Say What: “He Was A Great Role Model”

A familiar face returns.

Tonight’s home opener against the visiting Hamilton Tiger-Cats marks the first return to McMahon Stadium for Bo Levi Mitchell since he last suited up for the Red and White in October of 2022.

The 34-year-old spent a decade in Cowtown, winning two Grey Cup championships during his tenure as QB1.

Members of the Stamps spoke on facing the veteran quarterback:

Reggie Begelton

“Naturally, I get butterflies every game, but especially the home opener. Having the title of Bo coming back home, that brings a little more juice to it. It’s going to be a fun atmosphere and I’m ready to play.”

 

Jake Maier

“He showed me the ropes of this game and how to play it at a high level, and the style of play you need to win championships in this league. He was a great role model to me.”

 

Tre Roberson

“He’s a great player, a hall-of-famer. So, to be able to share the field with someone like that is awesome.”

Mike Rose

“I am not motivated to beat Bo; I am motivated to win games. But if I do sack Bo, I will make sure he hears about it.”

Alex Singleton

The former Stamp and current Denver Bronco took to X this morning to share his excitement for tonight’s matchup.

Micah Awe

“It’s going to be a fun game. We on defence… it’s different. That’s all I’m going to say, that’s all Bo’s getting out of (watching) this.”

Makayla, Natasha and Micah Awe assemble at the newly launched ‘Coors Light Corral’ to reflect on training camp, dig into the power rankings, share a few laughs, talk about some of the keys to success for Friday’s game against Bo Levi Mitchell and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Dave Dickenson

“There’s a lot of film on Bo. We’ve had him here for 9 or 10 years, so I do believe both sides know each other quite well. We’ll see who that helps and who that hurts.”
