Were you born in an Esks Championship year?

[griswold]

I for one, was born in an Esks championship year. Just curious how many of you out there were born in the same year as an Esks Grey Cup win? So the easiest way to do this is via poll.

In case anyone forgets the 13 greatest years of all time, here they are....

2005
2003
1993
1987
1982
1981
1980
1979
1978
1975
1956
1955
1954

No, but my boy was (2005)!

He almost had a pefect year:

In addition, my boy also witnessed the following:

Gold Medal World Juniors

The Oilers were almost the first team to win from the date of his birth.

And Team Canada pooched the Olympics, where they were favoured to win.

Nope. '86 was a lousy year Esks and Oilers both blew it.

At least Canada made the World Cup that year .

Confession time. I was born in 1971. Until last year, it was the last year the Esks missed the playoffs.

Born less then 2 months after the 1980 Grey Cup win. The Eskimos were winning it while I was conceived, when I was born and when I was a year old.

I was born in 1961. My parents first bought Esks season tickets in 1962. I'm not sure but maybe they wanted to get out of the house for some reason...

I was whelped before there were calendars. We just made marks on rocks.

I think the pre-Esks won the mark before I was calved.

Re: Were you born in an Esks Championship year?

No for me, but after I was birthed the Esks went on a three-year run. I inspired them.

Confession time. I was born in 1971. Until last year, it was the last year the Esks missed the playoffs.

Hey, that's the year I graduated from high school. Was supposed to be in 1969 except for this little incident in Grade 5.

Yep, born in '82.

Same year as my son.

But were you born before or after the 86 Cups were won? If the first Cups to be played after you were born were the 87 Cups, then I'd say you had a pretty good start.
