The Sadest of Days for me

2009 will be year That has been full of ups and DOwns for me
Losing my Best Friend My Dog Brutis and then the High Getting My New Friend Isis.
My Little Girl Dog :)

Then there Team they Finally Turn it around Great news
But for me I won't be able to Enjoy it . Today just after 10:30 EST
I Told my Rep I won't be Renewing. I also won't be at a Home playoff Game.
I just can't afford it anymore .

I love this Team but Money is just too Tight when live on 900.00 A Month
Things are breaking and Just can't Keep up with it.
So I told my Rep to let my Seat in Sec 8 go .
I had no Choise.

Sad Day for me

Great win Meaning Nothing if don't Beat The Peg

The Great Home win vs Roughriders Will next to nothing if we don't beat the peg.
The Home playoff game is in Site and we must take it from the Peg .

Here how it works outs:

A Win

If We win vs Winnipeg where in and will Host the East Semi vs The Loser of BC -Edmonton


A Loss
A Bomber win means they have the season series on the Tiger-Cats, but with 16 points on the season, Hamilton would make the playoffs in the East and keep the Esks or Lions from crossing over.

We go to Winnipeg for Semi East Final.
Unless there is Tie in BC -Edmonton Game there where out of the Playoffs

So the Playoffs are Coming But we want a Home game
So The Ticats Better Buckle their Helmets and Play hard.
Be on Time and Play Like Hell.

Playoffs are must for Real Fans

Okay so Ticats must Win out IMo to make the playoffs
One Problem I don't think they can ..
I don't beat the Roughriders this weekend or Winnpeg who are both on Rolls

There always next year but for me It will be from Cheeper seats
Way pay $350+ for a Non Playoff Team.

Hay Marcel No Guts no Glory..

The Ticats Out played the Al's in Montreal but still Lose by 3.
41-38 The Reason IMO our head Coach Kicking Fileld With when we need Majors.
Marcel No Guts no Glory. Should be your Middle Name

We trade Field Goals for Most of 3rd Qrt and it Came back to Haunt us.
Coach if you want sit in big Chair you have to Take Chances
Go for it once in while on 3rd and Goal ..

Montreal has my Respect Cause there head coach Know when to go and not too.
Marcel need to learn from Best in Trestman..

Ticats Lay an Egg on Turkey Day ..

The One thing I Feared came true tonight .
Quinton Porter and Ticats Lay an Egg in From of 19,000 Disappointed Ticat Fans.
I've Said The ticats need to start Glen this game . Boy was I Right .

Porter and Lack Luster offence gave up 14 Points and Glen had come to Rescue.
We Lossed by 10 38-28 This Score Flatter the Ticats .
Bo Smith had Problems with the Bombers WR Adarius Bowman
Bishop Made Him Pay all Night Throwing to his Young WR.

The Ticat Offence Playing Calling was Pop warrner Football at it best
Too bad we play at Pro Level. The Hoggies played let Hoggetts.
Mike Gibbson Needs to be Fired .

The Season is Slipping away and Porter is now Shell Shocked and Done..
I was listening the 5th Qrt and One Fan from BOX I said what alot of people are going to be saying
Start Porter on OCT 31st and They won't be back



We Need Glen to start and maybe just eek into the playoffs.
I for one will Down Grade my Seats if there no Home Playoff Game.
Why Spend 400 Dollars for This TRASH...

A Must Win on Turkey

Well this be the Season the Ticats are not the Turkeys on Thankgiving day .
Today is a Must win.
But the Fact we are starting Quinton worrys Me cause of the Slow Starts .
He also not great at Read Defence..
On Bright side we only have lost 2 times at Home..

If we have a Slow start I think we lose by 10 .
If we start Quick we could blow them out.

Some Nick Setta Info

I Found this Suffing the Net it from 2006

Earlier this week, the Buffalo Bills acquired the House Rock Built's favorite all-purpose kicker/punter/video game champion Nick Setta and designated him for assignment in NFL Europe. From what I've gathred on NFL Europe's page, all kickers designated for action in NFLEL go through a tryout here in the states and earn their roster spot for their franchise. We wish Nick luck and hopefully he gets picked up by anyone but the dastardly Rhine Fire, those jagoffs.

