a rightful place as a CFL leader and should keep getting rewarded and revered. ;o)

One of my fave CFL QBs back in his day - a sharp, poised, accurate arm gamer; as a CFL HC however, he is a predictable dullard. Outstanding players just do not always make good football coaches'.

You really have no clue Same answer to every possible situation. What will you ever do when you CTRL, C and V keys fail you?

Whatever pal.

The Ticats have re-jigged their football operations. Steinauer is now President, Football Operations and Ed Hervey is GM. A head coach (who I assume to be Scott Milanovich) will be named later this week.

[shayman]

That's kind of a weird way to do it, to announce the head coach a couple of days later.

Or will it be June Jones?

Milanovich makes the most sense but there is some speculation that Jones could be involved in some way.

Scott Milanovich is the new head coach in Hamilton. I wasn't a fan of his towards the end of his Toronto tenure.

Important off-season in Hamilton (but aren't they all).

Argo fans reason to rejoice ! - Mr. Ed & Scotty M in charge of the Pussycats; gee, what a CFL shocker.

[ArgoRavi]

Reports tonight have Bo Levi Mitchell returning to QB the Ticats in 2024 on a restructured contract. Given that he hasn't had a good season in 5 or 6 years, I am not convinced that this will work out well for the Ticats.
