The Calgary Stampeders may be Grey Cup favourites, but don’t tell them that
CALGARY — The Calgary Stampeders were a 12-6 team that lost to the host 9-9 Argonauts when the Grey Cup was last held in Toronto four years ago.
The message at McMahon Stadium on Monday morning was to turn a deaf ear to talk of being prohibitive favourites against the Ottawa Redblacks.
The Stampeders (15-2-1) and the Redblacks (8-9-1) clash in the 104th Grey Cup game Sunday at Toronto’s BMO Field.
“You have all these people telling you you’re great and you start buying into it and thinking that something is going to come easy,” Stampeder quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell said.
