And an announcement. Watch for more Canadian Football Weblogs next year from our expanding RG Media Network.

Read it if you get a chance. I enjoyed the inside look it gives. Will we have a coaches poll too? For the Bombers, Milt Stegall gets a lot of love, deservedly. The best thing that happened to Winnipeg football in the recent and we should work to keep him here in whatever role for a long time. Doug Berry and Charles Roberts, and Danny Barrett for that matter, need my professional help on the public relations/media relations front it appears, (I’m offering my services for free guys and by next year you’ll be “seen” as angels).

Grey Cup 2006 - Winnipeg Last Minute Push To Get The Event To Sell Out

Grey Cup Fever Continues To BuildWINNIPEG, MB – Grey Cup fever continues to build in Winnipeg and across the country.

Grey Cup organizers announced earlier today that only 1,200 tickets remain for this year’s big game, to be played Nov. 19 at Canad Inns Stadium in Winnipeg.

Blue Bombers’ President and CEO Lyle Bauer said tickets have been selling quickly since the game’s participants were determined in last weekend’s Scotiabank East and West Championships.

“This is good news for both the Winnipeg Football Club and the CFL,” Bauer said. “It’s a strong indicator of the interest in the league both here in Winnipeg and across the country.”

Tickets for the 94th annual Grey Cup can be purchased on-line at www.ticketmaster.ca or by calling Ticketmaster at (204) 780-3333.
