Go Cats!
I was watching on TSN, looked like a pretty solid crowd (even for Toronto) although the 500's weren't open (never are for cfl games).

Yes, now THAT is a football club! THANK YOU DANNY MAC! We need you on our sidelines EVERY game (and practice) so we have more games like this.

Kudos to Lumsden & Tre Smith as well. AWESOME GAME, guys!!

CFL Player of the week (imo): JESSE LUMSDEN, 189 yds rushing, 2 TDs last night!!! Wowsers!

edit: Roger's Centre attendance last night 30,822. <-- good stuff!

It was a great game to watch last night.

I can't remember one of the Ti Cats receiver name but he didn't catch a ball but an Argo came in and just plowed him in circles haha. That's football lol.

Lancaster fights lung cancer

Rick Zamperin
8/6/2008

Ron Lancaster has battled through adversity as a player and as a coach in the CFL.

Now, the Canadian Football Hall of Famer is battling lung cancer.

The 69-year old native of Fairchance, Pennsylvania was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago and will now begin radiation and chemotherapy treatment at the Juravinski Cancer Centre.

A battery of tests has forced Lancaster to step away from the Tiger-Cats broadcasts on CHML and Y108 this season, but he is hopeful to return as colour analyst.

Lancaster started his career as a quarterback with the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1960.

"The Little General" was traded to Saskatchewan in 1963 where he played for another 16 seasons, leading the Roughriders to the 1966 Grey Cup championship.

He won the Schenley Award as most outstanding player in 1970 and '76.

Lancaster became Saskatchewan's head coach immediately after the 1978 season, but stumbled to back-to-back 2-and-14 seasons and was let go.

Lancaster then joined the CBC and spent the next decade as a colour analyst for the network's CFL broadcasts.

He also served as a basketball colour commentator at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul.

Lancaster returned to football in 1991, coaching the Edmonton Eskimos for seven season, where he won a Grey Cup in 1993.

He also surpassed Hugh Campbell for top spot on the club's list for coaching wins in 1996.

Lancaster became the 17th head coach in Hamilton Tiger-Cats history on November 26, 1997.

He coached the Cats from 1998 to 2003 and took the team to the Grey Cup twice (1998, 1999) winning it in 1999.

In 2006, Lancaster was re-hired as the team's interim head coach after the firing of Greg Marshall.

Lancaster’s 142 career regular-season wins, place him 5th on the CFL’s career regular season wins list.

He was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1982 and the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in 1985.

Bunch of pussies. Lumsden especially, everytime he gets bumped around he's off for a game or two.

^^ Lumsden will never get to the NFL w/ that attitude!
Rumour has it he'll be in Edmonton next year anyway... just watch.

As for Printers, I'm sick of him! I've given him enough chances to do anything, and he's maybe come thru with half-a-dozen good plays. He's a waste of money and a cry-baby!

HOWEVER they aren't the problems, it's Taafe! How the man kept his job after last season I'll never EVER understand!?!?

Lumsden's shot at the NFL is done.

He's very talented, but he's too tall and runs too upright to be a feature back in the NFL. It's already causing him problems up here.

Loved watching him at MAC though.

^^ Ya, really. I didn't think anyone could suck more than the Ti-Cats lately. But, as the saying goes, 'Argos Suck!'

Labour Day: Bring it On!

... now if only we could fig out a way to play no one else BUT the Argos this year...

Some good news for the Tiger Cats' future re: the Bills in TO 2nite:

Quote:
Despite the anticipated protest, Toronto's NFL experiment will begin with a whimper rather than a much-anticipated bang.

High ticket prices - an average of $183 per game and a $575 top price - prevented what many had expected to be a quick sellout of the Bills' games in Toronto. The $183 figure is double the highest-priced average ticket in the NFL last year (which was sold in New England).

So while there will be a capacity crowd of 54,000 at Rogers Centre, it won't officially be a sellout. Earlier this week, Bills officials announced tickets for the contest had been "distributed."
Canadian Press
http://canadianpress.google.com/arti...umOcmqJH0qGEng

I heard there were 20,000-30,000 seats unsold for this game. If this is true, then Roegrs' would have wasted $78 million on this! Wow. I guess I'll be paying for MY incoming txts too pretty soon :s hahaha

I wonder if they'll ever reveal the #s?
