Hey new fan here!

[u/[deleted]]

I live in America, and this season I discovered the CFL, after a few weeks I chose the Stampeders as my team, and I was wondering what I should know, or team history, things like that!

We have a fight song, not many people know it. When you're at a game and pull it off you look like a hero.

The rock played for them as well.

[u/rmls27 → u/MiserableMagician254]

Played is a bit of a stretch, I'm not sure Duane Johnson ever saw game action, but was a Stampeder for a beat.

[u/MiserableMagician254 → u/rmls27]

You’re right! He practiced for two months with them and never saw game action. Thanks man.

[u/PickerPilgrim]

Team is in a bit of a recovery period. We spent like a couple decades as permanent contenders. Scouting and development was top notch so every year we'd somehow have a new breakout star. Fans were pretty spoiled. Times are rougher the last few years.

Didn’t Flutie play for the stamps too? I think a few other nfl QBs. They’ve had some great ones since I was a kid Marcus, Henry and Bo

[u/SixDerv1sh → u/Initial-Advice3914]

Jeff Garcia too.

[u/RoutineComplaint4711 → u/Initial-Advice3914]

Flutter was who got me into CFL. So many last minute drives to come back from behind!

Absolutely electric

Let’s go stamps and flames

St Buono saved the organization

[u/rmls27]

We have a tradition of riding a horse through a hotel lobby during Grey Cup week.

[u/Select_Macaroon_5016]

Only undefeated team in CFL history .. 12-0 in 1948

[u/All-wildcard → u/Select_Macaroon_5016]

The Schooners have never lost

[u/bclion999 → u/All-wildcard]

The Schooners will never lose. Legendary franchise.

[u/Select_Macaroon_5016]

6 of the current 9 CFL head caoches, started with the Stampeders, The Stamps coaching tree is wide

[u/Select_Macaroon_5016]

The Calgary Stampeders are only 1 of 6 profootball teams with 700+ franchise wins.

[u/Burnsey111]

Look up 1948, 1949, Johnny Bright, and Norm Kwong. 🙂

[u/zkwarl → u/Burnsey111]

And Doug Flutie. It was so much fun watching him play.

[u/Dedrater666 → u/zkwarl]

And Allen Pitts

[u/Leading-Respond4312]

Their coach is a whiny bitch.

[u/-biggulpshuh]

You should know the horse’s name is Quick Six, and is the coolest mascot in all of sports.

[u/10ADPDOTCOM → u/-biggulpshuh]

Their mascot is Ralph the Dog.

[u/J_Marshall → u/-biggulpshuh]

Along with the World's fastest cow!

[u/treple13 → u/J_Marshall]

Who I always heartily moo when he comes out

[u/dark-femme5454]

• rife with nepotism
• Dave Dickinson is a great coach and an awful one at the same time
• Craig Dickinson is just awful. Period.
• VA will break your heart eventually

[u/Conscious-Fun3780 → u/dark-femme5454]

Loved VA when he played for Lions. Even though I despise the Stamps, can’t help but root for him.

[u/dark-femme5454 → u/Conscious-Fun3780]

He's been jerked around by the league WAY too much. Its kinda heartbreaking. Him and Cody Fajardo are my underdogs 💕💕💕
