NOTES
Brothers Brock and Brett Ralph will take opposite sides of the Battle of Alberta. The receivers can't wait: "I think it'll be a great experience, something we can look back on,'' said Brett, a standout rookie with the Stamps. ... The last time the Eskimos played against Henry Burris, he was leading Saskatchewan to an upset victory in last year's west semifinal. Edmonton holds an overwhelming advantage in the head-to-head series with Calgary (114-67-4), including an impressive 25-16-1 record on Labour Day ... The Stamps will unveil their new third jersey today, predominently black with slightly more red accents than before. The team is 10-3 when they wear the good-luck threads... New Stamps SB Kori Dickerson is six-foot-five, 254 pounds, and can high jump seven feet. The Esks only have one DB over six feet tall.
