Okay we're coming back. The FG making it 51 -15 means just 4 TDs with 1 pt convert and and 8 PT and we're heading to OT!!!!

Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Would rather see Jennings in. Never been impressed by Beck.

I know we're at the 3MW but can we just run the clock straight time the rest of the way, please?

Man, it is gonna be a pretty awkward flight for team personnel with those Operation Orange fans on board.

You know what I hate when they run the score up to 51 - 15? I need paper and pencil to do the math.

Think of the bright side. Something needed to be done to wake up this coaching staff to the reality of the CFL and how it is played at a high level.

Travis apparently told TSN that they must match the opening intensity of the Ticats or it'd be a bad night. He must have foreshadowed the character of his team.

Good for Marco I. a catch .. first of season.

Going to go away deep into my den now and lick my cat wounds, and when I emerge again next week I will extract a measure of flesh from my opponent!

Alas, a Hugh O'Neill punt rouge has completely foiled those plans.

Collie with a catch and run from Beck gets a major. 52-22 after the convert.

Notice only Lulay helping out. Others on bench and they think they're team leaders... harris included.
