Just saw this now. Hope the Argos victory helps keep his spirits up.

Good thing you missed the game Paul. Watching the Argos come from 24 points behind to win 42-41 with one second left might have resulted in more heart surgery.
I have to say, it's nice to find out after the fact. I can't wait to see this one on PVR.

get well soon
My daughter can now say that she was at both of the greatest comebacks in Argo history. I have such fond memories of that Marvin Graves game in 1994, but this one is actually more memorable in my opinion. it must be killing the redblacks, to have blown such a winnable game the way they did.

Best wishes to you Paul. Keep fighting the fight. (thanks for your many excellent posts here also)
I was at that 1994 comeback game, my first year as a STH, was so sweet coming against Hamilton.
This 2018 game was memorable as well, and for me it was for 2 reasons...
#1 Reason of course the Argos comeback, but #2 my buddy sitting beside me won the $7K 50/50 draw!
He has been a STH since 1991 so after 28 years of trying, he sure deserves it!
here's an idea...Maybe we should start a new Thread on here, about the 50/50 draw...
has any of our posters on this site ever won it?
Get Well Soon!!
Great to see Paul posting again so soon after his surgery. Also great to see tht the 50/50 draw was won by a STH. I have been buying $20 worth at every game, and never get more than the first number, lol.
BTW... I was at the Winnipeg game vs. the Argos on July 27th. With 27,000 fans, their draw total was $108,000!!! What I would give for us to have those kind of crowds.
I don't know the technical/legal side of it but I believe that there are some sort of rules and regulations that prevent Ontario 50/50 draws from producing such large winnings.

GREY CUP CHAMPIONS: 1914, 1921, 1933, 1937, 1938, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1950, 1952, 1983, 1991, 1996, 1997, 2004, 2012, 2017, 2022
Last weeks 50/50 in Edmonton was over $400 000. That is incredible! I had to double check when I heard. I believe that would mean that the 37 000 in attendance would have an average of $20 a ticket.
