Great ending

I’ll answer what I can, maybe others can fill in the rest. I know we have an Als fan on here. The Als play at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium, which is owned by McGill. I think it’s close to but not directly on/in the campus - but I’m not sure about that. The Als success given their record was partly due to the East (ie, Argos and Redblacks) being really weak this year. The Bombers crossed over and lost to the Als in the Eastern Semi-Finals

Like all scoring plays, Nield’s touchdown was reviewed by the CFL Command Centre in Toronto to determine whether the correct call was made on the field. That review lasted an unusually long time before the major was confirmed. The replay official is only able to overturn a call if it is “clear and obvious” that an error has taken place.

Bold above is mine. I didn’t know that the burden of proof is so high, but that makes the video review overturn similar to other sports, like baseball and basketball. However, in this case, the video review is always done on a scoring play, which makes one question why the automatic review (that’s probably more likely to get it right - multiple angles, not in real time) should be biased by an inferior on-the-field call. Idk what I’d prefer, just thinking about it though…

Lot of OT in the last 5 games

That sentiment makes perfect sense as a Bombers’ fan. I loved the way you expressed it; I chuckled a few times. If Alexander’s leg is good enough, I’d say the Als have a good chance of the Cup. I was pretty blown away at how much team chemistry I saw after they bested the Ti-Cats in the post-game interviews and on-field celebrations. This is a takeaway I had from watching the Blue Jays. When players and coaches very very convincingly say they’re “all rowing in the same direction, playing for each other, love the team” - I think that’s powerful ingredient for playoff success

Thank you for sharing this. What shameful and disgusting behaviour by the university

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_(football):

In Canadian football, a single (also called a single point, or rouge) is a one-point score that is awarded for certain plays that involve the ball being kicked into the end zone and not returned from it.

Oh well. Good for the Als

Good game so far! I think I’m cheering for the Ti-Cats to come back and win. The Ti-Cats and Lions’ black jerseys are some of my favourite CFL jerseys

Ty, I didn’t know his history. Your read of things sounds fair. Hard year to be a Bombers fan, eh

Would the Bombers part with O’Shea or would he go to Toronto for more money or something? I can’t see O’Shea not a Bomber

Great catches by Varsho and Vladdy!!!

Bo with the 3-run blast, 3-0 Blue Jays !!!

I hope George can make up for that baserunning error

💙 Go Jays go! Win Jays win! 💙

I’m not ‘happy just to be here’ but it’s pretty frickin’ cool we’re in game 7 of the world series. I bet we see a lot of starting pitchers in relief appearances: Bassitt, Yesavage, and Yamamoto potentially

Same lineup as yesterday, but Varsho moved down and Barger and Kirk moved up in the 5-7 spots. I hope Barger delivers big in the 5-spot!

1. Springer DH
2. Lukes LF
3. Guerrero Jr 1B
4. Bichette 2B
5. Barger RF
6. Kirk C
7. Varsho CF
8. Clement 3B
9. Giménez

Such a tough loss last night. But Bassitt looks incredible out there. Sasaki looked very hittable. Varsho won’t have as bad of a game at the plate again. Jays win in 7, LFG!!!
