Grey Cup takes back seat to Seahawks for Vancouver fans

Parents Catherine Buffie and Alan Carter, who travelled to Winnipeg from their B.C. home for Grey Cup week events, said Matt planned to retire after the 2015 season. The RedBlacks led 13-10 after the first quarter. Edmonton’s kicker would miss one from 45 yards out picking up a single on the play 16-11.

The league said the protocol is no different than any championship game: teams will bring their own balls to use on on offence and warm up with. The Saskatchewan Roughriders are believed to be interested in him for their vacant general manager and head coaching positions, and Jones didn’t exactly announce after the game that he’s staying put. He said he was proud the Eskimos are connected to the community and the players are accessible to fans despite their successes on the field.

In 2012, the Calgary Stampeders and league came to a compromise on the team’s mascot for the 100th Grey Cup in Toronto.

“I can tell you this, it won’t be anything that we haven’t done before”, he said. Ottawa, meanwhile, beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 35-28 in the East final to book its spot in the title game – just one season after their inaugural campaign. On Thursday, Campbell (coach of the year), quarterback Henry Burris (outstanding player), receiver Brad Sinopoli (top Canadian) and SirVincent Rogers (lineman) were honoured at the league’s awards banquet.

Ottawa scored on its first two drives of the game but struggled to put up points after the first quarter. Burris finished 22-of-29 passing with 220 yards and two TDs and an interception after registering a league-record 481 completions and CFL-high 5,703 yards. The game will also be streamed on TSN GO for TSN Subscribers.

Following a half-time performance by the band Fall Out Boy, Edmonton took the ball to start the second half after deferring to open the game. Whyte has made 24-of-26 field goals (92.3 per cent) since arriving in Alberta while Milo has hit on 32-of-36 attempts (88.9 per cent).

The Algonquin Loggersports Team traditionally slices a “wood cookie” off a log in the west endzone at Ottawa’s TD Place to mark a Redblacks touchdown.

Shavers’ first touchdown of the game capped off a 10-play, 88-yard drive by the Eskimos. Edmonton took a 17-16 lead on Reilly’s 2-yard pass to Shavers with 12 seconds left in the half. “I’m sure they’ve been discussing it”.

“It’s about time. We’ve had some tough years”, he said, a huge grin accompanying his Eskimos poncho. The kick after would go wide making it 13-0.
