I enjoyed watching this game! Wet and wild night. Anything can happen in those conditions and makes for some unforseen events.
Calgary is setting up for a fall soon. The best laid plans always have a few disruptions.
I don't care cause I wheeled Calgary and Hamilton with some NFL div winners for Grey Cup Champs at beginning of this season. I'm winning either way
Hamilton won't make it to the grey cup. The western 4th place team will send the golfing.
