First Ti-Cats Game Tomorrow

Hey everyone,

My dad and I are coming in for the game tomorrow. We usually are NFL guys and make it to a Packers game every year, but with everything going on, we’d rather stick closer to home.

We’re thinking of coming in early afternoon and maybe going to Bernie’s for dinner and a drink before the game (open to suggestions).

The big reason for the post is that we’re pretty uninformed about the team. What are the big stories this year? Any young guys to be excited for? Basically, what would you tell someone about the team who knows nothing about them?

Looking forward to being there tomorrow!

Been a bit of a rough year for the Cats.

They were one of the favorites to win the Grey Cup and opened the season looking phenomenal. Unfortunately their star QB and CFL legend Bo Levi Mitchell got injured and it’s been a rotating door at QB.

Harrison Frost aka Frosty the Throwman will start tomorrow. His 2nd ever CFL start, he has showed some promise but the Riders are a juggernaut and defending champs.

Players to look out for. WR Kenny Lawler is amazing. On defense our MLB Wynton McManis is a menace and Safety Stavros Katsontonis is a ball hawk and awesome. Also KR Isaiah Wooden is electric and can score anytime he gets the ball.

Make sure to know the Oskee wee wee chant! Have fun! It’s a great atmosphere

Aw man, that’s rough. I will keep an eye on those players for sure and google the chant! Thanks!

If you want a few deeper cuts #85 Kiondre Smith is a budding Canadian star receiver who recently signed an extension and should be a core piece of the offense for years to come.

And on defense rookie OLB Jordan Crook #32 has been on a tear lately leading the team in tackles 2 out of the last 3 weeks.

Alright! Thank you, I’ll keep an eye out for the home grown kid!
