Ticats Going for Two in a Row, Last Time 2006

Following the sweet Ticats win over the Lions last week, I starting thinking, when was the last time the Cats won two regular season games in a row? I could not remember. After looking on cfl.ca, it turns out the Cats last won two games in a row during the 2006 season (the Jason Maas era). On Saturday, September 16th, the Cats beat the Eskimos 27 to 22 in Hamilton. On Friday September 22, the Cats beat Edmonton again, in Edmonton, 20 to 18.

The Cats have gone 3 and 15 the past two seasons, leaving them with six chances to win two in a row and sucking on every occasion. Now the Cats have another shot, although it sad to see a team honk for so long that winning two in a row is a rare and amazing accomplishment. The soft bigotry of low expectations as George W. Bush would say.
