...Oskee-Wa-Wa! Holy Macanaw-Tigers-Eat 'Em Raw!. The best football team fight chant in sports, was echoeing around the city for the first time in a long time last night.
D-Mac passed for 440 yards and threw three touchdown passes to help the Hamilton Tiger-Cats earn their first win of the season, as they defeated Winnipeg 41-39 in the shoot out in Steeltown.
Hamilton wasted little time giving their fans something to hoot about. The Cats cracking the scoreboard when McManus hooked up with Flick on a 72-yard scoring strike for a 7-0 lead just 30 seconds into the contest.
McManus, who was making his first start since injuring his thumb in a July 30 game versus Edmonton, also connected with Craig Yeast on a 75-yard TD toss for Hamilton (1-8), which snapped an eight-game slide.
In other Ti-Cat news, The Seattle Seahawks released Canadian university star Jesse Lumsden on Tuesday. The running back from Burlington, Ont., had been hampered by a hip injury in training camp. He did not see action in Monday's 18-10 pre-season loss to Dallas.
Lumsden won the Hec Creighton Trophy last year as Canada's outstanding university player while playing for McMaster in Hamilton. He was selected in the first round, sixth overall, of the CFL Canadian college draft this year by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats after signing as a free agent with Seattle.
Hopefully another NFL team with some insight will take a second look at Lumsden who has the potential to be a bonified all-star. If not Jess would look great in black and gold.
Later,
Kenaz
