Damn I'm an idiot! I wasted too much time trying to figure out how to spell one of the names (won't spoil it) that I only got 31 right. Missed a number of obvious ones, including one with a highly notable playoff game. I blame the Grey Cup hangover. :D Looking at the list, I should have easily got 10 more. Shouldn't be kicking myself over this game, but I am.

I think this quiz should be sent out to all who attended the 100th Grey Cup or who climbed aboard the good ship Argo within the past 2 weeks. Or at least give them this one: http://www.sporcle.com/games/g/cflteams

55/60 - took the whole 10 min (I'll print screen it if you don't believe me lol)

You spelled McCollough wrong! I knew JFG but didn't know how to spell his name, same with Desriveaux. I remembered Cadogan but I misspelled his name as well. The only one I totally didn't know was Wayne Smith. Forget he even existed because of his injury.

I was stuck on some and after 8 min I finally noticed their college was posted next to their position. I also wasted time spelling the first names which wasn't needed.

I posted my incorrect answers hoping people read this after attempting it.

No I spelled Van Zeyl wrong. I wasted the last 3 minutes on the guy!! I dumbly omitted McCollough, as well as Ball, Parenteau, Gagne-Marcoux, and Jarious Jackson (a man that touched the ball in pretty much every game if not all of them) among others. I'm taking a bunch of other quizzes in various sports to get my confidence back.

55/60. I stupidly missed both Blacks, Kouame and Gagne-Marcoux -- no excuse. I also missed Cadogan, which I can forgive.

Yeah, but how did you do on the quiz?

I would say that they all contributed.

Some in bigger ways, and some in smaller ways.


The 100th Grey Cup Champions, The Toronto Argonauts !

They spelled a couple names wrong! At least according to the Argo depth chart it's MCCOLLOUGH and CADOGEN instead of McCullough and Cadogan.

I fixed the spelling on McCollough, but the spelling is Cadogan not Cadogen.

Pretty easy when you have a pause button and the roster chart next to you. they should really re-think these games but at least it was a good exercise in knowing the champs better.

Calgary and Montreal deserve a nod too. You didn't even have to beat BC.

We didn't have to beat B.C. but I am confident that we would have if we had had another shot at them in the Grey Cup.

sometimes it works out that way. BC didn't beat hamilton in 2011. In 1977, the alouettes never beat the argos.

If there's one team that's gotta be hanging their heads in shame for their lack of finish this year, it's BC.

To rephrase that. Easy when you cheat.

The games are made for those who don't need to cheat. ;)

I named 35 Argonauts of the top of my head in 10 minutes, which is pretty good. I bet not too many sports media types in this city can do that.

Argos do not make it to a ton of GC games. But when they do ... they tend to win.
