Two hot teams, a sell-out crowd, and first place in the West Division on the line.
Monday's CFL game at McMahon Stadium between the Calgary Stampeders and Edmonton Eskimos on TSN at 7:30pm et/4:30 pt, has all the ingredients of being the "Classic" that it is traditionally billed.
It's the 28th consecutive season and 44th time since 1959 that the two provincial rivals have met on Labour Day and as the Stampeders completed their final preparations on Monday, the anticipation was evident.
"I'm looking forward to it in a big way," said Calgary slotback Jermaine Copeland, who is tied for the league lead in touchdowns with eight. "It's the battle of Alberta and it's what everybody's watching. The fans here are crazy about this game. No matter where you go, everybody wants you to win, to go out and bring your best game."
Calgary coach and general manager John Hufnagel understands the game's importance having also played in it as the Stampeders quarterback from 1976 to 1979.
Go Stamps Go!
