Congratulations to the Riders - this team deserved it, and their fanbase certainly does.
This was a very entertaining game, lots of fun to watch. The Riders were the better team for the vast majority - nearly flawless, outside of a handful of penalties.
The Als brought the fight, and even after Alexander re-aggravated his hamstring injury, there was still a sense that they could pull something off.
Wow great opening in the second half for Riders
This 1-yard run was quite clean. The best path was selected
When will the Als substitute QB Davis Alexander for MBT?
Down by a major and Alexander's leg - things aren't looking great for the Als right now but they're still in it
Mark Carney got a boo in the stadium when the jumbotron showed the first quick shot of Mark Carney during the anthem, no?
Confirmed during the coin toss
Bienvenue a Coup Grey!! Go CFL football, LFG!!!

I haven't been following the season very closely, but I have a basic familiarity with CFL. Are the Als still at McGill (I actually saw Johnny Football play there while in town for other reasons... he was "meh."), is their ownership situation stable, and what kind of weird run did they go on to make the Grey Cup at barely over .500?
Are the Als still at McGill
They are indeed!
is their ownership situation stable
As far as I know, but it's not exactly my neighborhood.
what kind of weird run did they go on to make the Grey Cup at barely over .500?
When their starting QB is healthy, they're possibly the best team in the league. For a lot of the season...he was not healthy.
I'll answer what I can, maybe others can fill in the rest. I know we have an Als fan on here. The Als play at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium, which is owned by McGill. I think it's close to but not directly on/in the campus - but I'm not sure about that. The Als success given their record was partly due to the East (ie, Argos and Redblacks) being really weak this year. The Bombers crossed over and lost to the Als in the Eastern Semi-Finals
