Toronto Argonauts 27
Calgary Stampeders 24
The temperature was -3º in Ottawa and it snowed for practically the entire game. The Stampeders led all the way until late in the 4th quarter when they went for a touchdown and a disastrous fumble occurred on Toronto's 10 yard line. The Argos intercepted the ball and ran all the way back down the field to score a touchdown. Calgary's second misfortune occurred in the dying minutes when they decided not to go for a field goal to tie the game and force overtime, but to go instead for a touchdown which they did not get.
NEXT YEAR!

THE WEST WILL RISE AGAIN!
my baseball team's cry is always "wait til next year!".
ReplyDeletesuch conditions; you think the stadium would have a dome to prevent snow/rain.
So sorry for the heartbreak. I felt the same when the Dodgers lost the World Series this year.
ReplyDeleteahhhh, next time, theres always next time,,
ReplyDeleteOhhhh nooooooooo 😔
ReplyDeleteMy local college team got slaughtered by the rival this previous Sat, I feel ya
ReplyDeletebummer! but perfect weather for a game!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great game. A Canadian classic!
ReplyDeleteOh so close. Seems like so many teams this year have been so close, only to see the win slip from their grasp.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Cleveland. I can relate. Pass the hankies.
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the game, did stadium ushers have to chisel out the fans who were frozen to their seats, or are they just going to wait until Spring?
ReplyDeleteDammit! I checked periodically on line and the Stamps were holding their own.
ReplyDeleteJoining you in fist shaking!
@ brewella deville -- Yes, those are the poor buggers I felt sorry for the most! But everyone in Canada knows you never come underdressed to the Grey Cup game -- layering is the secret to staying warm! That, and much booze.
ReplyDeleteat least there's snow to cover up your tears :)
ReplyDeleteBrrr..What a heart breaker..happening all over the placer..Tis the season..;) On to hockey !!
ReplyDeleteBeen there so many times I should have a tattoo!
ReplyDelete"Next Year"
Been there, done that. I live in Texas where football is king. The only problem is, I'm not a Cowboy fan. Dallas sucks. I never liked them. Thier owner is an idiot like Trump. I love Houston Texans. They try so hard but fail. That's what I like about them. I always say wait til next year.
ReplyDeleteWow, this was painful. And all I did was read your recap.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, Debra, but the photo of the players in snow - that's a beauty.
Next year!
As a pretend Canadian, I don't know if I can take the disappointment.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Next year, I will shake it with you... Maybe if we add more body parts to the fist-shaking, they'll win.
ReplyDeletemy heart breaks for you...I know the pain..the cowboys have been sucking soo bad...always next year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame
ReplyDeleteIt's okay my friend there is always "next time" for players
ReplyDeleteI totally understand (Falcons in the super bowl last year - still sad), but next year! So sorry your team was not victorious this time.
ReplyDeleteaghhhhhhhh wahhhhhhh! Is about all I can say.
ReplyDeleteOh, quit whining, you big suck. NO ONE CARES! Especially not me.
ReplyDeleteThat comment was directed at Debra She Who Seeks, of course, not the rest of you. If any of the rest of you are upset at Calgary's loss, why, of course I am purring in sympathy with you.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the story of Casey at the Bat!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, but it was a great game! Just not the best outcome.
ReplyDeleteNow, you have to admit Debra, it was a good game! I loved it! LOL! Actually, I loved seeing all the snow! I thought it was perfect! Hey did you like Shania? I liked the dog sled! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHere's to next year !!!!
ReplyDelete4th photo Jesus is hot!
