Any idea what ticket sales are at? Hoping we can crack 30,000. If there is a team and league that deserves some support it’s the CFL.

I wouldn't be surprised if Messam sits, although that could cause some havoc with the ratio. If that means more Rob Cote as a fullback on offense while rotating one of the Williams' and Roy Finch, I don't have a problem with it.

I'm not a great judge of how many are left by looking at the seat map, but I do know a crapload have disappeared in the last few days. It looks like about 28k, and if the weather forecast holds up I could certainly see a large walk up on Sunday.

Anthony Parker needs to sit. He is whatever the opposite of clutch is.

I sooo miss Cornish. I hope that Alouette loser burns in hell for ruining his career.

I’m really hoping for a big crowd. The weather keeps looking better and for a rivalry game there is no excuse for a small crowd. Sunday can’t come soon enough for me, absolutely cannot wait for kickoff.

Finally an article from the Athletic, by Scott Cruikshank no less.

Great story on DaVaris Daniels and his family.

Quote:
The kid – on the morning of Dec. 18, 2005 – turned to his dad Phillip, defensive lineman of the Washington Redskins, and made his request.
“It's crazy,” says DaVaris, “but I was like, 'Man, can you just get me one sack today?' And he's like, 'Yeah, I can get you one.'”
One? Phillip – unleashing a National Football League rampage the Dallas Cowboys won't soon forget – registered four sacks, equalling Dexter Manley's club record, and recovered one fumble, en route to conference defensive-player-of-the-week honours.
Happy birthday, indeed.

Thats not good. Messam and Finch as the RB duo don't inspire much confidence at all.

Richardson out also doesn't help.

Wall and Bell haven't played well this year, they better step up.

This game is going to be about Mitchell and his receivers. Go Stamps Go

Would have liked to have seen Terry Williams in the lineup as a running back, but who am I to question Dave Dickenson? Biggest loss as Da_Chief pointed out above is Shaq Richardson. Team is about as healthy as it could be though at this time of the season, let's go Stamps!!

Well Bo...mission accomplished. The team didn't show much of anything for a month.

Looks like about 30k already sold now, so if we could get a couple thousands walk up with the increasingly better forecast we could have a very solid crowd.
