July 14th 2012: Toronto Argonauts vs. Hamilton Tiger-Cats

[KCargosfan]

Do we take a bus to Hamilton early Saturday afternoon? How does the travel work?

I would guess team meal at noon, leave at 1?

[ArgoRavi]

Watching the Als/Stamps game tonight - featuring 2 very good RBs in Cornish & Whitaker - and next to zero run game = typical CFL offence = very often lack of faith in a run game and sticking with it; shut down the run early and most CFL teams will flee the run game like rats off a sinking ship. I hope this does not become the case with the Argos O and Boyd.

Montreal, especially, really abandoned the run tonight although they did ultimately win the game with Calvillo throwing for over 300 yards. However, they might not have needed the late game heroics if they had not forgotten about their running game to begin with.

Guys used to drive themselves to the Hammer. I'm not sure what our new coach has decided to do though.

I saw Huntley and Jeff Johnson parking their cars in the same lot that I parked mine at the pre-season game.

Sometimes, you just have to turn off the mind and the analysis and just enjoy the game.Damn, that was exciting. You gotta feel sorry for AC's back ups though. Even with a shoulder injury, the guy still has it.

I was pissed that Calgary blew that. I kept telling my wife that her team is CRAP! You can't cheer for teams to help you out it never works. Having said that GO Esks GO.

[Fungi]

I've never liked WTF Buck. Pack your bags and hit the trail. He got injured again.

[ArgoDave]

true i guess. Better get some luck then.

Also where do argos fans sit in Ivor?

I am not going to this game but I may want to go to the other one as I've never been to ivor before.

Don't sit in Box G certain Ticat fans call that "Shockers Corner" and an obnoxious twit named Ben Lawrence and his drunk friends make a point of harassing fans of other teams all game till they leave in disgust. Security will do nothing to stop them. I sat there for years but no longer.

[ArgoDave]

The Argonotes will not be attending. After a bad experience at the Labour Day classic the year before last Steve decided, for our own safety, that the Argonotes will not attend any more games in Hamilton (a decision I fully support). I don't think the ban is going to be lifted any time soon.

Not surprising, fan hostility at Ivor has been ramping up for last few years. I had a catfan friend recommend to me to come to games in Hamilton incognito to avoid harassment since I'm not the type to just sit there with a sh*t eating grin and take abuse like some do but I won't do that.

Wow. I find that very odd.

[Mulder]

Wow. I find that very odd.

Not really. Considering most of the players live in Mississusga or Oakville. It's about a 30 minute drive MAX to the stadium. Even from downtown Toronto 1 hour ish. Cheaper for the team to just reimburse gas instead of having everyone meet somewhere for a bus. or 2

[Fungi]

Wow. I find that very odd.

I find that odd as well. A first string player should be in `La-la` land before a game, not driving the highway before a special game. Hell, all games are special. I`ve been in traffic before where you needed a six-pack to unwind. Take a bus Argos.
I also love how Ticat fans on this sight have nothing to say about how worse it has gotten in their town concerning the animosity towards Argo fans.

Concur....

I think this way they can drive down early and relax at the stadium. For the guys in Oakville it's a stones throw to Hamilton.

[Argocister]

Game day is on! I'm pumped for this game ...... Maybe later in the season I'll be nervous, but it's early enough that I want to see the improvements in the team. That are "gelling" well, and it's good to see new things happening on the field.

O-Line do your duty, PROTECT Ricky Ray!
Receivers and Running Backs PROTECT that ball!
And Most fun of all, ..... Defense, CREATE HAVOC!
Looking forward to the game , heading down with 6 of us..... Mind you my husband is a kitten, and one other is a Ticat fan as well, but the rest of us will be yelling ..... ARGOOOOoOoOoOoOOoOOOoS!

[Wobbler]

Pretty much every team in the league has had a radically different performance from week-to-week so far. We look like the better team, but who knows? Fingers crossed.

[1argoholic]

We always have trouble no matter the players going into Hamilton. Hopefully this is our year to win a few there.

[marcwagz]

with a little luck, and a lot of RAY, we should come home victorious!

[Stevoman]

I'm cautiously optimistic. Here's hoping for the win but I know there will be some hungry Ticats out there looking for their first win. If we can pull it out we get a reeling Bombers team on Wednesday and its possible that we could quickly be 3-1.

I really love the unpredictability of our defence. We have a lot of different formations, and have been getting pressure out of several of them.
