Scoring Winger
|
Looked like a fun afternoon at McMahon, but ticket prices are still a complete joke. You can’t make cuts this year and do season-ticket holders dirty like that. Hopefully CSEC takes a hard look in the mirror in the offseason and slashes prices across the board. Given the current state of the CFL, nothing should cost more than $99.
Edit: 25-50 bucks a pop for most of the stadium to be honest

6-0 against the Riders, Bombers and Ti-Cats (who are a combined 20-4 against the rest of the league). And 1-3 against Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto (who are a combined 7-22).

Two of the losses were because Vernon was injured. Stamps are good enough to be 9-1.

I think they’re okay to price as is for when Saskatchewan is in town. I went to the game it was pretty much sold out and tons of people, I didn’t see many empty seats at all.
Agree with you with literally any other team though.

I think we have to give credit to the Stamps and Dave for the job they did in recruiting especially on defense, not only do I believe its the best defense in the CFL, its also I think the youngest.
With all the injuries on offense, we've show a huge amount of depth.
On the coaching side, this is the Dave that's been missing for the last couple of years. Sharp on the adjustments, leaving the DC alone to do his own thing. Dave can just be a QB whisperer with Vernon and Vernon sells the offense.
This is a really exciting team to watch, its young, tons of energy, plays fast (not just footspeed), plays physical.
Its not the 90's but its still a team that is spitting in the face of expectations.

The change in defense from last year is incredible. It was a complete makeover with 12 new starters.

Remember when 3DownNation ranked the Stamps last in their early season power rankings because they thought the defense was going to be a problem? They were kind of right. The defense has been a problem.........for the opposition that is.

I believe I heard just under 28,300.

The Stampeders have only one game left this season against an opponent that currently has a winning record (at Hamilton, Oct. 11). Saskatchewan plays the Bombers 3 times. Now that we own the tie breaker, we're in a really good spot to end up hosting the West final.
Long ways to go, but it's impressive where the Stamps have positioned themselves, going 6-0 against Hamilton, Winnipeg, and Saskatchewan.

Man the Stamps were like a bear playing with their food in the 1st half, then easily dispached the Riders again by lightly putting their foot on the gas in the second half.
Even after that ridiculous joke of a freebie Sask couldn't grab onto right at the beginning, it wasn't really a contest. A lot of fun though.

Nothing better than seeing live a steady stream of green jerseys leaving McMahon early.

Bob Slowik really revamped the way the D plays. Such a change from Monson.

Celebrated Square Root Day
|
28295 in attendance. I was watching ticketmaster all week and honestly based on what seats were selling, if they had removed a couple tarps up top and sold for $25-$30 they easily could have had another thousand or two in there. Likely would have broke 30k.
The only time tickets sales slowed was when those absurd $150 upper middle seats were the only ones left.

VA is not prime Burris, but at times it seems like we're in a time machine back to 2008.

You're right, but after watching Maier for 4 seasons VA is the second coming of Jesus. I bow before him this year, haha.

Even with limited Maier time in the 4th, watching him throw a 5 yard pass on 2nd and Long into a covered receiver - it made me shake my head. I dont miss those days.
It baffles me how he put up so many throwing yds here
