It's Grey Cup week! Dave and Jock set up the Bombers-Ti Cats matchup...then Dave sits down with Stampeder legend Jeff Garcia to talk about the '98 win that cemented Garcia's place in Stampeder folklore. The party, the pick, the collision, the drive, and then the after party!

Coach Dave Dickenson joins Jock Wilson for Tom's House of Pizza.

It's been on his mind for a while, but sometime this year, Brandon Smith decided it's time to call it quits. We had the chance to look back on some his many great moments, and look ahead to what's next with the man himself.

This week we once again take a look at someone who's made the Calgary Stampeders his life's work.....from helping you find your seat....to helping us find advertisers for our Stampeder broadcasts. He's Ron Rooke, and if for some reason you haven't heard the name, you'll want to hear the stories from decades spent close to the team.

Calgary Stampeders head coach Dave Dickenson

It'd be fair to sale Wayne Harris Jr. is part of the first family of Calgary football. Son of a legend, a former Dino and Stampeder himself, and part of the High School and amateur scene for decades. And he wouldn't have it any other way.

Calgary Stampeders head coach Dave Dickenson

This week we wrap up our 'Meet the Crew' segment with Game Day Host Jock Wilson. Learn the proper way to pronounce 'Pouce Coupe' and so much more!

For American players, the road to the CFL isn't generally a straight line.

We talk to Azeem about that experience, and what life is like trying to make ends meet as a CFL practice roster player.

Head coach Dave Dickenson joins Jock to review the week 4 win in Saskatchewan and the job quarterback Nick Arbuckle did.

Normally when a former player joins the podcast, it's a big name guy who had great years, won championships, that kind of thing. Swerve! This guy, spent 21 days as a Stampeder and didn't do much of anything on the field here! But Paul Hickie has an important message on men's health that'll resonate with anyone any time.

Stampeders head coach Dave Dickenson joined Jock to discuss the latest with quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell's injury and what he saw when Nick Arbuckle stepped into the Week 3 game against the B.C. Lions. This interview originally aired on 'Sports Talk with Jock' on Tuesday, July 2, 2019.

Two teams that aren't necessarily desperate, but maybe a little nervous are set to meet this weekend with the Stamps hosting the Lions. The story's less about the return of Devonne Claybrooks and more about he fact  both a re winless. Dave and jock try to figure out who's done a better job of addressing their problems.

Well it wasn't a total dumpster fire, but the season opener between the Stamps and the Redblacks wasn't always pretty from a Calgary standpoint. Soooooooo, when you have a problem, call the fire department! We did, and reached former Stamp turned fire fighter Randy Chevrier to talk about teams in transition, and cheap shot artists past and present.

Finally! Pre season's done, the cuts have been made, it's time for week one of the 2019 season as the Stampeders look to repeat as Grey Cup Champs! Dave, Jock and special guest Danny Austin from PostMedia break down the strengths and weaknesses, and make their bold picks for the Grey Cup!

Dave Dickenson joins Jock for his regular hit on Sportstalk with Jock and he says the team is carrying less players this season because they thought the salary cap was going to be higher.

One preseason game down, one to go. Who looks like a Stampeder? Who looks like they're headed for a ticket out of town? Jock and Dave take their best shot at who makes the opening day roster. Also, Mark Stephen chats with new linebackers coach J.C. Sherritt.

Jock and Dave are joined by Mark and Greg as the crews gears up for another year of Stampeder football. What are the prospects to repeat? What does the new CBA mean? And did Greg Die?????? (Spoiler alert: NO)

Free agency, CBA talks, Grey Cup news, The hits just keep-a-coming in a jam packed CFL off season. Dave and Jock have their takes on all the hot topics right here!

CFL free agency is less than a week away, The Stampeders have no quarterback, few receivers and a thin D line. Oh, and there's no CBA to guide teams on what they have to spend either. Jock and Dave welcome you to 2019 with a deep dive into the hopes in the Stamps line up and the hopes to fill them.

CFL Free agency is a week away and the Stampeders have a long list of unsigned players, including their MOP QB! Oh, and the CFL and its players have yet to sit down and hammer out a new CBA so both sides know what they have to work with. Jock and Dave try to make some sense of it on the first Calgary Stampeder Podcast of 2019!

CFL 2018 is in the books, but what will CFL 2019 look like? This off season looks like a perfect storm of roster upheaval, CBA challenges, a new rival league and who knows what else for the Calgary Stampeders. Dave Jock, and special guest Danny Austin from PostMedia try to make sense of it all.

Let's be honest. The City of Edmonton just raised the bar on what's expected of a grey Cup host city, and guess who's up next? Calgary and the Stampeders will be rolling out the red carpet in 2019, and regardless of who's in the game, Mike Franco and the Stampeder brass will work hard to make sure next year's event is second to none.

The 2018 season has been one long grind for Stamp fans, waiting to see if the team can get back to the Grey Cup, and win it after two years of bitter diasspoinments. The answer to question one is yes, but we'll have to wait until Sunday to find out whether or not they can close the deal.