Setta's certainly had a journeyman career up to this point, but it looks like he's making strides in impressing NFL scouts, and hopefully you'll be seeing him booting field goals in the big show, much like fellow NFL Europe alumni Adam Vinatieri and David Akers.

If anyone wants to see an impressive year of college football, check out Setta's stats from the 2000 season, his sophomore year. As you'd expect, he was solid on PAT's and field goals (including the heart-stopping wobbler that won the Purdue game as time expired, pictured above), but don't overlook his 47 yard punting average and his two touchdowns - one rush and one pass. During the early stages of the season, when the team was struggling to find an offensive identity, Setta was the go-to guy for scoring. I'm pretty sure that his career 640.00 passer rating has to be a Notre Dame record.

Porter is DONE ... TRADE HIM

After Hearling The 5th Quater Interview with Porter .
I am Convicned Porter is not our Future and I will Prove my Point
Read Below Here 5 Reason to Trade Porter now .

(1) Porter has Trouble with Snaps Since Boston Collage days
This was Brough up by Many Pro Scouts
http://www.theacc.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/090303aae.html
The Eagles, who hurt themselves with 14 penalties and three lost fumbles, had a chance to win in the final seconds, but another mistake sealed their doom. Starting at the 50 after the kickoff, BC moved to a second-and-2 at the Wake Forest 24. However, quarterback Quinton Porter, fumbled the snap and threw a pass that was batted back to him. Rather than knocking the ball down for an incompletion, Porter caught it. The ball was jarred loose for a fumble that was recovered by the Deacons Quintin Williams, ending BC's chances.

(2)He Holds on to ball to Long :
From another Collage Game Dose this Ring a Bell
Trailing 6-7 latte in the third quarter, Quinton Porter drove BC into the red zone, but they came away with nothing. On second-down from the Carolina 19, Porter was sacked for a 12-yard loss. That was followed by a false start penalty that took the Eagles out of field goal range.


(3)Pro Scout Rank him Undrafted FA.
There other players Rank Higher then porter who also did not make the NFL :

In the 2006 Draft Porter was Ranked 25th By Scout.com
He was Never Drafted and Signed as a FA
Travis Lulay Who Play for Montana St was Ranked Higher
He now Plays for BC as 3rd Sting QB
so what dose this tell us about Porter
Reggie McNeil was Ranked Higher then Porter
He a WR Now for Argos.
What dose this say about Porter
Marcus Vicked was Ranked Higher
Vick was Never was what that Maker Porter.
Eric Mirer was Invited to Ticats Camp but ticats Cut him before Camp.

(4)Porter had Trouble Leading the Eagles in Big Games
This has showen up in His play in CFL

Porter was named starting quarterback at the start of the 2005 season. He started seven games and was named Atlantic Coast Conference player of the week for his performance in BC's 28-17 win over Virginia. Leading up to the October 27 game against Virginia Tech, the Eagles under Porter were ranked 13th in the country.

However, after a 30-10 loss to 3rd ranked Virginia Tech (led by quarterback Marcus Vick, brother of Michael Vick, and a loss to North Carolina, a quarterback controversy erupted as BC coach Tom O'Brien announced that he would start Porter's backup, Matt Ryan, in the upcoming game against North Carolina State University. Ryan began starting, and led the Eagles to a victory over Boise State in the MPC Computers Bowl.

(5) Porter has Trouble getting over Mistakes

This will cost him at Pro Level. Listen to Interview after Calgary Game.

IT time to Trade Porter and Let Glen Take over as Starter

Groom Adam as our #2

To me Porter Proved The NFL Scouts Right

He is a Never was.

I have no Faith in Porter or Mike Gibson.

The Ticats lost a Game the should Won 15-14
I blame 3 People
Quinton I' Can't throw it away Porter ..
Mike Bad Playcall Gibson
Nick Missed it again Setta..

