September 11, 2015: Hamilton Tiger-Cats vs. Toronto Argonauts

[Gill The Thrill]

I can't believe there will be people with basic cable that will not have access to watching a Hamilton-Toronto CFL game on their one TSN signal...crazy and why the league should never have gone away from having an over-the-air carrier that would have allowed every TV in Canada to have accessible CFL coverage. Truth was if you had basic cable with Rogers in Toronto, then you may not have seen a CFL game on TV in 5 years (including Grey Cups) as they offer Sportsnet Ontario, but no TSN.

That can't be good for ratings and shows how good ratings are despite access or how many people who still have cable don't just have basic cable?

As for the game, I'm hoping for a closer game than Monday's. Objectively predicting a Ticats win, but hopefully a good game.

Score Prediction - Hamilton 34 , Toronto 24. Argo secondary still the achilles heel of this team as the Ticats will make big plays that'll be the difference. Argo offence will hopefully perform better, but Milo will not lean on the running game enough to make a difference. If Kackert and Whitaker get the blocking and are given the ball, then the Argos may discover how to beat this Cats team the way Montreal has twice this season...with a solid ground game.

You do know that when the league had over-the-air carriers as their rights holders that not every game was televised, and even those that were televised were subject to blackout in the local market, right?

But that was known at the beginning of the season or when the schedule came out. TSN is changing the TV schedule on the day of the game like they did last week... That can't be good for an audience that's use to seeing games on their TSN signal no matter what.

LOL. You act like the CFL had a choice.

And to the general topic ...

I don't see any heads rolling even if the get blown out again.
