Rachel Brady writes with authority about the century old Hamilton-Toronto football rivalry. As she counts it up the history contains more than 300 games and countless trips along the Queen Elizabeth Way. It is not much remembered that the Argonauts and the Tiger-Cats used to meet much more often during the regular season when the Big Four and the Western League were run separately. The only time the two really met was when the winners of each contested the Grey Cup. Long gone. Ms. Brady recalls that tomorrow will be the first time in 27 years since the two teams have meet with the Cup on the line. Last time, in 1986, it was a two-game total-points series. The Argos won the first game on the road, but the Tiger-Cats overcame a 25-point deficit in Toronto to win the second game and the series, before going on to win the Grey Cup. This year the rejuvenated Ti-Cats are said to be as team on the rise. May the best team of heroes win. Rachel Brady
