So the Ticats will host BC in the Eastern Semi-Final. ***** Sask 35....BC 16 https://www.cfl.ca/games/2541/bc-lions-vs-saskatchewan-roughriders/ https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/roughriders-defence-special-teams-beats-lions-1.4881478 https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/cfl-zach-collaros-blew-call-lions-ticats-1.4883172 http://www.3downnation.com/2018/10/27/lions-dl-odell-willis-knocks-riders-qb-zach-collaros-game-head-hit/ http://3downnation.com/2018/10/28/lions-loss-shows-rebuild-far-complete/ http://3downnation.com/2018/10/28/gasson-riders-clinch-home-playoff-game-left-holding-breath/ http://3downnation.com/2018/10/29/ambrosie-acknowledges-clearly-inadequate-response-collaros-hit/ http://www.3downnation.com/2018/10/30/cfls-head-player-safety-vows-changes-wake-collaros-controversy/ Before the kickoff, BC learned they would be the crossover team. But prior to then they had won 6 of their last 8. They are hot, and I think they could win the Eastern Final. Meanwhile, the Riders are still in the hunt for first place. ***** Montreal 40....Toronto 10 https://www.cfl.ca/games/2542/toronto-argonauts-vs-montreal-alouettes/ https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/manziel-1st-cfl-win-als-rout-argos-1.4881814 Johnny Manziel gets his first CFL win. ***** The league announced each team's nominees for the CFL Awards. http://3downnation.com/2018/10/31/seven-players-double-nominees-for-cfl-team-awards/ https://www.cfl.ca/2018/10/31/cfl-announces-2018-team-award-winners/ ***** Peter Dyakowski has retired. http://3downnation.com/2018/11/01/peter-dyakowski-announces-retirement/ https://www.cfl.ca/2018/11/01/11-seasons-dyakowski-announces-retirement/ Edited November 3, 2018 by GA Russell Quote
