2006 grey cup game start

The victory marked the first time a home team had won the Cup. It also provided the perfect storybook-type ending to the career of Henley, whom many contend to this day was the greates player ever to suit up in the CFL.

The product of Haiti, South Dakota was the last of the great two-way players. From he was an All-Canadian defensive back and in he was named an All-Canadian at receiver. Then you start living on your past and thinking about what you did accomplish.

It means a lot to me now. All rights reserved. CFL Network. BC Lions. Hamilton entered that contest the favourite after posting a CFL-best record while the Bombers had to record two road playoff wins to advance to the title game. Hamilton has history on its side as the last three teams to host a Grey Cup game have won B. The unit had six sacks and five turnovers against Montreal and held league rushing leader William Stanback to 29 yards on 12 carries. Dane Evans will start at quarterback for Hamilton after coming off the bench to rally his team to the win over Toronto.

Evans finished of passing in relief of starter Jeremiah Masoli for yards and a TD while rushing for two others as the Ticats erased a half-time deficit. Late in the second, Evans completed a pass to Steven Dunbar Jr. Muamba lateralled to Shaq Richardson, who returned the ball to the Hamilton yard line before being stripped of it by Evans.

Hamilton will certainly have home-field advantage Sunday playing before a sold-out Tim Hortons Field gathering. Certainly both teams have improved since then, especially the Ticats after opening the year The two times we played them, we were up and they came back. Quarterback Anthony Calvillo has spoken of adding to a legacy that has seen the Alouettes dominate the East for most of the past 11 years but come up short in five of their seven trips to the Grey Cup game.

The first of their two wins in that span was in in Edmonton, when they beat the Eskimos Calvillo, Cahoon, Stewart and guard Scott Flory played in that game and are still on the team. The organization has done a great job of providing us with players. That was a fun time and who knows what will happen this week? The Alouettes will be without safety Matthieu Proulx, who suffered a suspected injury to the ACL ligament in his right knee against Toronto. He is to have further tests this week, but Trestman has ruled him out for the Grey Cup.