It's down to West vs East for the awards......and West vs West and East vs East for the tickets to the Grey Cup! Who will still be standing? We have our thoughts, yours may differ!

Can Wally Buono do what's never been done before and take Western team through the East to the Grey Cup? Can the Bombers conquer the hostile enviroment of Mosiac Stadium and live to fight another Sunday? Jock and Dave check in with Bob Irving of CJOB Winnipeg and Rick Zamprin of CHML Hamilton to find out!

Respected by all? Yep. Universally loved? Weeeelllllllll maybe not, but there's no denying the impact Wally Buono has had on the CFL and the Calgary Stampeders. With the Stamps and Lions set ot meet in Wally's last regular season game, we look back on the man and his career with former Stamp Greg Peterson.

As the season winds down, the debate ramps up as to who the CFL's best of the best are. Most Outstanding Player, Outstanding Canadian, Rookie of the Year, Top Lineman, Top Special Teamer, all for grabs and this week Postmedia's Danny Austin joined Jock and Dave to pick the Stampeder nominees, with their thoughts on who the final names named will be during Grey Cup week.

Legal marijuana is now a reality in Canada, and with weed use an open secret among CFL players, what, if anything is going to change? CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie says it might be a unique opportunity for the league.

It's been a nightmarish year for the Stampeder receiving corps with body after body falling by the wayside. This week Dave and Jock take a deep dive into the state of CFL receving, and take a fond look back at some of the greatest Stampeder receivers OF ALL TIME!!!!!!

Seems like you can't throw a rock in this city without hitting a former Stampeder player who's decided to make his football home his home for life after football. David Heasman's one of them. A native Calgarian who settled into an oil an gas career when his playing days were over, Heasman talks about what keeps players here after football, and what the Stampeder Alumni do to make the city a better place.

Who doesn't love a good top 5 list? Certainly we do! And this week we've got one with a twist, namely, who are the top 5 influencers in Stampeder history? We're talking builders, owners, football people anyone who's had a big influence on establishing the team and culture that is the Calgary Stampeders.

USports schools will never be accused of being football factories. You want to play? You had best make sure that grade point average is up. Free ride on tuition? Not gonna happen. We'll get teh student athlete story from both sides with Stampeder long snapper and Laval Grad PL Caron and DInos head coach Wayne Harris.

Just when Stan Schwartz thought he'd seen it all with the Calgary Stampeders, he got to see a game from an entirely new angle! We'll talk about that and the Wall of Famer and Hall of Famer's memories this week!

Going into the 2018 season the Calgary Stampeders were a team facing some hard questions. How will the loss of Charleston Hughes affect the team? How good is the offensive line? Are there any names I recognize in the secondary besdies Brandon Smith? Soooooo, how's all that workin' for ya at the midway mark? Dave Rowe, Jock Wilson and special gues podster Danny Austin weigh in.

How you define what constitutes a Labour Day 'Classic' is  a matter of degrees. Two of 'em to be exact. If you're on the 51st degree of North latitude, you dream in Red and White. Two degrees north, and those colours change to Green and Gold. This week, we talk to the play by play voices of the Stamps and Esks to get some differeing views on the best of labour Day.

Leaving home for a new job can be ttrying at the best of times, but what if that new job takes you into a new country, a new culture, and a new climate that's just different enough to jangle the nerves? Dave and Jock talk to a Stampeder veteran who figured it out.

Flutie or Garcia? Hughes or Johnson? With so many legendary stars over the decades, how do you pick the the ten best Stampeders ever? Dave, Jock, and Mark Stephen take their shots this week. WARNING! Your personal top ten may differ!

Most players say their number one goal after football is to get into coaching, but few are able to do it successfully. Joshua Bell is one of the excpetions to that rule. In his first year on the job, Bell had made a seamless transition from the sideline to the coach's box, or at least he did once he figured out where the coach's box was!

So you think you're an old school Stamps fan because you remeber more than one Forzani? Think again. You got nuthin' on Daryl Slade, a one man walking encyclopedia of Stampeder knowledge.

Time, as they say, is undefeated. Sooner or later, and probably sooner than most players expect, every career comes to an end. So now what? We'll talk to former Stampeder Randy Chevrier about the trials of finding yourself as a person and a professional when the only life you've ever know in done, and you're still a young man with bills to pay and a family to feed.

After re-living the horror show that was the F-troop years last time out, Dave and Jock recall happier times and talk about the '92 Grey Cup Champion team with former Stampeder and 770 CHQR analyst Greg Peterson.

Winners of the Western final doing well now but what about their past?  At one time there was a question of whether or not the team would even survive at all.  This week on the show we dig into the Stamps history going back to the SOS campaign of 1986, the arrival of Wally Buono, plus we hear from right Jamie Crysdale about what it was like as a player to go through it all..

Why did Scott Coe show up at practice in a Limo? A look back at some good times with one of the most colouful Stamps' stars of the '90s.
