June 20th, 2003: Ottawa Renegades 27 @ Hamilton Tiger-Cats 17

There aren't many details to offer in regards to why this particular game summary is being posted today. Simply, I took a moment to add a few scores to the Renegades page from that season and decided to shine a spotlight on this season-opening contest. Any victory over Hamilton is a pleasure worth reliving anyway. 



I am reminded now that Hamilton went 1-17 that season and even that one victory very nearly eluded them.

The third-place-in-the-East Renegades still failed to make the playoffs because the fourth-place Western team (the BC Lions) crossed over and took their spot on the basis of having a better record. If not for that rule, Ottawa would have travelled to Toronto to play the 9-9 Argos, a team they were 2-1 against that year. Makes one wonder...
