Blue Bombers vs Argonauts!  Winnipeg beat Toronto 23-22 earlier this season.  Bombers -6 and have won two Grey Cups in a row.  Jackson Jeffcoat is one of their D stars.

From Regina, Sask.  Kickoff temps should be about 25 F.   No snow. :(

After the Grey Cup victory in 1935, The Winnipeg Tribune sports writer Vince Leah called the team the "Blue Bombers of Western football". Until then, the team had no official nickname, but they quickly began using "Winnipeg Blue Bombers". Journalist Jim Coleman wrote that the name came at a time when boxer Joe Louis had international success with nickname, the Brown Bomber.[13]
