@cflffc.bsky.social I heard around $70k was raised this year. Awesome!

Us Argo fans use it too!
Just passed thru Exhibition Place & it’s rammed. They’re parking people on the grass (🤦🏽). Royal winter fair. Soccer game at BMO. The notion that the Ex is used two weeks a year is false.

I feel like Tyrion Lannister right now. I'm short, I drink, and I know things. #GreyCup

December 9th for the 2026 schedule. Totally looking forward to a Toronto Wolfpack style schedule where all 6 home games will be played back to back 🙃🤪😆

The 38th Grey Cup in 1950 was known as The Mud Bowl.
Heavy snow melted on Toronto's Varsity Field, and it rained during the game. The field was described as "a pig's wallow". The field's poor condition led to the Grey Cup venue shifting among cities.
Toronto won the game 13-0.

So let me set the scene at a Grey Cup for my American followers. Imagine Giants, Commanders, Cowboys, Eagles, Bears, Packers, Vikings, Lions, and Seahawks fans all mingling and partying together for four days in one of the teams’ cities, and then the play the Super Bowl on day 5 between them.

The 42nd Grey Cup is considered one of the greatest Grey Cup games ever.
Montreal led with three minutes left when Chuck Hunsinger fumbled the ball. It was picked up by Edmonton's Jackie Parker who ran it 90 yards for the game-winning touchdown.
Edmonton won 26-25.

The 65th Grey Cup was known as The Ice Bowl and The Staples Game.
Played in Montreal on Nov. 27, 1977 between Montreal and Edmonton, the field was a sheet of ice leading to many fumbles. The Alouettes affixed staples to the bottom of their sneakers for traction and won 41-6.

The 1962 Grey Cup became known as The Fog Bowl.
The fog was thick enough that many fans could not see action on the field. The game was suspended in the fourth quarter and continued the next day. It is the only Grey Cup to ever suspend play.
Winnipeg defeated Hamilton 28-27.

Of all the things that I'm going to cherish this weekend, it's going to be having stimulating conversations with the #CFLFamily about our respective teams.

Going to be making ip a new Double Blue Order logo for next season. It'll be our 10th anniversary!

STORYLINE FOR NEXT WEEK.

Saskatchewan and Montreal have played in the Grey Cup twice before, with Montreal taking both encounters (we all know what happened the first time). Can Saskatchewan make the third time a charm on their arch-enemy's turf?
