Grey Cup/ Coupe Grey 2015

[Mudcat]

That will be Grey Cup CIII for those that dig Roman numerals.

So a second year club, the Ottawa RedBlacks, have made it to the big dance and will face the Edmonton Eskimos.

Edmonton is favored by 8.5.


Game will take place Nov. 29th in Winnipeg.

I'd say there is a chance it will be cold.


Ottawa has the only player in the game who was alive last time an Ottawa team won the Cup - the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1976 - the player being quarterback Henry Burris.



I'll take Edmonton -8.5



Happy Grey Cupping y'all!

I did catch the end of the Ottawa game hanging onto the win against Hamilton! That QB from Oregon I think was playing for Hamilton!

I thought the cfl ended with rocket Ismail.

It was cute when expanded to the US.

The Redblacks have lost twice already to Edmonton this season. I think the Eskimos are going to win but I think I would have to take the points in this game and ...

Redblacks +7.5 (This is the spread on bet365)

 

[Mudcat]

RedBlacks were 2-16 last season.

Guess that would be classified as a pretty good turnaround.

 

[Mudcat]

They're still planning to go through with this game.

Looks like the pointspread is sitting at an even 7. Games goes at 6:05 EST.

Late November night in Winnipeg - but they're catching a bit of a break weather-wise. Expected to be ~5 degrees below freezing at kickoff. Light wind only.

Could be much worse.

 

[Mudcat]

Eskimos win but do not cover.

And that's all I have to say about that.

 

[MrMonkey]

Caught a couple minutes when it was 19-17 and then Edmonton got another point! MrsM said they looked like the Packers!

Muddy or any Canadian, what is the strategy anyway on giving up a point in the end zone like that? Do you always give up the point or possibly sometimes you run the ball out of the end zone?

In America the Grey Cup is know as the Zero Shits Given Cup.

 

[Matty]

It largely goes by the same name in Canada.

 

[Matty]

Why the CFL is just plain bad

 

[FairWarning]

It's that time again. I'll watch.

[MrMonkey]

Heard it's goes back to 1909! Is that true?

Canada came up with football. True story.

That's great but ashamed they didn't perfect it!
