Canadian college football vs American college football
Why is Canadian college football not as popular as it is in the US?

Anyone know the historic rules for the placement of the hashmarks?
Anyone know the rules for the placement of the hashmarks? Like we know now that from 2022-present the hasmarks are 28 yards from the sidelines.
Before 2022 they were 24 yards from the sidelines.
The question is when were they set at 24 yards?
We know the NFL had them from 1945 to 1971 set at 20 yards, before that, 15 yards which was changed from 10 yards in 1935 after their adoption by the NFL in 1932.
But looking at old Grey Cup games (and a lack of access to rule books from the era) as well as using the photos provided from 1945 -1976 I can only make some estimates.
So from the 1932 Grey Cup game (first image) it looks like they are scrimmaging right close from the sideline so we know in 1932, there was no hashmark rule in Canada.
From the 1946 Grey Cup (second image) which is the earliest I can find, the hashmarks look like they are 10 to 15 yards from the sideline though I am going to say 10 yards away.
From the 1952 Grey Cup (third image) it seems like with this frontage could be 10-12 yards wide from the base of the right goalpost. Add on 3 yards for the half the width of the goal posts. So 15 yards ish from middle of the field to the hashmarks which would be 30 yards between them. So 17 yards from sideline to hashmarks. Or maybe it’s 15 at low estimates.
This image from the 1958 Grey Cup (4th pic) looks like it’s still 15 ish yards but 1959 (5th pic) looks like it’s further in, say maybe 20 yards? Which remains the norm (6th pic 1960, 7th pic 1965,) till around 1970 (8th pic) where it look like the standard distance of 24 yards that we have known for a while.
Did the CRU (later CFL) follow the NFL’s changes when it came to hashmarks? Or are my estimates correct?

Week 12
After a 2-2 week the predictor looks to bounce back in week 12, Als win handily over the Redblacks, Elks over bombers in a close one, Argos should beat the ti-cats here, but don’t be shocked if we see another upset, Riders injuries will continue to bite them and they fall to the Lions in a close one.

Any luck re-selling tickets?
I bought tickets for the Lions / Roughriders game this Sunday but can’t go now.
Has anyone ever successfully re-sold their CFL tickets on Ticketmaster? If so, any advice?
Kicking myself for not buying the $10 insurance that it double-prompted me to get and I still declined twice… 🤦♂️

Would the Ottawa Redblacks bring Jeff Hunt back? The price could be right

Commonwealth!
Edmonton will always hold a special place in my 💙...and not just because of the Grey Cup game in '90 😉.....probably the second best-memorable play for me happened against the ol' "Double-E" at "the Brick"...on a beautiful Saturday night in July, 20 years ago. With the Bombers down about 5 points, needing 6, Milt after beating the DB caught the pass from Kevin Glenn running it alllll the way to the end zone for the score on the final play of the game (and the W!)...Biggest worry being Chris Brazzel (the wide out) would inadvertently tackle "🐢-man" short of the end zone, celebrating too early!....ah, a beautiful memory, rhat will last forever.

TSN 1200’s AJ Jakubec reports Adrian Sciarra is out as Redblacks president
Sciarra staying on with OSEG in his role as president of the Ottawa 67s.
Sciarra is a good man who cares deeply about the team and fanbase, but at 0-9, this move had to be made.
Hoping for some significant CFL experience in the new hire. And I imagine the new leader will be looking at further changes in football operations.

What are some rare/unique CFL uniforms to be worn over the years?
One off games or 1 season and changed, retro/heritage jerseys or anything fun like that.

Let's talk Edmonton Elks possible home playoff opponents
For the first time since the name change, Edmonton Elks fans can legitmately talk about hosting a playoff game at Commonwealth Stadium. Not completely reliant on hope but actually based on fact, talk about a home game in November. No hoping the Club goes on a winning streak in October while multiple other teams go on losing streaks. So who do we want to host in November?
Calgary would be fun but a Labour Day Series sweep would be more fun and would relegate them to vying for the Eastern Crossover.
I do not want to see Nathan Rourke in November. I have zero expectation of an east team crossing over.
Which leaves us Winnipeg. Guess that opinion may change this Friday.