Next week is Must game vs The Peg Lose it
We may miss the playoffs.
The Bombers are hot on Our ass.
It is time For Marcel to take over The playcalling
It time to drop Porter as the Starter .
Glen must Start..from here on in.
Bring in Eddie Johnson as Insurance cause nick is not getting it done.

I am sick not making the playoffs.
TICATS IT PUT UP OR SHUT UP TIME
YOU WON'T GET A DOLLAR FOR NEXT YEAR IF WE MISS THE PLAYOFFS AGAIN.
I AM TIRED OF LOSING CLOSE GAMES

Huge will Retire if ticats win the Grey Cup

I was Reading The Montreal Gazette.
They did a Story and All Star Center Marwan "Hoggies " Hage.
He said He'd Walk away if Hamilton wins the grey Cup.

http://www.montrealgazette.com/sports/Hailing+Hage+Heroes/2036906/story.html

"I'll walk away if we win the Grey Cup," he vowed, realizing his team's in position to finish second in the division this season, potentially meeting the Als on Nov. 22 in the Eastern final with a Cup berth on the line."

I can see why The Ticat want to keep Cedric Here now.
If we win Grey Cup we may need a Center .

Ugly

What Else can you say about loss to Montreal .. It was Ugly
No Offence
No Defence
No Special Teams
This team look like last years Team .

Time to Black out the Final 3 Home Games

I know going to be unpopular for this
But it's Time The CFL Allow Teams in the Playoff Race The Opton to Black out There 4 Final Home Games.
You want to See the Team Come to Stadium and Support them.
I hate black outs but The People of Hamilton always want somthing for nothing .

also I Suggest The CFL Look at PPV With TSN as an Opton
This for people who want Stay home for Games.
Charge 44.95 Per Game The Price of 1 Ticket in Sliver Sections.

Bob Can't keep playing the bills forever and take a loss.
He Finaly giving us Team that winning at Home

I like to see Bob Break Even soon maybe even make some money

Maybe I been Too Hard on Porter

After a Great Win Yesterday
Maybe I've been too Hard on Porter .
He Start off like I Though He would
I was calling for Hook .

Thanks to Our Defence They Kept as in the Game
Then Porter Settled down and play well in the 2nd half
Don't get me Wrong I Still want Glen Starting But Porter Did okay

Depth Crat Stamps @ Ticats IWS

Click here for Ticats Depth Chart

Porter is starting again to my Disapointment
I Really Feel Glen is Better QB
Porter can't read Defences that why he let go by Every NFL Team.
Glen is Vet who can get the Job Done.
We need To win this game and IMO Porter will get us Killed..

SLOPPY GAME PLAY SUCKS

I am very Dispointed in The Ticats Last Night in Toronto.
I was at the Game at Rogers Center
Sitting in 200 Level on 40 yardline Ticats sideline
I've seen 13 year Old kids they play better
This Team had Chance to Knock the Argos out of playoffs
They have No Killer Instinct

The Only one working hard was Dillion The Water Boy
They Took Toronto as an Easy win and they got beat
They where lucky to get to overtime
Sloppy Play
Sloppy Tackles
Sloppy Game Plan
Sloppy Exacuetion
Sloppy Kicking
There nothing to Like about this game

This is 500 Football Team right now and there playing like it
SHAME ON YOU ALL

ARGOS SUCK LETS SWEEP THE BACK TO BACK

Video From Labour Day Class as The Ticats Hit T he Field
WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE ARGOS YOU SUCK!!!

LETS SWEEP THE BACK TO BACK GAMES
TIME TO SINK THE ARGOS PLAYOFFS CHANCES

Ticats Win but Make too Many Mistakes

Despite the 34-15 This was not a Good Game by Our Offence.
Yes it was win but when Defence and Special get you a Turn over and don't get single TD
That's Not Good.

The Sinking Boatman could Turn the Ball over 5 Times with Ticat Almost allways kicking Field Goals that's not good

They Only Times I want to see Nick Setta is Extra Points and Kickoffs.

