I remember this. One of the best Grey Cup games ever played.

Look at that team picture and look at those nice clean boards! Thats the way the boards should look IMO.

love the cfĺ football team bc lions

man we had another amazing dynasty with the eskimos,talk about spoiled

Johnny Rogers!

Indeed a fantastic post...nothing like the voice of Mr. Danny Gallivan...so many nights I listened to the Sunday night HNIC national hockey broadcast...before it was eventually scrapped in the mid 70's. Used to love to be in bed with my little transistor radio under the covers. Listening to Danny Gallivan, Bill Hewitt and DanKelly. There was something special about those radio broadcasts...used to listen to the Calgary Centennial broadcasts too. Loved all the discussion and commentary after the whistle...The sounds of the crowd and organ. Shame the intermissions and post game were cut out of this, cant get enough of Gallivan's insight and delivery.

This video reflects the period of Canadian broadcasting before TSN and Sportsnet appeared - TV channels were far more mainstream than they are today. Instead of having a channel for everything as we do today, one's choices were much more limited in 1972. It was customary back then that CBC and CTV would share the broadcast. In this case, CBC did the first half and CTV the second. This game was the crowning jewel of those incredible Tiger Cat teams that were such a force from the mid 1950's to the 1970's. But let's give credit to Saskatchewan too. The Riders were an incredible team as well. As a result, it's not surprising that this was a remarkable game that went down to the very last play, and it's fun to watch this again.

Go gizmo go

awesome. what a run, great memories.

Good game

GIZMO!!!!! He will never have to buy a drink in our city ever

Great game. I was there. Ron Lancaster actually had a great game, with something like 22 out of 29 passes completed, huge yardage. One long bomb he completed as he was falling back after being hit. The officials weren't too correct this championship and there was no play reviews like we have now. Ronnie and George's last big show. If the refs hadn't been biased on several important plays, the stubble jumpers would have won.

There were some bad calls in that 71 Grey Cup game. Linterman clearly fumbled the ball and it shouldnt have been blown dead. Mcquay's fumble was caused by the ground...the year before there was a new rule instated that the ground cannot cause a fumble. It was pretty messy game with Both QBs QBs playing poorly...Don't what Keeling was thinking on that pick by Thornton. Then there was Harry Aboffs booting the ball out of bounds. That 70 western final was epic...game 3 of a best of three...second to least year for that format.

Riders need to return to these uniforms...

HEY THAT MAKES TWO, MARV LEVY LOSES 2 CHAMPIONSHIPS ON WIDE RIGHT FIELD GOALS, HA HA HA OH MAN THE HUMANITY

Wow. There aren't flags thrown after every play. They actually let teams play the game, and compete against the opposition. I hate to say it, but this game felt more like a genuine game of Football than anything that's come from the NFL since the mid 90's.

These athletes play hard enough to make more than 80.000 dollars a year.

Nice stache @44:08 Glen Suitor

I was there

Angelo "King Kong" Mosca was a bad mother

Great post! Thanks for this!

Jamie taras is awesome

I've never watched cfl but ill give it a try :D

Dunnigan with Damon Allen as a backup.....wow....strong team.

GUS JOHNSON!!!!! YES haha thank you!!

Wikipedia has a page listing Grey Cup announcers. It says that Dick Shatto did the second-half colour commentary alongside Esaw.

VCR... I like your style

This game was not played in july but in august. GO BOMBERS!!!!!!!!!!!

CFL is a thousand times more exciting than the NFL

In the 1st half it was Don Chevrier and Russ Jackson...In the 2nd half it sounds like Johnny Esaw (sp) and I don't know who the colour guy is...

great game

Andrew Harris a very good player, he is very strong, doesn't look like it, but he was dragging and breaking tackles a lot in this game.he is going to be a good player.

I love watching the CFL whether they're current or not here, keep this up for sure!

Thanks for uploading this! GO ESKIES!!!

Many thanks for uploading this game, even though my Eskies got their asses handed to them this game! GO ESKS GO ALL THE WAY TO THE GREY CUP IN 2013!!!

Who are the announcers? The color guy in the 2nd half sounds like Frank Rigney?

RIP Don Wittman

This was an incredible series, one of the best I've ever seen.

Now thats a snow storm.

YES. More 2011 games. Good work.

nice thx!!!

Grazie!!!

The defining moments of that game had to be BC's third quarter drive for a touchdown. In a pass-first league, it was impressive to see an entire drive of running plays by halfback Cory Philpot and fullback Sean Millington. They looked unstoppable.

GO ARGOS!!!!!!!! ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS IN THE CFL. RIP JOHN CANDY

96 the year i was born :D thanks John

Nice!!! Thanks Dude!!!
