Grey Cup

Passion. Pouvoir. Fierté. Nos Alouettes!

Pride. Passion. Power. Our Alouettes!


The temperature is hovering around the freezing mark in Winnipeg on a clear night with little wind.

6:30. The first points of the 94th Grey Cup are on the board as Paul McCallum's 34-yard field goal has the B.C. Lions leading the the Montreal Alouettes 3-0 in the first quarter.

6:38. Another McCallum field goal. Now 6-0, still first quarter.

6:45 Another McCallum field goal. Cripes, somebody stop the man! Now 9-0.

6:57. The Lions are having the Alouettes for dinner. Ian Smart ran for a 25-yard touchdown and McCallum made the point: 16-0, second quarter.

7:20. Whew. At least the Als won't get skunked. Damon Duval just made a 43-yard field goal. 16-3, second quarter.

7:30. Argh. Will somebody please do something about McCallum??? Yet another 30+ yard field goal ... 19-3.



Second half underway.

8:09. Ah, this is more like it. A safety for the Alouettes - McCallum (that man!) concedes in the end zone. 19-5.

8:28. Closing the gap! Robert Edwards runs it in for Montreal, and Duval made the kick. Go Als! 19-12.

8:48. That McCallum man again! Another field goal. 22-12, in the fourth quarter.

9:00. Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Yet another field goal by McCallum (47 yards, no less). 25-12.

9:17. Another Montreal safety, but much too little much too late, I'm afraid. 25-14 with under 2 minutes to play.



9:28. Congrats to the Lions. They outplayed the Als from the beginning.

Paul McCallum tied a Grey Cup record with six field goals as BC went on to win their 5th Grey Cup in the team's 52-year history.

The Als struggled offensively, with fumbles and interceptions by Calvillo, and although they held the Lions to one touchdown, McCallum's golden night was too much.

Ah, well... Next year.
