CFL: Official "Ottawa REDBLACKS" Thread Part III: ALLCAPS EDITION

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Come to TD Place and you'll see why we've all fallen in love with the team. Beautiful facility (not a bad seat in the house!), terrific crowds, a great experience. The on-field production has been poor, but one visit to TD Place will turn their opinions on the team,

Exactly. Who cares, it's year 1. I understand the need for bandwagonners to have a successful team to be a part of things, but in the case of the RedBlacks it's not just about the results.

I'm not a big football fan by any means (what is a slot back? tight end? what? is there a tight middle?) but go to a game and you'll see. It's about Ottawa coming together as a community, for a single cause. Something that doesn't happen with hockey in this city. It's amazing to see when you're at the stadium. I hope Spooz has gone or will go to a game before throwing in the towel or raising more complaints about a team built by expansion picks and rejects. We'll get better.

I can just imagine what a playoff game will be like at TD.

Not to mention that the RedBlacks have rarely been blown-out.

Last home game, some fans got together and had a tailgate party in the 2nd Carleton parking - there was a canopy, BBQ, and beer. It seems like an ideal spot since the lot is usually wide open and uncrowded. I think it might actually be cool to organize an unofficial "HF boards" tailgate party one day (at least if we ever made the Grey Cup playoffs).

RedBlacks signed quarterback Joey Elliott:

Will our RedBlacks win their 2nd game of the season against BC?

 

[SilverSeven]

No..

 

[Vaclav Varada]

I fully expect that win against the Argo's to be our only win this season. Hope I'm wrong though.

 

[Shanny]

I'll be at the game tomorrow night against BC, and every game I've been to thus far this season we've won. We got this guys.

 

[Smash88]

I'll be there.. Please, please let's us win!

Edit: At least a few Touchdowns.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

I care about winning, but if I'm going to spend two+ hours of my time watching tonight, I'd much rather see an entertaining loss, than a boring win.

Obviously judging by the last few games.....it seems like a boring loss is the more likely scenario, but I'll give the game a chance.

BTW, it looks like counterfeit Redblacks jerseys are starting to pop up on places like eBay, so if you see Redblacks jerseys for absurdly cheap on the secondary market, be aware they might be counterfeit.

It blows my mind that the CFL is popular enough to see their jerseys knocked off.

 

[Smash88]

Yeah it should get better, we still have 2 games versus Montreal and Hamilton and still play Toronto.

I expect to at least have 1 victory from those games...

 

[Quo]

Ryan will be there tonight with Zack Smith.

 

[FuriousSenator]

It blows my mind that the CFL is popular enough to see their jerseys knocked off.

Why, it's one of the most popular outdoor pro leagues on the planet in terms of attendance....top 7 globally in fact.

I'd settle for an offensive touchdown. Missed the game with the onside kick recovery, so I still haven't seen my first home TD.ß

I was just about to write the exact same thing ...

 

[danielpalfredsson]

Jeeez......it's raining a tiny bit.

Have fun at the game tonight guys....

 

[SourGrapes]

Pretty ugly weather. Doubt I'll make the game tonight anyways, but I'm wondering if the game will be cancelled. Really bad stuff.

It looked dark all day, but it seems like it just went from 0-100 in a few minutes.

 

[19nazzy]

I got free tickets to the game (great weather for it too!) hopefully it's a good one

 

[BUCKLE UP]

Guess an umbella is advised

 

[Purple hippo]

Going to my first ever CFL game tonight, hopefully it will be a good one. Dont mind a little rain, just no storms to cancel the game.

By the way, Ottawa is such a beautiful city, been enjoying my holiday here so far.

Glad you've enjoyed the city, hope the weather doesn't ruin the game tonight

 

[Vaclav Varada]

Our defence makes it look so hard.

 

[Vaclav Varada]

Hahahahaha finding new ways to not score every game

 

[Al14]

Hahahahaha finding new ways to not score every game

Yeah, the offense decided to leave the scoring to the defense. Problem is they only got 2 points!
