Edmonton & Montreal Grey Cup Pre-Game

[wpg#1]

Ugh...that must have been like watching an NFL game.

I was at that 1975 game, a young teenager. It was horribly cold. The Grey Cup parade the day before was a beautiful day, then it turned snowy and cold overnight.
That was also the game with a pregame streaker. I couldn't believe someone was running around on the field with nothin on. COLD !!

As much as I'm not a Fajardo fan, Montreal dumping him after the Grey Cup for Alexander was nasty. I hope he gets revenge !!

Wasnt really nasty, it was natural progression.

I'm kinda hoping for a meteor strike, but in absence of that, gotta root against Montreal.
