pretty much same here dude.

I have ultimate faith in you, Goldie.  You got this!

I've been using this site lately, but it hasn't been too accurate with the forcast - too many variables. But this doesn't look any better than here:

The aqmap link I provided comes directly from the CFL.ca weather-delays info sheet page, so I'm assuming this is what the CFL takes as sacrosanct.

Air quality improving slightly sounds like

The aqmap site latest readings at Mosaic (excluding 1 stuck meter) just dropped from 150 to 90 in half hour.  At this rate they'll reach magic 79 probably by original KO time!  But I guess the lads still will need the hour pregame warmup, etc.

All in all this should work out just fine.

Thanks for doing that I have been checking smoke and fire maps x100 a day for 2 weeks

This one seams legit

All that matters is what the number is at those 3-4 sensors right at Mosaic.  The rest of the city could be on fire and they can still play the game if the numbers on the turf go below 80.

Get some dude holding a bionaire filter blowing directly on the sensor, stat!

Whoa whoa whoa.

No faith in me???

Actually, that's fair. I'm normally asleep by 10. This is a low percentage scenario.

Goldie's regaled us with many a story of his imbibing prowess.  If you want the same treatment, we need to hear more dirt about it post facto!  In any event, it may be hard to win the battle.

AQ index now at 80.  They can basically start warmups immediately.  Too bad people will have postponed their arrival already, meaning they can't push the KO to 8:30 or something.  Maybe CFL should next time say "8:30, possibly delayed until 9:00".  Get people in the door for the better-case scenario.

It's already a late start for us on DST in WPG... the one thing I envy about Sask BTW...

Whatever. Best case scenario. I was worried it was just going to be cancelled at one point.

Funny, but this exact same thing has happened every year for like 3 seasons now?  Early year SSK games get the "oh now, AQ, cancelling!" FUD and then the magic wind comes and everything is ok.  I don't know why we worry, there's some Level 5 Blessed Air Elemental that protects Rider football.

This may be the first actual delay, though.

Ya, you know me, I'm up till 5am anyhow so I don't care when it starts, just that it starts.  But all you old guys need your 8pm bed time apparently

hey now, 9:30.

[TecnoGenius]

hey now, 9:30.

Really?  Odd, since all 3 Mosaic sensors are below 80 on the 10 min avg.  Rapidly dropping below 70.  Magic number is under 80.  Warmups/pregame take at most 70 mins.  That means 9pm start is entirely doable.

Weird.  It's going to be a pretty empty GDT until tomorrow, probably.

All the drinkers should alternate between the booze sips and espresso for the next 4.5 hours.

9:30 as my bedtime, not the game start.

LOL, well it still stands that you should get the coffee maker goin'

Don't want to miss (or even delay seeing!) some terribly exciting 5th-unit action and 5 FGs!
