Toronto 75.  I'm pulling for the Argonauts, but I'll probably get fleeced again.

Naah, their chances are golden.

Good Luck

After one, Calgary leads 6-0.  Both teams have had trouble staying on their feet.

Shania Twain has a new album to promote, so she will be the halftime performer.

At the half, it's Calgary 17....Toronto 8.

The ball has been tough to hold on to, but no turnovers yet.  Calgary dominated the first half, more than the score indicates.

At this point, Joe Medjuck is in the catbird seat.

I forgot to say that early in the second quarter Ricky Ray threw a 100 yard catch and run touchdown pass to DeVier Posey.  That's a new Grey Cup record.

After three, it's Calgary 24....Toronto 16.

In both the second and third quarters, the Argos scored a touchdown, and the Stampeders immediately responded with one of their own.

And Joe Medjuck is still looking good!

[GA Russell]

With 4:15 left, the Argos have tied it at 24.  Cassius Vaughn set a Grey Cup record with a fumble return of 109 yards.

Goodbye Joe Medjuck, hello BClugston!

Phooey!

[GA Russell]

With 0:49 left, the Argos have taken the lead 27-24.

*****

That's it!  With 9 seconds left, Matt Black intercepted Bo Levi Mitchell's pass in the end zone, and the Argos win 27-24.

Ricky Ray becomes the first starting quarterback in history to win four Grey Cups.
