They also had Buono win coach of the year, Sapunjis win MOC and Flutie win MOP.
Was an amazing and comparable year until they lost the West Final to Edmonton in the infamous -40 game and as a result didn't get to play in the Grey Cup at home which was played at McMahon the following week between Edmonton and Winnipeg, in absolutely beautiful weather too BTW.
Hopefully this season doesn't end with that kind of disappointment. If they come through on Sunday this will easily be the best season the Stampeders have ever put forth.

Some of my biggest sports heartbreak moments as a kid were those early-mid 90s Stamps teams. 94 Darren Flutie hurt me even more than 93 cuz the game went down to the final play, and that 94 team felt even more dominant to me than 93 if that's possible. I'd wager the difference in this case is the forecast in Toronto for Sunday is predicted at +4; no stupid early Canadian winter squall to level the playing field.
Thank Jebus there was none of that last Sunday either, the weather has been quite forgiving for Stamps playoff games the past 3 years for a change.
