Damn, big upset in Hamilton... Cats lose for the first time in their new home on Angelo Mosca Night of all nights.

Looks like the Als aren't dead yet!

That was a pretty bad game to lose. It's gonna deflate a lot of the enthusiasm that they've developed over the last few months.

^ I wouldn't lose heart, the Cats are still a rock-solid team.

Haha, the moment I got that e-mail blast I knew right then and there an upset was in the making... I should have changed my pick

I'm out of town and forgot to do pick em for the game. I'm actually glad because I would've put 200 on Hamilton for sure.

I was in the Byward Market in Ottawa today. Saw a bunch of people in Green Rider gear walking around. Saskatchewan plays the RedBlacks tomorrow.

Stamps "quietly" get to 7-2 ... A bit under the radar this year.

An amusing comment I read elsewhere after the game - "Stamps only play as well as needed so it seems". How bad would've it been if the Stamps had played better in this game?

If the Stamps went flat out, they could have scored as many points as they wanted to. 60 points, no problem. Last night's game was a mismatch.

It is interesting how the Stamps are a bit under the radar this season... that's what happens when you start 2-2 including a loss to Ottawa, but they've certainly cranked it up since then.

There is a Riderville pregame party at the TD Place Arena. It's free and open to all. It will be a great time!

The way the Bombers and Lions are trending the Riders could still take 3rd place in the west. Might have to worry about a crossover from the East. Has that ever happened ?

If Sask made the playoffs, that would be bizarre. Though if that were to happen, we're still too weak to win the Grey Cup.

I can't understand Saskatchewan taking Smith out of the game just as he seemed to be gaining confidence (despite throwing the pick in the endzone).

Head scratcher for me.

0 - 9 now.

Chamblin's head will be on a platter after that bonehead move. Sunseri was sacked 9 times!!!

Nope. No Eastern Division team has ever crossed over into the Western division playoffs.

That would require the Riders to win one game.

Then do it again.

Then do it again.

Then do it again. (Lions won the season series vs. the Riders).

And the Lions would have to lose every game the rest of the way.

Seem likely?
