GAME NOTES : (based on Calgary Herald, Saturday edition)

CALGARY

WR Jeff Fuller(shoulder), RB Matt Walter(concussion), RB Martell Mallett(groin), OG Brander Craighead(ankle), WR Brad Sinopli(upper body), DT Micah Johnson(knee), LB Max Caron(knee), DL DeQuin Evans, CB Brandon McDonald, DT Freddie Bishop III(undisclosed), LS Randy Chevrier are OUT. Herald also listed RB Jock Sanders(rib) and LB Glenn Love(hamstring) injured.

According to Calgary Stampeders Depth Chart tweet FB Rob Cote, RB Hugh Charles, WR Sederrick Cunningham, LB Yannick Carter and LB Maalik Bomar will be OUT on Labour Day Classic game. RB Jock Sanders, WR Maurice Price, LB Glenn Love, FB Charlie Power and DT Corey Mace are IN. Cote and Charles was put on 1-game injured list.

EDMONTON :

QB Mike Reilly(hand), R Fred Stamps(lower body), SB Jamal Miles(undisclosed), WR Akeem Foster, RB Noel Devine(lower body), RB John White(broken finger), SB Patrick Robertson(knee), OL Justin Sorensen(knee), OL Tony Washington(undisclosed), OL Chris Mercer(undisclosed), OL Thadeus Coleman(shoulder), DB Joe Burnett(knee), DB Robert Sands(hamstring), DL Marcus Howard(thumb) and DL Don Oramansionwu(knee) are OUT.

*************************************************

So it looks like the 2 former Eastern Washington QBs Bo Levi Mitchell of Calgary and Matt Nicholls of Edmonton will be starting against each other. Another Eastern Washington alumni LB JC Sherritt will also start for Edmonton on defense.

Not sure what happened to Rob Cote but of all the games Cornish needed him most today. Rob Cote is by far one of the best FB in the CFL blocking for RB Jon Cornish. I would have want to see Cunningham play again this week especially as a returner. RB Hugh Charles actually I thought was good as Cornish backup last week but everyone knows Sanders is the backup RB and the main returner for this team so those two are out. Hopefully Sanders is healthy enough to help the Stampeders kick some Green and Gold behind.

Maurice Price is back!! Unfortunately we are going to miss Jeff Fuller in the lineup. Mo & Joe Show is back again for at least one of the Battle of Alberta game. Hufnagel says Joe West will miss the Friday in Edmonton to attend his brother's funeral.

DT Corey Mace is also back. Before the injury, Mace been dominant on the line. His replacement Junior Turner actually played well last week so we are looking good on DT along with Demonte Bolden who was so fired up on his first game last week. With Mace coming back, watch for the Sackmaster Charleston Hughes to get more room and I predict, he'll drop Nicholls at least a couple of times this game.

Last week the defensive unit did not allow any points vs Ottawa's offense. Hopfully a repeat this week sans defensive TD by Edmonton.

I am so pumped up for this game. No signature uniform for me yet but I'll still cheer my a$& out tomorrow.

GO STAMPS GO!!!
