OK WTF!!! Monday night at 4:30pm (EDIT: That`s Thanksgiving my bad). 3 Monday games, 1 Friday. Monday night football is an NFL thing and I have no clue what they are trying to accomplish. Anyone else not happy?

[KCargosfan]

I don't understand the league-wide Thursday games from week 4 through week 9?

I also don't get our Wednesday night game in week 4? That is odd. Are they intentionally trying to kill attendance?

The August 6th Monday games falls on Simcoe Day so it is also a holiday. The August 27th Monday doesn't seem to have any clear reasoning behind it.

There is also a Toronto FC home game that night at 7:00pm

Your Final Jeopardy Answer Is:

2012 Argos
2004 Argos
1983 Stampeders
1976 Stampeders
1973 Stampeders

Question: "Who are the only CFL teams to play a home game on each day of the week?" (going back to 1949.)

I was hoping it was only the 2012 Argos, mildly annoyed it's happened before as now I can't be quite as indignant about it.

no dude... it's sweet. check out the last time it happened to us

Sweet! 2004 all over again!

Here's some more trivia from today's schedule analysis. I know people think CFL teams should get into a rhythm and play all their games on the same day of the week, but consider this: Only two teams - the 1993 Sacramento Gold Miners and 1987 Montreal Alouettes ever played all their home games on the same day of the week.

Sacramento played all their home games on Saturday. Montreal played one home exhibition on Saturday, and then one road exhibition game, and then folded.

The Current edition of the Montreal Als play all their home games after Labour Day on Sunday. Only exception is Thanksgiving.

The Wednesday game home to Winnipeg following a Saturday game at Hamilton isn't great, but at least we hardly have to travel while Winnipeg's extra day of rest is offset by having to travel between road games.

I think they did this to Calgary 2 years ago, didn't they? I remember it being somewhat of a crappy game with Burris throwing 4 ints and both teams looking like they had just played 4 days earlier.

There was a game in 2007 where I think Calgary had played on the Sunday evening and we had played on the Saturday evening. It was on a Thursday night and Burris threw something like 4 INT's like you said. The Argos looked like anything but a team that had played 4 days earlier. They won 48-15.

Michael Bishop's finest performance as a pro (until he got hurt), IIRC.

Yes, it was, he was 18 of 23 for 273 yards up until he was injured in the 3rd quarter.

a potential trip to TO to see the als-argos june 19th and october 14th for me. Always enjoyable.

From a competitive viewpoint, I am satisfied with the Argos' schedule. They alternate between road and home games for their first 8 games of the season which is much better than last year's schedule which helped to put them in a hole that they could not recover from. The toughest part of the schedule this year will be after their eighth game when they play four out of five on the road but then they finish up with four out of five at home.

I certainly prefer the Argos' schedule to Winnipeg's. The Bombers play their first four on the road in B.C., Montreal, Edmonton and Toronto. The season could get very bad for the Bombers very quickly if they don't play well on the road early in the season.

I'll one can say is until they have their own home they'll get screwed by the Rogers. This will do zero for drawing more folks to games.

Nah, it had to be 2010 because I didn't follow the CFL before then and I'm pretty sure Lemon was our QB.

Or it may not matter at all since BC started last year 0-5 and then ended up getting home field advantage.

[DanTheFan]

I guess the Blue Jays have lots of home weekend games. It's good to hear some of these home games fall on holidays though. At least now I can plan which games I'd like to attend. The BC game is looking the most interesting to me.

[argolio]

Please, no more depressing (lack of a) new stadium talk!

It was 2010. It was the Argos' home opener and Jeff Johnson scored the game-winning TD in the final couple of minutes.

[Argoholics]

I'd love to hear the honest commentary from Chris Rudge on how the sched played out because this schedule is shite, no consistency what so ever. The Rogers Centre and Rogers themselves, IMHO, look at the Argos as an irritant, and would rather them go away.
