Argonotes

Happy 10th Anniversary, Touchdown Atlantic! A great trip for @Argonotes to Moncton, with a little help from the Mount Allison Pep Band. Just ignore the actual football score. It was a swell weekend of @CFL football in the Maritimes.

All the best to @ChadOwens2 - you were always the band's favourite player. No, wait, I think @ChadOwensJr was our favourite player. Thank you both for all the excitement.

Blogged for posterity: Current and former @TorontoArgos, rendered as emoji. shayman.micro.blog/2018/08/2… Will add more if (a) anybody comes up with more, and (b) I can figure out what Mike’s mean. h/t @thescullerwag @jennannis @MikeHoganArgos

Instead of the Kiss Cam, how about helping new fans learn the game? shayman.micro.blog/2018/08/2… Part of my continuing series where I attempt to fix football.

Fifty years ago, the great Dal Richards released the legendary @CFL Songs album. argonotes.com/CFLSongs/ Thanks @TorontoArgos for playing “Go Argos Go” after the touchdowns, and to the other teams keeping these songs alive. And thanks, Dal. Your album’s in the Hall of Fame. – at Oakville, Ontario

Argos! TFC! Marlies! Hey Edmonton - Can we have that “CITY OF CHAMPIONS” sign? – at Niagara, Toronto

Ten years ago today, @Argonotes performs at the Grey Cup pregame, hoping that nobody turns on the water in the fountain. m.youtube.com/watch?v=mqdI_8… – at Ottawa, Ontario

Permit? What permit? Who needs a permit? Here’s @RobLeth’s story on 2007’s “Not the #GreyCup Parade”. youtube.com/watch?v=PcTH32SQ… thanks for the help, @SKRiderPepBand and the Calgary Grey Cup Committee! – at Halton, Ontario

Aargh, I can’t believe I missed it! Last Saturday was the 20th Anniversary of Toronto Mayor Barbara Hall proclaiming “Toronto Argonotes Day”. (At the Grey Cup victory parade at City Hall. Really. She glanced at the band halfway through reading a proclamation and got rattled.) – at Halton, Ontario

13 years ago today, we didn’t have tickets, but after creatively testing a few doors, we snuck on to the field for the Grey Cup presentation. An all time Argonotes highlight. – at Halton, Ontario
