    Well Winnipeg + Hamilton DO have a Grey Cup rivalry going back 60+
    years! (Certainly as far back as the very early 1960s in my memory)

    Just watched the final seconds of the OT period at https://www.sportingnews.com/us/cfl/news/grey-cup-2021-live-score-highlights-winnipeg-hamilton/n4ka0enu4jc01v2r3fw2x3hol
    and no question it's pretty obvious who was celebrating and who was
    disgusted. Final score 33-25 Winnipeg over Hamilton.

    I looked at the Wiki page on the Grey Cup and this was the 10th time
    these two teams have played each other for the cup since 1935. (I knew
    it was quite a few as when I was little they played each other for the
    cup 4 out of 5 times between 1958 and 1962. (Hamilton played for the
    cup 6 out of 7 years between 1958 and 1964 (63 and 64 were against BC)
    in what has to be an all time record in any major sport)

    When I went to McMaster nearly 40 years ago I saw several games in old
    Ivor Wynne (I had been a coop student in Winnipeg and am from
    Vancouver so attended Ivor Wynne when either the Bombers or Lions were
    in town.) In 1983 I had been on coop in Winnipeg when the Cats came to
    town so was at both the game in Winnipeg and the subsequent one in
    Hamilton roughly a month later that year. That was the year of the Tom
    Clements / Dieter Brock QB trade so both players played in both games
    but on different teams!