The Could have been a Blow out and This Game Lacked the Excitement Factor of Past Games.
It was Hollow Victor but 2 Points is 2 Points ..

1 more win and Argo IMO are Sunk
We have 80% Chance of Hosting the East Semi Final Come playoff time With A win This Friday

The Day is Here Time to kick some Argo Ass

Here I sit at Home Watching the Clock .
Waiting for The two biggest games of year .
We need to Beat the Argos Twice

If we do There out of The playoffs if we don't it's dog fight for 2nd in East

Labour day eh thank god for it and the Labour day Classic

There Nothing Like Labour day Weekend

I love Labour day Weekend Ribs and Football vs Toronto
To Me this is The Summer It one 1 Weekend I look forward too all year

aaaa Summer Let Go Bruuucee!!!

Ticats Sign a new DE

Adrian Baird played the last three seasons with Edmonton and Winnipeg. At 6-5, 245 he's likely a replacement for the injured Barrenechea - most of Baird's tackles are on special teams.

Pan American Stadium If there Track I don't want it

The Could be The New Home for The Tigercats in 2016. Frankly I am not impressed by it .

It has a Track and will have bad Sight lines for football. Here why Say that The Track will never be Removed.
Below is from Pan Games Bid Site



Venue: Pan American Stadium
As an important new development, the Pan American Stadium will be a significant
project as part of the Games’ Venue Plan, and provide a legacy directly
related to hosting the 2015 Pan American Games.
The new 15,000-seat stadium will include a leading-edge 400m running track
with all the required areas for throwing and jumping disciplines. An adjacent
warm-up training track, replicating the features of the Stadium will be added
to the site to create a premier national training centre for Athletics, capable of
hosting national and international events following the Games

In other words The Track is Staying
Will so far back from Field it won't be worth going anymore IMO
The Sight lines will be awfull No Thank you I'll Keep IWS..

I hope we lose the Bid or Else we be watching our Ticats from a Stadium not made for football

It not Ticat football but care about it so here my Take

The NFL and CFL Should Ban Mike Vick Forever
I don't think he should ever be allowed to play Pro Ball again.
I am Dog Owner and Love all Animals
More Then I do People for that Matter .
I have Seen what They Did to the Dogs from Badnews Kennels.
One Female had her Ears and Teeth Removed
so they could Breed her Easy
They Attached her to Device to Force her To breed with Males
There some dogs Use as Bait dogs to make the Fighters Better
Dogs who where no use where Electrocuted or Drowned or both
There are Serial Killers who Started out Acting Cruel to Animals.
Vick IMO is no Different then Jeffery Dahmer
Taking any life you should Be Kept in Jail forever.
I hope know one ever signes him in the CFL or NFL

As dog owner I hate this man and well dance on his grave when he dies.
Okay okay I just be glad the Dog Killer is Gone ..

Here are 23 of the dogs They end up here http://www.bestfriends.org/dogtown/

COBB, JOHNSON NAMED CFL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

Hamilton, Ontario – Hamilton Tiger-Cats running back DeAndra’ Cobb has been named the CFL’s Offensive Player of the Week and linebacker Jamall Johnson has been named CFL Defensive Player of the Week for their efforts in last Friday’s win over the B.C. Lions.

TSN Saying Deal is Done Bruce is a Ticat

The Arland Bruce saga appears to be over as the Toronto Argonauts have shipped the disgruntled receiver to their cross-province rivals the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

In return, Toronto will receive a third round draft pick and the rights to non-import defensive end Corey Mace, who is currently property of the Buffalo Bills of the NFL.

Bruce In Hamilton?

An unnamed source is Saying that Arland Bruce is at Ticat meetings this morning and may practice this afternoon. That would indicate the deal is done

Bruce a Ticat By Tomorow ???

The Toronto Argonauts are close to completing a deal that would deal receiver Arland Bruce III to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in exchange for a draft pick or rights to a future player.

