CFL 2024

Maybe he can ask his neighbour to come out of retirement to play QB for the team.

Please elaborate…

It would be awesome.

As a Rider fan, derisively calling them the ‘Shmoes just doesn’t have the same cachet anymore.

The Elkishmoes is really hard to say without sounding like an idiot either.

I do hope things turn around in Edmonton soon though, Commonwealth was my favourite stadium to watch a game in until the new Mosaic opened up in Regina.

Agreed. Let’s be honest, they have been the flagship of the CFL for decades but sadly have fallen hard in the last 10 years. I will say it again, a strong CFL includes a very strong Edmonton FC.

PS - hate the concourse at Commonwealth, usually jammed, albeit with many, many Rider mates ever I’ve attended games there . Although when I lived in Edmonton I admit I attended non Rider games too (dont hate me). But ya as a stadium built in the mid 1970s it has held up very well. Architects, Commonwealth 78 organizers and city all to be applauded.

His neighbour used to play qb in the NFL. Won a few SuperBowls. Like 7 I think.

Quick update: we officially signed Oakman and Moncrief, and the prevailing rumour is that the Riverhawks bought the Elks

I saw that tweet as well, but have no idea who Ferg is and why he'd be a reliable source. That said, there's enough rumors to this effect, that it's definitely starting to sound like it's the case.

If you told me 10 years ago that a local collegiate summer baseball league team would be buying the Eskimos I would have told you that you were f***ing insane.

How far the mighty have fallen.

The Elks aren’t even the worst team in the league right now lol.

And of course Hamilton's coach is the guy who was on record as the coach for Edmonton when the Eskimos name was retired. The curse may have followed him.

Being forgotten about during the bye week helped our ranking.

And the carousel continues. Although I like the Oakman signing.

If you’d have told me this was going to happen the day after the Eskimos sold the Trappers after arguing for years they should own them because Pocklington was going to sell them to the first rich American that came knocking and only they could be trusted to be the guardians of the community it would have made me smile.

The first thing the new owner should do is change the name back to Eskimos and end this woke bs.
