Game Thread: BC Lions @ Toronto Argonauts

4 games out of 18 against Hamilton??!!??
vs.
Personally I love this.


Some people look at Monday night games and grumble and think drawing up the schedule should be easy, but this is a great example of why it's a challenge: even the home team's fans can't agree on how often we should play Hamilton, let alone what day of the week.

I have more of an issue wIth the allocation of the Argonauts bye weeks, wish they were more evenly spread out over the season.

I feel so badly for the CFL's schedule-maker who gets crapped on routinely. Everyone thinks that they can do a better job but nobody has any idea about the constraints that the schedule-maker has to work within.

There are always complaints about the schedule, and some of them even have validity, but speaking personally I am really liking the reduction in doubleheaders and late-evening starts this year. I generally don't want to devote six (or nine) hours to the CFL in a given day, and I have zero interest in staying up to midnight or later. Most games seem to start at 7 ET, which is great IMO.

Agreed - 4 games spread Thurs. thru Sunday for most of the sched. is smarter - don't like having to watch double or triple headers; then NFL season kicks in so go away from the Sunday games. Last year's sched. was horrid IMO - including teams playing each other often in a short period = stupid.

I actually kinda liked the doubleheaders...they do it with hockey, so wasn't put off.
