Definitely rooting for Hamilton, in part because they're a likeable team compared to Montreal and Toronto, and in part because I think the stamps match up well against them.

[OzSome]

I don't mind the Alouettes except for that cheapshot artist Kyries Hebert. But yeah I picked Montreal to win because I think they have more veteran players on defense and Crompton is really playing well throwing to speedster Duron Carter and SJ Green. As far as who I want to win, I think I am hoping for Hamilton Tigercats.

[OzSome]

Jonathan Crompton looks so calm out there. Montreal just scored a touchdown with 7:04 minutes left in the first quarter. Crompton to SJ Green.

Montreal 7-0

[OzSome]

Hamilton just returned a punt return for a TD..... but guess what?? hamilton got called for holding penalty on the return. TD nullified. Brad Banks was so ticked off even before he got to the end zone. He knew the flag is against them. He was fuming throwing his helmet and stuff.

Ouch!! Helmet to helmet collission. Brouillette down after the collision with Luke Tasker.

[OzSome]

Crazy game. Collaros fumbled the ball and Montreal recovered. Next play Crompton threw an interception and Hamilton scored TD after a few plays. Oh yeah Kyries Hebert got called for roughing penalty again after tackling Collaros with his arm hitting Collaros' side of the head. What a freaking dirty player! Hamilton 10-7.

[OzSome]

Montreal scored a TD again. Crompton threw a TD pass to SJ Green.

Montreal 14-10 with 4:29 to go in the first half.

[OzSome]

Collaros just missed a throw in the end zone to Banks. Justin Medlock kicked a FG and it is good.

Montreal 14-13 with 1:14 left in the 1st half.

[OzSome]

Brandon Banks just retuned a punt for a touchdown. No penalty.

Hamilton 20-14 with 26 seconds left in the 1st half.

According to Rod Black, who tries to make every 15 yard catch call into the immaculate reception, that was the greatest play in the history of the football.

Just a regular kick return...as with most kick returns, it takes a mix of speed and proper setup, and some defenders missing assignments, for the returner to get to edge...once that have that edge, whether its 20 yards or 60 yards to go, with really only the punter running backwards and maybe one other defender also running backwards, its pretty much a TD.

He won't stop talking about that play for the rest of the game, probably into next season.

After 2 quarters Hamilton ahead 20-14 over Montreal. What an exciting game, lots of offense. Banks returned a couple of punts for a TD.. this guy is quick and fast. Unfortunately the first punt return TD was called off because of a holding penalty. Other TD by Hamilton was scored a run by Nic Grigsby and Medlock also kicked a couple of FG.

Jonathan Crompton threw a couple of TD passes to SJ Green. The second was aided by a successful PI challenged call by Tom Higgins. Duron Carter was pushed to the sideline on that non-PI call. After Montreal winning the PI challenge, Crompton threw a TD pass to SJ Green.

[OzSome]

Crompton intercepted. After the play there was a unnecessary roughness penalty 15 yard penalty on Duron Carter. Hamilton on the red zone.

Edit : Not on a red zone. They ruled Hamilton down on contact in the 40 yard line.

[OzSome]

Hamilton TD.

Nic Grigsby run for a TD from a 5 yard line. Hamilton capitalized on that INT. 27-14 Hamilton.

[OzSome]

Crompton overthrew the ball at the end zone. 3rd down and 9. Sean Whyte successful in his FG attempt.

Hamilton 27-17 with 41 seconds left in the third quarter.

[OzSome]

Crompton fumbled the ball and Hamilton recovered but field judge called it down by contact. Hamilton threw a challenge flag.

[OzSome]

Not enough video evidence of a fumble. 3rd down and 9. Whyte to punt the ball from the 50 yard line.

[browna]

Brand new stadium (yes, I know refurbished), but have both teams still on the same sidelines.

[OzSome]

Crompton hit a wide-open SJ Green 63-yards TD. Offside penalty on Hamilton so TD counts.

We have ourselves a ballgame. Hamilton 27-24 with a little over 9 minutes in the ballgame.

[OzSome]

Collaros tried to answer back with 24 yards completion throw on Grigsby.

Grigsby fumbled the ball on the next play. Luckily Hamilton Simmons recovered the ball.
