This will be a blow out for the Cats.
They look very strong this year.

Have to keep reminding myself Masoli isn't the primary. The guy has some stuff.
Well, as the final thought for the night on Ricky Ray, he was yawning on the sidelines with 20 seconds left if anyone saw it. I think that's the first time I ever saw a pro player at any level yawning during a game. That can't be a good sign.
I still think ray will be fine. Hardly has played in 2 yrs and he is still 5 yrs younger then Burris.lol The crowd look to be having fun for the 1st time in yrs. I was not happy going with masoli ,but he looked good last night. Owens shut down the boo birds. lol
Political correctness ( or cancel culture as it is called today) is a doctrine fostered by a delusional ,illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by MSM which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

One play you will not see in the NFL.

Ticats just put Everett Golson on the practise roster.
They say you can never have enough good friends and good shoes but Hamilton Tiger-Cats head coach Kent Austin – a guy who wears the same pair of kicks to practice every day – would like to add another item to the list: good quarterbacks.
The Ticats added former Notre Dame pivot Everett Golson to the practice roster on Monday, making him the sixth player Hamilton has under contract at the position. But in a league where the quality of the quarterback play can make or break a team, it’s quite impossible to have too much of a good thing.
“That’s exactly the philosophy, as long as there is enough spots – we’d have nine here, if we could,”Austin said.
Golson certainly has the pedigree. He started his college career with Notre Dame, leading the Fighting Irish to the 2013 BCS Championship game (they lost 42-14 to Alabama.) But academic issues forced him from the team the following season and he left the school after the 2014 campaign for Florida State. He played started eight games for the Seminoles last year, throwing for 1,778 yards, 11 touchdowns and three interceptions.
After a couple of tryouts with NFL teams, Golson turned his attention to the CFL. The Ticats have been following him for some time – they added him on their negotiation list in 2014 after he was dropped by Edmonton – and brought him up for a workout last Sunday.
“He’s here to be evaluated. He’s a talented athlete, he has a strong arm, he can pull the ball down and run,” head coach Kent Austin said. “He played at a high level in college so we’ll see how quickly he can pick things up.”
This is Golston’s inaugural trip to Canada and his first exposure to the CFL game came last Thursday when he watched Hamilton’s win over Toronto on TV (he had an inkling he was coming.) It’s a lot to take in but he seems to taking it in stride, joking about the differences in the currency and the absence of the penny.
“Transferring schools there was a learning curve, a kind of shifting of your mindset so this is kind of the same process,” Golson said. “I’ve been through that before so I can take what I learned and apply it now.”
Golson said all the right things about the Canadian game, too, likening it “basketball on turf” and noting the CFL’s early embrace of mobile, athletic quarterbacks and freewheeling style – things the American game has only recently adopted. He answered the inevitable question about his aspirations perfectly, too.
“Whether the NFL happens, or whatever, is it’s own deal,” he said. “I’m just trying to enjoy my time here and learn as much as I can.”More.....
