just checking the RBs coaching staff to see who's calling the plays there (no OC listed, so I guess Lapo) and I see Alex Suber is their receivers coach. first CFL coaching gig for him. so another ex-bomber to root for there.

Trevor Harris throwing both kinds of passes tonight: dinks AND dunks.

every year they screw up one Bomber game. won't play either live or VOD.

Elks new duds look sharp but it kinda looks like they just image searched for Green Bay Packers and called it a day.

Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgos!

man I love those Joe Lobendahn plays where the guy on his way to the endzone gets run down by a hustling defender.

woops. missed those 3Q punts. yeah, that is weird. maybe instead of a lack of confidence in the ST it's a vote of confidence in the D?

sweet second third and fourth effort from 84 Toronto.

hell yeah Argo boat helmets. timeless. Argos pulling together, Macbeth throwin some daggers.

I am digging that bold red, pops real nice and isn't that dumb modern thing where a team tries to own a uniquely dull shade of a color, like say the seahawks.

if you're talking about us not going for the FG just before the half, that was a 52-yarder, which is a 50/50 kick even for a guy like Medlock. and then our fg team has to cover a dangerous return guy. was a low reward / high risk play and a good coaching decision; we wound up not needing the points.

Milt Stegall! Touchdown regal! always wondered if that was improvised in the moment or if Cuthbert had it in his pocket. I think it was the perfect call for a giant moment.

he was also listed as limited reps on the injury report all week with an elbow. we were talking about it here a bunch. it wasn't like it was a secret he was banged up.

RBs depth chart for tonight. Nichols listed as the starter but they've also listed a third QB which I think under the new roster rules means they can scratch him (Nichols) at game time, right?

oh hey! just discovered that yaretv, the weird little streaming provider that has carried the CFL in markets where they don't have a broadcast agreement, is doing the CFL again in 2021. It's region-locked but that's been easy to circumvent with a VPN in the past. US$85 gets you the whole season both live and VOD. @aalgernon I've used this service for a few years and it's not perfect but it's pretty good. https://cfl.yaretv.com/

here's a Mike Jones play I noticed. Ticats run a pretty-looking play with a lead blocker out in front of the receiver, the blocker has good positioning ... but Jones just goes thru the blocker Thiadric style, gets a little bit of body on the rec and slows him up so the bomber D can rally to the tackle. it was true in 2019 and is still true in 2021: the best way to club a Ticat is to use another Ticat.

I can't believe that after all the crazy **** in this game, it comes down to a shaky rookie kicker.

Nathan Rourke!

Durant having a rough time on the scramble drill there.

there's a dead ringer for Andrew Harris in a State Farm insurance commercial on ESPN. that is the most entertaining thing I've seen tonight. C'mon BC, show some damn pride.

98 BC trying to cost his team more yards, tossing fists after the play.

Riders gonna win this one, book it. Every year they stink on paper and every year they make some chicken salad.

same here, for all people piss and moan about NIchols he was the guy who got the winning started here and Lapo gets some serious credit from me for the Grey Cup win. won't celebrate if they crap the bed, but man that Ottawa situation could get embarrassing quick. remember back in 2017 when Dom Davis spent the year as the backup only for Lapo'shea to roll out the Fever when Nichols was hurt and the chips were down?

oof, the Redblacks look Rough Riders bad. Nichols banged up already and Dom Davis (!) is the backup ... Lapo needs to turn water into wine here.
