Yup, they got MTL Miracled! They should know better! Maybe it was just the casual fans who didn't know any better? I hope DT on the 'OB really rubbed it in real juicy-like!!

If your retired, everyday is holiday and you have the flexibility to go to the lake any day of the week. So, weekend games are never a problem.

I was surprised that so many fans left early. Have they never seen a CFL game before. You never leave early in a one score game with 2 minutes to go. Thats an eternity in the CFL

Amen!! way back when I use to sneak down from the cheap seats to the better seats when folks left early. Back in those days a lot of games were sort of out of sight but it was still Bomber Football so the closer I could get the better.

And in a sell out crowd, those are the ones who don't really care if we or lose. This was just their pre-game for Friday night.

I didn't see many "beat the traffic" fans... our section was full still... stayed in our seats until the end, then off to the pinnacle club for post game free appies, and then a wander out to the U lot and out in minutes.

Great game, great ending, overall great experience.

Only complaint, the Burger stall beside Shawarma Khan was very busy, but was cooking burgers from raw, but had no seasonings at all. Grilled onions in the burger grease and flat top crunchies, but zero salt. C'mon guys, is it that hard? Would have been an excellent burger if it wasn't so bland.

This aged very, very well. :-)

I imagine BLM thought he had stemmed the tide and reversed the Cats fortunes with those two second half TDs and FG. Mmmmm ... not so fast.
