Winnipeg over Sask (The Riders have been a mystery to me all year. Every week they look like no big deal, but come out with the win. After a poor start, the Bombers have returned to their old form, and I expect them to dominate. That said, I'm a fan of Trevor Harris, and I would love to see him win a Grey Cup as a starter.)

Last week I read Paul Woods' Bouncing Back, the story of the 1983 Grey Cup champion Toronto Argonauts. I enjoyed it.  A great deal of attention is given to their quarterback Condredge Holloway.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
