Post by ArgoRavi »

I am not sure this is the wildest ending you will ever see but the preseason action is interesting nonetheless.

In 1974, Saskatchewan traveled to Toronto for a pre season game with large roster etc. Think about that. Today Argos play Hamilton twice, a 50 km bus trip. Not really 25 km from Guelph. The finances of the league were better 50 years ago on a relative basis.

There was also no full interlocking schedule at the time, which means that Saskatchewan would have only played in Toronto in alternating years.

It also makes me want to fire up a Players navy cut smoke just like I used to in 1974 when I was 7 years old. Good times!
