HAMILTON — Jameer Thurman has never had a problem getting himself up to play football, but the veteran linebacker admits he'll have a bit more juice than usual Saturday night.
Thurman leads Hamilton against the Calgary Stampeders in a key contest at Tim Hortons Field. It will mark Thurman's first game against the franchise he spent four seasons with before signing with the Tiger-Cats in February as a free agent.
This marks the first and only meeting this season between the two teams. Hamilton enters action third in the East Division, two points behind second-place Montreal, while Calgary is tied with idle Edmonton for fourth in the West Division. But the offence will still feature receiver Reggie Begelton , and running back Ka'Deem Carey will start despite dealing with sickness earlier this week.
Both teams are also coming off losses last week. Calgary dropped a 28-11 home decision to Montreal while Hamilton lost 29-14 in Toronto.
