July 30th, 1975: Ottawa Rough Riders 31 @ Hamilton Tiger-Cats 09

John Perlberg provided us with this statistical gem Tuesday night on Twitter following the REDBLACKS win over Edmonton.


Why, thank you for the post inspiration! I tracked down the Ottawa Journal summary of that game for your reading pleasure.

I find it interesting that so many of us are irritated by mid-week games yet I've come across a few from the past recently. You'll note that this one was played on a Wednesday. While gathering results from the late 40s, I noticed there were some mid-week games back then as well when games were only played within the Big Four teams, so not as a results of an odd number of teams in the league. Evidently, for a spell, playing on a Tuesday or Wednesday wasn't that unusual.
