Remarkably, the game that Calvillo threw for 550 yards, the Posse lost that game 54-50.

I remember that game. It was a thriller between two bad teams.

That was one ugly defense the Argos had in 1993.

Every time I see 601 on a microwave or digital clock etc....I think back to Danny Barretts career game. Not kidding.

I think it is actually one of the few decent games that Tracy Ham had as Argos QB.

I remember Mike Kerrigan having a killer game early that season in Calgary but the Argos ended up losing a heartbreaker.

Yeah, Kerrigan wasn't terrible in Toronto. Not someone you'd want as a franchise guy for sure, but was better than in his later Hamilton years.

There may be some very favourable matchups tomorrow for Chad Kelly to put up big numbers. Jonathan Edouard has been pressed into a starting role already for the Riders due to injuries in their secondary.

I liked Eduard when he was here. Always looked very capable whether it was at corner, half or even SAM
