holy shit the CFL fucking owns

That '81 version of the Alouettes finished 3-13 and lost 3 games by 40+ points. I got to see the Bombers destroy them 58-2: http://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/10/sports/winnipeg-tops-alouettes-58-2.html

were the two points a safety or two rouges?

Probably 2 rouges, safeties are rare in the CFL.

Main thing I remember from the game is that I could see it amazingly clearly: got my first pair of glasses that fall. Had been to a Bombers game the year before and couldn't see anything except a colorful blur, didn't realize that everyone else could see from that distance. I was amazed at the way fans in the stands were talking about plays on the field, assumed they knew so much more about the game and I had a lot to learn.

grey cup today just fyi

The Tiger Cats are finally on the move. Let's go, Hamilton!

Riders dominating in all phases. Lots of happy green people wearing watermelon helmets.

This band is the most lol-Canadian thing I've seen in ages.

The cheerleaders are wearing parkas
