the game is too close to call, but I say the Stampeders will win 29-27.

I know that there are many options including staying at home, but for those who are going out to their local watering hole, where are you going?

What an awesome Mayor we have.

Trash talks the Argos by saying he will use their jersey to wipe down his slushy car, flies economy and is staying with friends rather than in a hotel.

Several local boys relishing the opportunity to bring the Cup back to Calgary (Rob Cote and Matt Walter will be the only ones to see any action due to injuries and scratches though).

Woot Go Matt Go! I told him last week to tell Hufnagel that the Stamps are 14-2 with him in the line up this year! hehe

I don't think he will ever be on the practice roster ever again.

Should be an easy win for the Stamps but the type of game they always kill themselves in.

38-18 Stamps.

#goblue refers to U of Mich. Calgarians it's not a Grey Cup reference.

Interesting article on how Jim Barker acquired Ricky Ray from the Eskimos (and how Henry Burris was the original target)

The plan to get Ricky Ray, or someone of his ilk, Barker says, was born long before the frenzied week of discussion that led to the longtime Edmonton star heading to Toronto. The seeds, it seems, were sown as far back as the moment Barker took over as head coach and general manager, in 2010.

2009 starter Kerry Joseph and the remaining three quarterbacks were released as Barker felt he didn't want to go with someone who "was just a good enough player that you keep him around. I felt it was best to wipe the slate clean and bring in some young guys. (But) my goal all along was that, in 2012, to hopefully have a veteran quarterback that had been to Grey Cups."

The Cleo Lemon experiment followed and failed. In 2011, Barker made a deal with Winnipeg to bring in quarterback Steven Jyles who, along with kicker Grant Shaw and a first round 2012 draft pick, was peddled to the Eskimos in the Ray deal. If Barker's plan all along was to bring in a quarterback who'd already won a Grey Cup or two, Jyles was not one who'd fit the bill in time for the 100th game.

"He was always a huge fan of Steven Jyles," said Barker of Tillman, fired three weeks ago as Edmonton general manager. In that, Barker felt he may have the makings of a deal, although he was far from sure at the outset that he could make it happen. Oddly enough, Jyles' presence on the Argo roster, Barker thought, might be helpful in the team getting a veteran quarterback from Calgary, not Edmonton.

"I honestly believed there was a chance Henry (Burris) could come here," said Barker. "I knew that they were ready to make that move. With Steven Jyles it gave us a chance to maybe get him."

However, shortly after Barker hired Scott Milanovich to be the new Argos' head coach last November 30th, the two met to look at film and discuss personnel plans going forward. Barker didn't divulge exactly what was said in those sessions but it was decided to place a call to Tillman and the Eskimos. To see if there was any chance they'd part with Ray.

Intersting fact:

If the Stampeders win tomorrow this will be the first time an NHL team has their name on the Grey cup. The Stampeders are majority owned by the Calgary Flames Limted Partnership. That would be printed on the Grey cup as owner of the team. So come on Calgary Flames Fans. Lets get the Flames name printed on the GREY CUP!!!!

Happy Grey Cup Sunday everyone. The best day of the year to be a Canadian.

Been a fun season to watch, here's to the best team winning today.

Game day !! Let's do this! Go Stamps Go and yes it is your time KG

[Bertuzzied]

I love the CFL!

Go Stamps Go!

[Hockey_Ninja]

Looking forward to the game! GO STAMPS!

Stamps have the better team but sometimes it feels like these games can come down to Quarterbacks and I sure do like Ricky Ray over Kevin Glenn. And yes the Argos are capable of winning this game without any ref conspiracy on their side or total Stamps collapse. This is a good Toronto team when Ricky Ray is healthy.Hopefully it's an exciting, close game and one that all CFL fans enjoy. Go Argos!
