Farewell to the Montreal Alouettes. They folded last night when their new owners decided that selling 4000 season tickets was not enough to justify keeping the team alive. As a result, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers move to fill the space held by Montreal in the CFL East Division. What do people think of the CFL? Will it stick around for a few more years and then die? Should it pack up now? Do people care about it? I for one feel that the Blue Bombers now have a free pass to the Grey Cup every year. Of course, being a former Winnipegger, I can't complain about this... still, it's not a good thing to have happen. Jim Trivia: The last Waterloo graduate to play in the CFL was Frank Kosec, with the Montreal Alouettes/Concordes.
