    I’m a little Kolo, short and stout.  I’ve reached the ceiling, please take me out. When I get a one on one hear me shout.  Tip me over, it’s two and out. 

  • We're playing the Elks folks. Expectation should be a big win.  I don't like our front 7, but I expect a big win.  I think we should change out either Grey or Neuf, but I expect a big win.

How do you go from Grey Cup and beat record in years to donkey plop without losing anyone?

It's happened before. More than a few times.

Bombers won the GC in 1962 with an 11-5 record. In 63, missed the playoffs with a 7-9 record only to fall to 1-14-1 in 1964 (Yikes!!).

The BC Lions won the 1964 Grey Cup with a record of 11-2-3. In 1965, the Lions missed the playoffs with a record of 6-9-1.

The Calgary Stampeders won the GC in 1971 with a 9-6-1 record only to miss the playoffs the next season with a 6-10 record.

The Toronto Argonauts played in the 71 GC with a 10-4 record. In 1972, they missed the playoffs & finished with a record of 3-11.

There've been other collapses but you get the idea. Combination of bad decisions, age bad luck with the bounces going the other way for these teams & injuries to key personnel. Sorta like the way the season is going for us.
