Not a fan either. But also not a fan of the "loser point". Either make all games worth 3 points (3 for a reg win, 2 for an OT/Shootout win, 1 for an OT/SO loss, 0 for a regulation loss) or all games are only worth 2.
Edmonton Elks introduce their new Head Coach and re-sign their quarterback Tre Ford. Special guest Andrew Hoskins (Turf District podcast) joins the show. The newest episode of Third Down Gamble is available: “Willing to spend”. Please download, listen, and share.

Happy heavenly birthday to my favorite WR, Christian Saulsberry. Taking too soon, he should be spending his 27th birthday with us. 😭 He is forever in our hearts. 💚💛 #goelks #saulsberry25
Dude.... that's my skull!
Exactly - I collect every Edmonton home and away ticket that I can find, going back to 1953 so far. So many yet to find but as you say, nothing really after COVID and many gone long before that.
Should be a great time!
Have a great time! The set lists look great
@jedichick79.bsky.social and I are going to see them opening for Our Lady Peace in February in Edmonton. Gonna be a great show.
Great point. Sadly I believe 2018 was the first Grey Cup that didn't have a program produced (though Daryl Slade did a fine replica roster card), so a lot of ephemera collectors are seeing their collectibles coming to a finite end point.
So it's possible (even likely) that a program was not produced for that game. With it being the 100th Grey Cup that year, it surprises me, but in some ways, I guess it doesn't.
Any of my #CFL peeps out there know if programs were made for the 2012 East Semi-Final in Toronto? Trying to track down a copy, but not even sure if any where made! Anyone got confirmation out there?
i am so excited to open my secret Santa present from Andrew 😍 I mean it's a complete surprise, but if it happened to be 👇 I'll be thrilled www.aurrawoodco.com/products/foo...
Hey #CFL peeps - what do you have on your Xmas list this year? Let other fans know what great stuff is out there!
It comes up all the time, but there were two different leagues in Canada (WIFU and IRFU/Big-4) that merged, which is why we had two teams with similar names in the first place. Part of the amazing history of our league!
In the SEC in US College football, there are 16 teams- 3 different clubs (LSU, Auburn, Mizzou) are the Tigers and 2 (Mississippi State and Georgia) are the Bulldogs. Two Roughriders/Rough Riders? No biggie.
That's just good bonding time
That's an important job!
Based on the last two years the CFL schedule is less than 3 weeks away
Oh, I do adore you 💚💚

I remember the 1977 West Final - Edmonton won 38-1 in the last playoff game at Clarke Stadium. Was a freezing cold game for sure, and Lui Passaglia said it was like kicking a block of cement.
Please do me a favour and don't tag me in the dad jokes on here. My notifications got spammed like crazy on the old platform and I had to mute everyone. Thanks!
BC Lions? Or a GC?
50 years ago today, I watched my very first #CFL game - Edmonton vs Montreal in the 1974 #GreyCup, and have been hooked ever since. Have met so many incredible friends in those decades and can't wait for next season!
