The Argonotes sounded good!
The Argonotes sounded good!
Argos Season Ticket Holder 2016-2021.
It was a long drive home last night, just as it was last week. Owen Sound to Hamilton, two return trips, means twelve hours on the road, haunted by the specter of Argos' ineptitude in all three phases of the ball that has already been reported, in excruciating detail, on this thread. Odd, isn't it? Until last night, from a competitive standpoint, Montreal and BC were given up for dead. I marvel at how rapidly the landscape can change on the heels of one game. Will the Argos rise from the dead next week?
Difficult to identify anything positive. Offensively, one particular instance set the tone: early in the game they were second and three. Harris threw for a two-yard completion and they had to punt. Shades of Tony "10 of 10 for 10 yards" Adams. Defensively, they were so vanilla, I thought I was watching a preseason game.
Bottom line, Coach Milanovich was right: No excuses.
thanks, eh. Despite all the weirdness and difficulty getting people out, we had fun. THF is actually a pretty good setup bandwise, it's a shame the Ticats don't have their own band any more.
I think we had the largest per-capita CFL pep band in history. 25 in the band, 3,741 in the crowd; one band member for each 150 spectators. Saskatchewan's band will need 200 or more people to beat that at their next home game :-)

Faster + Louder = Better
High per-capita band music is my second favourite genre!
As per Dave Naylor prior to last night's game and it was also mentioned by Gordon Miller during the game, the new Argo ownership are giving the team and it's families a tour of BMO field today. 45 players signed up. A great gesture and IMO just a taste of the fine ownership this team will bring starting in January.
That sounds great and should also help keep some of the dozens of guys who would want to bail on Toronto after this year. Perhaps some might see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Yeah that's to bad to hear argoholic! As going to Argo games are my favorite things to do in the summer just sucks that we had incompetent owners and pricks in Rogers screwing all Argo fans over. Let's just hope us Argo fans can make some noise for the next two games with anti Rogers signs and chants and hope we can have some kind of protest to go along with it.
Nice to hear that this new ownership group has a pulse when it comes to the Argos! But these guys are going to need to do a lot more work then just to open a door to a building that ml$e built for me to pat them on there back. Dont think for a second that these owners can just snap there fingers come July and expect a decent crowd to see the Argos play.I hope the last couple of weeks of crowds of 3,400 and 3,700 at thf opened some eyes to realize how much damage this team is really in.
I really don't think that you have to worry about this, Rocket. Both Bell and Tanenbaum will be highly-motivated to make the Argos a success. I suspect that you will see a marketing campaign like you haven't seen since at least the early 1990s around the Argos next season and for years to come.
Cameron Dukes + Dan Adeboboye + Kevin Mital + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force
Yes I do hope you are right! I will be holding my fingers crossed for that to happen. Not to impressed on how they are just waiting tell January to take over the team then wait tell who knows when with a marketing campaign. Some of this stuff should be worked out as this season was going on.
It's my observation, from the press conference and previous negotiations, that this group does not get along with the current ownership and want to distance themselves as far as possible. It's probably best, they wait until they are actual owners before truly going forward with the team. No Braley, no legality and no Rogers fiasco to deal with. The team is all theirs and every decision can be made with no permission from, or money going to anyone else.
Whatever it may be the new owners need to act now and quickly. How much attention will this team be able to get in the off season? Instead of trying to do a quick hit and run by hosting a grey cup next year more focus should be put in the Argos season. With an nba all star game, world hockey championship being played in Toronto next year and with the jays projected to be in the same place next year how much attention will they be able to get leading up to a grey cup in November. 1992 grey cup in Toronto was considered a big failure with many people organizing the game complaining how hard it was to get attention because of the blue jays coming off a World Series.
I am sitting in Sun Life Stadium watching Miami Dolphins lead Houston by 41 - 0 at half time 48 hours after Hamilton.What is with the one sided games I am attending this week? Houston looks like they stole a page from the Argos Friday night game.

That's more or less how Leiweke hinted at it as well. “As to us buying them, on a stand-alone basis, we have no interest in the Argos, but because of the uniqueness of what we have to go through to get the stadium, we are certainly intertwined.”
