When they extended him, I think most Riders fans reacted like Borat in the driving instructor scene:
Much like last year, the winning didn't start until Ford was allowed to start. And once again it took an injury to force the coach to play him. A lot of other good players who were just missing the final spark that Ford brings to the team. Jones refusal to play him two straight years and it cost him his job.The thing that's incredible about the Elks turnaround is I can't tell if it makes it abundantly clear that Jones is absolutely horrendously atrocious for being such a bad coach with all this talent, or if he's amazing for assembling all this talent in the first place.
It's kind of a remarkable juxtaposition.
Also - the f*** was Calgary doing letting that Rookie QB wilt and flounder all game?! Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoyed the back to back to back turnovers... But good lord, what a great way to destroy a kids confidence.
I think Dickenson was trying to send a message to Maier, lol.The thing that's incredible about the Elks turnaround is I can't tell if it makes it abundantly clear that Jones is absolutely horrendously atrocious for being such a bad coach with all this talent, or if he's amazing for assembling all this talent in the first place.

I am just thrilled with the turnaround. Wow it felt great to see all those people in the stands yesterday-like a Magical Mystery Tour.
Pretty reluctant yesterday too.
I didn’t but heard lots of pissed of people as prices were ridiculous and upper deck not being open
Its incredible how many good players we actually have, now that Jones is gone.The thing that's incredible about the Elks turnaround is I can't tell if it makes it abundantly clear that Jones is absolutely horrendously atrocious for being such a bad coach with all this talent, or if he's amazing for assembling all this talent in the first place.

It must of been around that 32k if that is what the capacity for the bottom bowl is. There was not much empty seats and as I was looking for tickets earlier that day pickings were pretty slim. As far as the upper bowl being opened up, it is a discussion that needs to be had by people much smarter than me. I'm torn, having that bottom bowl packed does bring something to the experience. It also does force people to actually commit to buying tickets earlier. Also 32k seems almost perfect in terms of the concourse being functional at the game. At half time I was able to go to washroom and get concessions before the beginning of the 3rd.
They are trying to create demand. Which is fine, but also irritates people looking to go
Absolutely loved that move, whether it was scripted or not. LB driving and then parking right into the heart of the enemy camp while his wife chucks EE footballs into the crowd to rub it in!
