Well, it won't win any beauty contests. But under the circumstances, we'll take it. In fact, considering the Argos were missing half their team - and, um, Doug Flutie - by game's end, we'd even go so far as to call it gutsy.

We'd love to have done another running diary of this one, but watching the Argos is a little too emotional an experience for that to work. Watch for another of those this coming Friday, which may or may not involve the Ticats again. For now, though, just a few lingering questions:

• If we'd told you before this season or any other, anywhere, that Ricky Williams and Spergon Wynn would go down in the same game, and losing Spergon would be a bigger deal, would you have thought we were insane?
  

• Our previous exposure to Ricky, save for watching maybe one or two full Miami or New Orleans games per year, was through highlight reels. So maybe some Dolphins/Saints fans can help us out: Did he always go down so easily on shoestring tackles, or are CFL players just the finest shoestring tacklers out there?

• Would it be too much to ask that, the next time a visiting player gets injured on the last play of the first half and is being loaded onto an ambulance while his teammates are in the locker room, the home team refrain from having its cheerleaders (or junior cheerleaders, or whatever those were) dance around him during the halftime show?

• Full credit to Eric Crouch for that crazy moon-shot to Arland Bruce. But can we safely assume it worked so well because the 'Riders backs lost interest waiting for it to come down?

• How many more yards would Jeff Johnson have gotten if The Fiancee didn't keep forcing those crappy pitas on him?
