The sudden news that the CFL and XFL are talking about partnership had some CFL fans concerned that the league might merge with the XFL and lose the features which make it entertaining, such as the rouge, three downs instead of four, etc.
I was reminded, of course, of the CFL's expansion into the US in the mid 90s. I was trying to locate a game to post in which Ottawa didn't stink out the joint for a change when I was reminded that they hosted the first regular season game played by an American team in the league. The contest took place on July 7th, 1993.
Smeltzer was proven correct in his prediction that Sacramento would be good in short order. When the two teams met again in Sacramento on September 11th, the Gold Miners would skunk the Rough Riders by a score of 47-15
But at least we won the historic one.
