It's going to take me a while to catch up, but let's get started.

2024 Grey Cup

Toronto 41....Winnipeg 24

The Bombers led 10-9 at the half.  The Argos led 17-13 after three.  It was not until the fourth quarter that the Argos blew it open with 24 points (which Rod Smith said tied a Grey Cup record).

Collaros cut his throwing hand in the second half.  He could see the inside.  With Streveler injured, the Bombers' back-up was a young guy I had never heard of named Terry Wilson.  Collaros returned to the game, but was not particularly effective after the injury.

Arbuckle had a good game with few mistakes.  He was named MVP.

The Bombers scored a touchdown with a two-point convert with 0:53 left.  Before that, it was Argos 41....Bombers 16.

Joe Zuger has died at 84.  RIP.

I remember him quarterbacking the Ticats in the first CFL game I ever saw on TV, the 1962 Grey Cup (The Fog Bowl).  I had the pleasure of meeting him once in the mid-'90s when he was the GM of the Ticats.  I had his bubble gum card in 1964.

You will recall that on October 30 the Stampeders let go their long-time special teams coordinator Mark Kilam.  Yesterday the Elks hired him to be their head coach.

(You will recall that two years ago, the Riders let go OC Jason Maas, and he promptly become the Als' head coach, and won the Grey Cup.)
