95th Grey Cup
I know some people who went to Toronto today. Not the players, but the fans. Rider fans all of them. I fear for the watermelon market here in Canada!
i'll eat some crow at work tomorrow. i publicly stated Blue & Gold would win todays game. The Gunslinger (Dinwiddie) started his first ever CFL game in the Coup de Grey. That could have gone either way; he's either a monster quarterback, or human and fallable. Not to put the whole game on Din's back, but he was the latter with brief flashes of the former. I was holding out hope that they might win, and with 2 minutes left in the game, they were poised to do just that. It was not that year for Stegall. One more year Milt, one more year for your Hall of Fame career... get that ring. The Bomber defense was amazing, and with Glenn back as QB, or another year of experience for Dinwiddie, the Bombers can compete for the 96th, in Montreal next November.
I talked about story lines a lot, and especially why, as a Lions fan i was rooting for the Bombers. How about Kerry Joseph's story. Not just his testimony as an active member of AIA, but his playing flag football down in the states a couple of years ago. Well done KJ, your running game is what broke the bomber defense down time and time again.

I've got that.... Rider Pride... that feeling deep down inside... that Rider Pride!!!!
:D
woot!
what a thoroughly unimpressive display of offense from both sides. Definitely not going down in the record books as a 'greatest ever' game in Grey Cup history. ;)

Jeff, are wearing a watermelon? you can be honest...
it was a disappointing display of offense, to be sure. The defense tho, wow... both sides had a reasonably strong nite on D. If the blue and gold could have held KJ from running over 100 yards i think they would have pulled off a victory. That interception thrown for a TD didn't help either. Heck, the winnipeg defense almost made as many points as the offense gave away.
