Remembering Bob Ackles

Echoing a number of callers who phoned into the postgame show on the TEAM 1040, I was disheartened to find out only 37,000 and change showed up to the game that also served as a public memorial to late-Prez and CEO Bob Ackles. (Pics inside)

I was even more disappointed to see many making a bee line to the doors immediately after the final gun sounded.

The silver lining was the final result of the game; a 27-18 come from behind win.

Fitting that the guys Mr. Ackles loved the most were the ones who came up the biggest.

M.C. Phil Reimer. Remember when he used to do weather on the CBC evening news?

Inducted into the Ring of Honor.

An emotional moment for coach Wally Buono.