I've heard it could be the Rights to Corey Mace and also Maybe Draft Pick
The two Teams have been working since Last Weekend on a Deal to Make Spiderman a Ticat.
I'll keep everyone posted but the deal looks done.
It Could Be Announced Tomorrow

One Cut and One Signed..

Our the Ticats Closing Practices ?

The info Below is from Scraching Post Blog .

The Cats are closing practice

For the first 15 minutes when they do the walk throughs with offence and defence. Apparently it's Bellefeuille's request. My understanding is that practice is to be open so I'll be calling the league for clarification. I've done everything the Cats have asked in terms of curtailing my reporting from practice and this is the first time they've done something that impacts my ability to my job. I realize it's only 15 minutes but it's the first step in closing all of practice which is what most football operations people want. Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone

I don't like this Either but They Team has all the Control.
We have wait in Concourse for 15 Min's before we allowed in one of Boxes Seat Areas

Shame Shame Bombers

From Drew Edwards blog:

"Officials from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats caught a scout from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers spying during practice at Ivor Wynne Stadium this afternoon.

The scout, identified by Ticat sources as Ron Trentini, had his notes confiscated and was ejected from the stadium.

The Blue Bombers come to Hamilton this Saturday to face the Tiger-Cats.

Hamilton officials say they've pulled the scouts credentials for this weekend's game and have informed the league.

The team, however, declined to make any official statement."

This is Shame if the Bombers Knew this The League should Fine them.

CFL PA Looking for Players to them Pension Money

This Story is From The Hamilton Spec.

The former director of education for Hamilton and now the top man in Toronto's school system, Chris Spence is in the news all the time.

So he was more than a little surprised to discover he was on a published list of retired CFL players owed pension money who couldn't be found by the players' association.

"I'm thinking, I'm not hard to find at all," he chuckles.

Same with former NFL star Dexter Manley, who played five games with the Ottawa Rough Riders back in 1993 and 1994. Reached by phone in suburban Washington, he says he's hardly hiding.

"Just go on Google," he says. "I'm easy to find."

Fact is, the CFLPA finally did track down both a couple months ago. But roughly 900 other former players remain unaccounted for, with over $7 million of their retirement money sitting in limbo. The List can be Found Here

One Greatest Canadian Unity Lineman in CFL History is George Hudson.
George Hudson Has been CFL all Star at C and G in Ottawa
He Signed in Hamilton in 2006
He was Hamilton’s nominee for the CFL Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman Award…
But now it 2009 the Ticats are breaking in new Younger players on the OLINE

The Thinking Mans Vet has seen his Role Change to Mentor This season.
There be will some game he may not dress for But He still be a Leader on this Team .
He Told me He is okay with the Coaches call
I trust when he said that .

George will lives near by St Catherine's
Mr Hudson could always be counted on to be there for Team Events
This year he took place in Hamilton Bus Rodeo

He is a hard worker
He is one the few Ticats Left who knows what is Be a Ticat
To Be Proud when You dawn the Black and Gold.

Not only is George my Friend
He One Best things a Football Team can have
a True Team Player who will do what takes to win.
Personally I think George has a few good seasons left
So I hope coaches don't for get 52
He is one of my Heroes and a Great Football Player Father Friend.

Two many Flags too little Time

Otis Floyd Run a KJ Fumble back to House 65 Yards

What can Say about a Preseason Game ..
It was Sloppy on Both Sides win Argos winning a 27-17 Final.
Riddle with red on Turf and just not Fun to watch
The Highlight of Game was Floyd TD .
a few play before that we had Argos kick Deep from End by Floyd Ruffed KJ
and before we knew it they where going to score and Bang Fumble and we only 7 Down
The Ticat's had penalties, 22 for 152 yards that way two many.

Alot of players Lost jobs cause Mistakes today Said Head coach Marcel Bellefeuill
One of player who IMO is now on Bubble is CB/DHB #9 Geoff Tisdale
Tisdale was Burned Two by Pass interference Flags
He gave up a TD to Arland Bruce III in 1st the Quater.
