Season Preview: Can the Stamps repeat?
Posted by admin on June 30th, 2009
John Hufnagel and the Calgary Stampeders will have a tough act to follow in 2009.
In his first year as head coach and GM, Hufnagel led the Stamps to a stellar 13-5 regular-season record and the 2008 Grey Cup championship.
Now, Calgary faces the daunting task of not only trying to repeat as the CFL champion, but also doing it at home. This year’s Grey Cup game will be played Nov. 29 at McMahon Stadium.
Only four teams since 1960 have managed to repeat as Grey Cup champions, the last being the Toronto Argonauts in 1996-’97. And not since 1994 has the home team captured a CFL title when the B.C. Lions edged Baltimore 27-24 at B.C. Place.

This is looking to be a promising season for the Stamps, and I am already picking them to be playing for the Grey Cup again this season. The East is a bit more up in the air, but Calgary seems like the team to beat out West.
