  • They could improve the game experience by winning more than they lose.

    Every touchdown we score removes an ad from the scoreboard, until ultimately the actual video takes up the entire screen.

    After a TD, I'd like to see a high diving act. For no other reason than I can complain, "I paid my six bits to see the high diving act and I wanna see the high diving act."

Well apparently they don't sell them but they do give them away to fans as part of the game day tradition.

Quote

After the log is cut, game broadcasts invariable move to a commercial. Fans at the stadium, however, see the second part of the process. The cookie is branded with the Redblacks logo and presented to a deserving guest at the game. It might be someone who has raised millions for charity, says Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group vice-president Randy Burgess, or a breast cancer survivor who rallies others to fight the disease.

Branded ‘cookie’ is presented to a guest to honour a community contribution.

Burgess says he’s always moved by the applause the recipients get as he escorts them back to their seats.

“For me seeing the fans give that ovation to a person who has really made a contribution to the community … it’s tremendous.”

I think that is a pretty cool tradition they have.

Imagine if the Bombers did something similar and you happened to get one of the many TD "cookies" scored by Milt.  Heck of a souvenir.

I think the log cutting is dumb, I don't know why really. I just don't like it. The whistle in Hammy is ok, the horse in CGY is (was?) awesome. And of course our canon is great.

What do other teams do? I know SSK has gainer go back and forth in a truck...that's kinda lame....What about BC MTL or TO?

If they really wanted to have an element of truth to it Gainer would be under the truck like most gophers in that province wind up.

We aren't sure if Gainer is going to make the cut this year. He is slowing down. No one is safe.

The Alouettes "make some noise'  is the most annoying thing I could think of at this time. 

2nd only to the din created by Rider fans when Rod Pedersen and Rob Vanstone figure out the Riders must have scored, and tell the crowd to remove their melon heads and cheer...for the home team...because it's a good thing...like barbecues, where you can eat with your fingers again, and dancing..even if the hokey-pokey really is what's it's all about for them.

It's boring at work today so I'm going to complain about something that's not that important.

Was any one else annoyed at how often the drummers were playing? It was after nearly every play, you could barely make out what the announcers were saying and I was in the upper deck.

Don't get me wrong, I like them. But it was just too much. Save that **** for TD's or something. Damn
