Waterworth for what would be his Super League debut

Congratulations to the Calgary Stampeders and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats - now the champions of the West and East and to meet Nov. 30 to find the winner of the 102nd Grey Cup from Vancouver, B.C. You know that Calgary will be the prohibitive favorite and they should be. With 15 regular-season wins and a dominate win over the Edmonton Eskimos, much of the discussion this week will be how can Hamilton even keep it close? I will be surprised if it isnt close. Going into the East finals the Montreal Alouettes were very confident; almost too much so. Often, when you go into a game with bravado and make the statements that Montreal did, the opponent takes it personal and I sense that the Ticats did just that. Mistake by Montreal. The obvious star for the game was Brandon Banks and the smallest player in the game played the biggest role. Jeff Rienbolt, the Ticat special teams coach, also saw his group perform extremely well. It was an example of using your bye week effectively to put in new blocking patterns in the return game and see them work to perfection. The secondary of Hamilton also played well - not just the interceptions but the almost elimination of big plays. Montreal had three tall big-time sprinters at receivers and only once did I see a big play produced of more than 25 yards. Johnathan Crompton did not test the deep ball often but when he did the Ticats covered well. Delvin Breaux in particular was significantly noticeable at cornerback. So much of the success in the playoffs is avoiding mistakes and making plays happen. The two unnecessary roughness penalties on Duron Carter really effected the game. Tim Hortons field for Hamilton has been a major success in so many ways. Now 7-0 in that stadium it has also become an identity location for the Ticats. When you think of almost the last two years from the University Guelph and Grey Cup representative in 2013 and half a season at McMaster and Grey Cup representative again in 2014, it kind of makes you optimistic for 2015 and all nine games in Tim Hortons Field. Hamilton started the season 1-6, finished the season 9-9 and are now back in the Grey Cup. Well done. For Calgary, the best team won and beat the same team four times. To have a 29-4 lead at half time says your ready to go. Bo Levi Mitchells deep ball was never better and the strategy to go for the kill shot early and often worked out remarkably well. So much emphasis on John Cornish was used for Stampeders advantage early and often. For Edmonton they actually had an excellent year. You take away the four Calgary losses and Edmonton almost dominated everybody and boy did they find a quarterback. I have never played on a broken bone but Mike Rielly did for as long as he could. If he was healthy would it have made a difference in winning. I dont think so, Calgary was ready no matter health or not. An interesting competition will be the Rich Stubler defence against the Kent Austin offence. The Dave Dickenson offence against the Orolndo Stinehouer defence. And can Hamilton control a great running game in John Cornish. I remember what Kory Sheets did in last years Grey Cup and it cant repeat for Hamilton in this years Grey Cup. And I remember what Torontos defence did to the Stampeders offence in the Grey Cup the year before Regina and that cant happen again ether. Hamilton and Calgary, let the week of speculation begin and a new Grey Cup winner be crowned.
