Somehow, in the midst of all the action south of the 49th parallel, we missed the opportunity to celebrate the Calgary Stampeders 20-16 victory over the Hamilton Ti-Cats Sunday in Vancouver, BC!
Calgary jumped out to a 20-3 lead and held on as Hamilton had a punt return for a TD called back on a holding penalty within the last sixty seconds of the game that would have won the championship for them in their second straight trip to the big game.
Pat Steinberg also has a great column that gives some good insights into the game, including a piece on quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell, one of the great names in football, who had a tremendous game. Remember, in the CFL, with just three downs, the wide field and the liberal motion rules, passing is twice as important as rushing when you compare it to the American brand of the game. The leading runner piled up a massive 25 yards. ELEVEN receivers totaled more than that in the game.
Here are the highlights from the 102nd Grey Cup!
