Well, it's officially past the halfway point of the week...

I am holding out for Willie Nelson but I doubt I will see him in Regina. I started with 2 tickets curtesy of one of my clients in Saskatchewan but now have 2 more tickets as another client just provided me with 2 of their 10 tickets. So taking my son-in- law and two good long time buddies of mine. I offered to take my wife but was pretty much told what I could do with them

Faj face on the jumbotron on repeat...

Or 15 minutes of Craig "Elmer Fudd" Dickenson (The Lesser) doing his deer-in-headlights mouth-breather impression on the sidelines in all the regular season games.    I hear that really gets the SSK fans excited.

In all seriousness, how about Classified?  I don't like rap at all (except some 80's stuff) but they really impressed me when they did a Thursday-night Football halftime in TOR back in '19 (I think).  Canadian, lots of Canada references, catchy.  Might work better in TOR when they host a GC though, instead of in Regina... Actually, maybe Classified is "too small" and would work better as the pre-game act like the Beaches did in '19.

Still no announcement and it was supposed to be out by now.  Is the CFL in full meltdown panic mode??  Is that why they screwed up the all-star list?

One would think that, from a negotiation standpoint, you don't want to be calling big stars at the last second begging them to do a show.  They can basically name their price vs getting a reasonable deal.

Just like on the all-star list thread, we must ask: how does this happen??  Many more snafus like this and Ambrosie might have to step down.

Apparently, announcement coming Friday...

Maybe they were busy rounding up the Queen City Kids. One can only hope!

This is a bit disconcerting for the league. Bad things can happen in 3s so one more blunder by the league this year?

I get that it's not a good look for the CFL/Ambrosie, but this is all on the hosting team/organizing committee. They are 100% responsible for this.

Goldmember and Ridermania will sing a duet and only charge the CFL a couple of hundred beer!

[DM83]

Really though in all honesty, who really wants to go to Regina, freeze on stage for 10 minutes and lip synch.?
