Ja-son Ja-son!!!

This is what I and a girl in front of us chanted on various occasions this season when Ricky Ray seemed to be struggling, as Edmonton Eskimo season ticket holders in upper Section F (the Lieutenant-Governor section - right above Normie Kwong on the Eskimo Wall of Fame). Too bad the coach didn't do something last week, when we lost and ended up 3rd instead of 1st going into the playoffs - but at least Maciocia realized that he had to pull the highest-paid player in the CFL in order to get something going.

So, from being down 23-12 at the half, we went on to win 33-26 thanks to Jason Maas, the backup QB who was actually the starter last year (when Ray tried to make the NFL). (And I guess also thanks to Sean Fleming for making 6 of 6 field goals or we wouldn't have even been able to come back).

It was interesting last weekend watching the documentary "The Inner Circle" about the Eskies' 3 QB's, how friendly they are to each other - yet competitive.

Anyway, on to BC Place next weekend and the Lions ... then hopefully the Grey Cup!
