Game Thread: Argos vs. TiCats Saturday Aug. 22 7:00 PM CNE Game - Carnies, Corn Dogs, and Canadian Football

Forecast is calling for rain....that has to give the advantage to Hamilton with Ford running designed plays.

It also equalizes his running threat depending on rain amount. It is natural grass. Rain will slow the field down.

A 240-pound battering ram like Qualon Jones could be just the ticket for a sloppy field. He’s shown in the past he can catch the ball too. I’m excited to see him play.

It looks like 10 mm will fall during the day prior to kickoff and another 5 mm will fall throughout the game itself. Factor in pre game warm up, and the game itself, field conditions will be put to the test (sorry...Pitch conditions).
No walking around CNE today unfortunately. I will be coming for the game itself and getting under the roof.
The good news is lightning seems to be out of the picture this evening. It is just a rain event.

With the rain maybe Kelly tucks the ball & goes around the end on occasion to keep Hamilton honest.

Storm Watch

Now the afternoon looks okay. And lightning may be a factor in game. Bring It!

Bring on the Corn Dogs and Vagrant Carnies.

Lightning here. They sent everyone to the concourse. Starting on time is in doubt.

I am not convinced this game will be played tonight, looking at the forecast. I guess it will be played tomorrow afternoon if not tonight. Hopefully, things will get better at some point tonight.

I guess they'll give it until 10 pm before postponing the game entirely?

Looking at the radar, lightning may not be much of a factor by 8 pm.
