99th CFL Grey Cup in Vancouver, BC

Sunday November 27th 2011

vs

BC Lions (11-7) Winnipeg Blue Bombers (10-8)


Anyone else watching? I'm so upset I won't be there for it as I just moved across the country. New stadium, home team playing, all the awesome Grey Cup festivities happening all week long...

I'll be watching from Toronto.

GO LIONS GO!

I'm not going to watch the game but I will probably head downtown to check out some of the free stuff if the rain lets up.

 

[silverpig]

Less than 4 hours to go!

It feels so wrong having the BBs in the eastern division.

Due to the riots that will occur?

Only accidentally. You're channel surfing, run into the game, and wonder, "wtf are these? Throwback jerseys?" Half an hour into the broadcast, while you're wondering, "where's John Madden?" after hearing "that was a pretty good run, eh?" for the 20th time, they finally mention the name of the teams.

Then you re4alize that it is faster, better, and less interruptions than the NFL

 

[Rudee]

Nickelback to play at halftime. That's my cue to change the channel quickly.

 

[silverpig]

Halftime.

so was (is?) Arena football, and it sucks ass in comparison to NFL.

anyway, I'm not hating on CFL. just throwing a few jabs.
