This year's Grey Cup final pits the Montreal Alouettes from the east against the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the west. The Grey Cup is almost always a great football game with a close score and I'm hoping this year is no different. While I'll be cheering for the Riders, who have an excellent chance to win, I predict the winner will be Montreal. The only reason I have for this prediction is the experience difference between the quarterbacks. Anyway, I'm looking forward to a great game, some cold beers and a well earned hang-over. GO RIDERS! I'm hoping they prove me wrong. I do not fight fascists because I think I can win. I fight them because they are fascists.

My heart says Roughriders, but my head says Alouettes. Growing up in western Canada I went to many Grey Cup parties that will live in my memory forever, and a few I have a hard time remembering. At least the second half... Anybody got any Grey Cup blow outs planned? ID: 949523 ·

He still lives across the street from Queen's Park in New Westminster. We'd be blotto by half-time and we'd go out and reinact the first half in the park. Once we were all covered in dirt, mud and whatever else lies on the ground in parks, we'd head back in to finish watching. Good fun ID: 949593 ·

LOL Hamilton was the only stadium I would never removed my helmet in. Empty mickey bottles seemed to fall from the sky when things were going bad for the Cats. I place Tigercat fans as rabid as Rider fans. There just seems to be more Rider fans across the country. Grey Cup starts at 3pm Pacific time Sunday ID: 949949 ·

The Grey Cup doesn't have the same level of hype as the Super Bowl so we need to do what we can to spread the word about Canadian style 3 down football. PS: This is the 97th playing of the Grey Cup...a lot of history involved here. ID: 950391 ·

People here in the east don't seem to get quite as crazy as folks back home in the west, probably because the east hardly ever wins (ducks). The wife and I will have a quiet little Grey cup party here at home. ID: 950484 ·
