Roadieboy Champion Author Regina Posts:16,145 Points:2,934,455 Joined:Jun 2004	Message Posted: Nov 24, 2012 9:57:18 AM Ignore Roadieboy Report Abuse Yes it is a great series. The only change would be the 13th Man episode. It needed a different name. The Rider fans are were the 13th man before the too many men penalty. Maybe focusing on the Canada wide support the team gets from the 13th man would have made a great episode as well. The smallest city in the least populated provence (that have CFL teams) having the most fans coast to coast to coast. I hope they do another series. There must be a few more great stories with over 100 years of history. [Edited by: Roadieboy at 11/24/2012 10:59:16 AM EST]
Happyherman Champion Author Calgary Posts:18,860 Points:1,119,600 Joined:Apr 2002	Message Posted: Nov 23, 2012 10:43:48 PM Ignore Happyherman Report Abuse Just watched the "Engraved on Nation" series and it was about the 1971 Grey Cup between the Argos and the Stamps. Another super story. This series is unbelieveable! That 1971 Argo team had five guys that should have signed with the NFL but Leo Cahill brought them to Canada and the CFL. Yes they lost to the Stamps but what a team and it was a late fumble by Leon McQuay that lost them the game. That fumble haunted Leon the rest of his life and he had an unremarkable career in the NFL and died as a auto mechanic in his mid 40's. The QB, Joe Thiesman, went on to lead the Redskins to a Super Bowl. Man that series is fantastic!

Roadieboy Champion Author Regina Posts:16,145 Points:2,934,455 Joined:Jun 2004	Message Posted: Oct 1, 2012 8:35:40 PM Ignore Roadieboy Report Abuse I can't find any new reports on his knee. Picking the Riders anyway, but would like to know.
SAIT Degree Champion Author Calgary Posts:10,931 Points:3,711,060 Joined:Jun 2001	Message Posted: Oct 1, 2012 8:09:12 PM Ignore SAIT Degree Report Abuse I am having a tough time picking winners anytime the Argos play, but only this season for some reason. I'll probably get this match up this week incorrect again. Wonder how Ray is doing for this weekend?

SAIT Degree Champion Author Calgary Posts:10,931 Points:3,711,060 Joined:Jun 2001	Message Posted: Sep 25, 2012 6:39:35 PM Ignore SAIT Degree Report Abuse Looks like an MCL injury. No use going after 1st in the East, concentrate on making the playoffs and staying healthy. Ricky Ray is the key to this Argos team doing well.

Happyherman Champion Author Calgary Posts:18,860 Points:1,119,600 Joined:Apr 2002	Message Posted: Jul 14, 2012 9:49:01 PM Ignore Happyherman Report Abuse Watched the Argos and Cats. Now I remember what I used to call Ray. It was "Red Zone Ray". Too many times having to settle for a FG rather than a TD.
Happyherman Champion Author Calgary Posts:18,860 Points:1,119,600 Joined:Apr 2002	Message Posted: Jul 7, 2012 6:09:22 PM Ignore Happyherman Report Abuse Argos beat the Stamps and Drew Tate is out indefinitely. The Stamps did have an awesome second half but left a little too much time on the clock and Ray was able to move down close enough for the game winning FG with no time left on the clock. Nice win Argos!
SAIT Degree Champion Author Calgary Posts:10,931 Points:3,711,060 Joined:Jun 2001	Message Posted: Jul 5, 2012 8:43:07 PM Ignore SAIT Degree Report Abuse I was surprised to see Rambo where double blue, I didn't hear about it until a few nights ago on TSN. Argos Ricky Ray passes to Ken-yon Rambo for a TD!?! Sounds kinda of odd. Before Rambo got injured, he was the best WR in the league! In 2008 he led the league in receiving yards, had 100 receptions that season and was an all-star. Next season that cheap hit on Rambo in Vancouver resulted in a season ending surgery with an ACL tear. He was never the same after that injury... it's too bad. I hope Rambo gets over the tendonitis and can put up some numbers this season. [Edited by: SAIT Degree at 7/5/2012 9:47:08 PM EST]
