With all of the snow and talk of snow removal, it’s easy to forget that the 100th Grey Cup is on Sunday.

fan.
The centennial-year Grey Cup game will be held

Stampeders.
Yet, there doesn’t seem to be a large buzz about it in Toronto.
Oddly enough, most of the recent articles pertaining to the
Grey Cup were not actually in Toronto, with the exception of The
Globe and Mail.
In fact, when I was searching the term “100th
grey cup” on Google on Thursday, the number one news item that came up

CFL, there would be more news hype in Toronto.
