CFL Finals

In the finals we’re going to have some good games that’s for sure. The top two teams from both divisions are meeting to see who goes to the Grey Cup on November 25 in Toronto.

First up I’ll go over the West, the BC Lions vs. The Saskatchewan Roughriders. This has the makings of a classic match up. The defending Champions playing the team they beat to get to the cup last years semi-final 45-18. These two have met in the semi-final two of the last four. The Roughriders have played in the final three of the last five seasons. If there has ever been a team that is due for a win it’s the Roughriders. The Lions won the regular season series 2-1, including a last minute 37-34 win on 9/22. If you count preseason the teams split 2-2. The Roughriders just came off their first home playoff win in 30 years, their last cup appearance was in 1989, and the last win in 1987. Of course they have to go through the Lions who have the best regular season record and posted there best record in team history. This is a team that is hungry to repeat as champs. The Lion’s fans will be rocking the stadium this weekend. I will say if the Roughriders win they will win it all this year. I should pick them but I’ve got to go with the Lions. What can I say I’m a Lions fan and have got to stick with my team.
For your viewing pleasure a couple pics of the Felions:

Next up the East, The Winnipeg Blue Bombers vs. The Toronto Argonauts. The Argos are on a roll winning seven straight to end the season as the top team in the east just edging the Bombers out. The Argos are also 2-1 this year against the Bombers. How long can they keep the win streak going? If the Argonauts win they will have the home field advantage in the Grey Cup game with the game being played in Toronto. I’m going to go with The Blue Bombers in this one. It just seems like Toronto put all they into taking first place.

In this contest we have the Blue Lightning vs. The Blue Thunder:

First up the Blue Lightning:

Angie a student who's pet peeve when performing is "My hair blowing across my face."


The Blue Thunder:

Rookie Ashley who is a dance teacher and her favorite song is is constantly changing, but anything with a banging beat that gets me moving!


And veteran Meaghan who is an ER nurse at The Credit Valley Hospital and if was on a deserted island would want her Surfboard, Music, and a Hammock. A cheerleader and a surf chick, it doesn't get much better than that.
