373.0. "Grey Cup 1990" by CLOSUS::HOE (Grandpa, dad said no; can I?) Mon Nov 26 1990 11:31

Grey Cup 1990: Winnepeg Blue Bombers won. Not much details here
in Colorado Springs other than it was a lop sided win, like 40
something to 10 something.

Can some football fans write some details?

Thanks,

Calvin

    <<Who did they play against?

The Edmonton Creamed-nose.

(Ted, you had to ask, eh?)

    I should have known it would have been you, Pat! :-)
    
    ESPN is showing the game the Saturday afternoon. They said that they
    are going to show it LIVE. How the hell they're going to manage that
    when the game was played last weekend, is a bit hard to understand.
    But I'm not surprised by anything the satellite stations claim anymore.
    They're a shower of bleedin' liars, Patrick.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Ted.
373.5Aaaah, Hurling, Gaelic Football and Aussie Rules...KAOM25::RUSHTONUnscathed by inspired lunacyWed Nov 28 1990 17:3612
And next year the Geek Cup is going to be offered to the winning team after
they climb out of their sandbox in Winterpeg.  That should guarantee that
the Bummers win again since they will be acclimatised to the -50�C weather.

I was so dismayed by the lacklustre play that I went out and bought a video
tape ($20) on Aussie Rules Football - now there's a game!!

Ted, watch a Hurling match instead, you're wasting your time on ESPN and the
Geek Cup.

    (Jeez, I remember walking to Hedges Junior High, across a huge field
    with nothing between me and the North Pole but a few polar bears . 
    BTW Is the corner of Portage and Main STILL the coldest place in Canada, 
    with the wind chill factor ?)

    Pat,
    
    I hate hurling. It's bush league. They all look pale and sloppy. There
    isn't a single player that can keep his socks up. Not only that but
    it's literally amazing that you find about 6 different colored helmets
    on the same team. No style. Give me good ol' hockey anytime. All sports
    in Ireland are bush-league.
    
    Ted.

After viewing the 1984 Grand Final in Melbourne, I have to conclude
that Aussie Rules Football is the best sport on foot-and-ground.  The
only other sport that might exceed it for exhilaration is ice-hockey.

    Your reference to Australian No-Rules Football as a "sport" makes me
    wonder if you're as sane as I thought you were. However, me calling
    hockey a sport is the same isn't it Pat. No wonder we get along.
    
    Ted.
