CFL 2012 regular season thread

Wow, pretty weird about Reinboldt situation. I thought the Als were very happy with his accomplishment this season. I guess not. That was a quick decision though. Maybe Tressman should talk to Chris Jones and steal him the way Toronto stole him from Stamps.

The Montreal Alouettes announced on Wednesday that Noel Thorpe has been named the team's defensive coordinator.

Thorpe will make his return to the CFL and the Alouettes after spending the last two seasons with the Université de Montréal Carabins. In 2012, with Thorpe as the team's first-year defensive coordinator, the Carabins finished the season with an 8-1 record while boasting the top defence in the country, allowing only 102 points in nine games. He was also the head coach of the gold-medal-winning Team Canada squad at last winter's IFAF U19 World Championship in Austin, TX.

IMO. Really solid choice by them to hire these man.

LOL, LOL. What's the rush, why not wait until after he's fired for having a defense so poor that despite having the CFL's leading offense, Hamilton was unable to fend off Edmonton in the cross-over to make the playoffs and actually ended up statisitcally in last place this year?

No kidding!! I thought Hamilton defense coach by Creehan was the worst in the CFL. Winnipeg might thinking about the older Creehan instead of the young one. Winnipeg should just go after a good DC who's under contract right now..hey it will cost $5,000 for tampering charges and maybe they can win the Grey Cup too. $5,000 for Grey Cup would be a good trade...look at what happen to the Argonauts.

Last year we needed a copy of an email for the early entry, i assume its the same this year.

Send me a PM if you can help a guy and his old man out!

Anyone else head down today?? Got there around 845am and it was lined up outside already...was probably 150 people in line by 9am. Was picked over by about 930 when I got in, but did manage to get a game worn "Labinjo" retro jersey for the mancave. Current team jerseys were $200 - $400 and helmets were $350-$525, so it wasnt cheap!

Was disappointed in the "sale" since there was really nothing good on sale, just big winter coats, womens t-shirts, and trinkets. All the jerseys, new gear, etc. were still full price. And there is no "memorabilia" at all there

Got there early but I forgot my season ticket holder email so I had to go back and get it By the time I got back the lineup had already begun inside the clubhouse. Picked up a retro and a couple of "alumni" alternate blacks.
