Its always strange to me that they dont do a grey cup rematch for game 1 of the season.


Not a fan of the BYE week being in week 2 though.

The 50-year-old native of Spiro, Okla. joined the school’s coaching staff in 2024 as quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator. His son, Armand, is a redshirt freshman receiver who caught 17 passes for 222 yards and two touchdown in 2025.

True story. When my ex-wife was pregnant with my first son we ended up in the same Foothills Hospital newborn baby class as Burris and his wife pregnant with Armand. Crazy how time flies.

Yeah that wouldn't be a bad idea although the first few weeks of the CFL season are glorified preseason and maybe you don't want to see a Grey Cup rematch when the teams are playing pretty sloppy football.

Feel for the Argo fans though, No home games until week 10.

6 home games this year - hopefully its not a death blow to the franchise.

Interesting to have a regular season game in Kelowna

I still don't get why they don't start the season earlier and finish by end of October.

IIRC they're doing that for 2027?

Yes, not quite ending at the end of October, but getting darn close.

The CFL is moving its schedule up one week in 2027, a spokesperson has confirmed to 3DownNation.

The adjustment was unveiled on Monday as part of the announcement for the location of the 114th Grey Cup, which has been awarded to Regina, Sask. The game will be played on Sunday, November 7, 2027, making it the earliest Grey Cup of all-time.
