Ticats' Cobourne faces former team on TSN tonight
Avon Cobourne harbours no beef with the Montreal Alouettes.
The colourful, sometimes outspoken tailback spent five seasons in Montreal, helping the club win two straight Grey Cup titles. But he left the Alouettes in the off-season to sign a multi-year deal as a free agent with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Cobourne will face his former team for the first time Friday when the Ticats (2-2) host the Alouettes (3-1) at Ivor Wynne Stadium. Watch it in the first half of TSN's Wendy's Friday Night Football doubleheader tonight at 6:30pm et/3:30pm pt. You can also catch live streaming on TSN.ca along with our live blog and also on TSN Mobile TV.
"It's just another game," Cobourne said Thursday. "Don't get me wrong, I want to win but I don't know what the feeling is when you play your former team.
"I don't have that feeling of hate or anger or I want to beat them because of this or that. I just feel like it's just another game and I want to go out and play my best and help my team try to win it."
Cobourne, 32, began his CFL career as a linebacker with Montreal but became the club's starting running back in 2008. He registered 1,557 all-purpose yards that season and was an East Division all-star before earning CFL honours in 2009 with 1,214 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns. Cobourne capped that season off nicely as the MVP of the Als' 28-27 Grey Cup win over Saskatchewan.
The five-foot-eight, 200-pound Cobourne ran for 956 yards in 2010, averaging 5.2 yards a carry. And once again he finished his season celebrating a Grey Cup title following Montreal's 21-18 victory over Saskatchewan.
"It was just business," Cobourne said of his departure from Montreal. "I'm not taking it personal at all because I feel I won in the whole deal."
Hamilton signed Cobourne to not only strengthen its run game but more importantly give the club more of a swagger. The Ticats have finished second in the East Division behind Montreal the last two years and figured adding players like Cobourne who've experienced success and know what it takes to win will help catapult the club to is first Grey Cup appearance since winning it in '99.
After dropping their first two games of the season, Hamilton is back at .500. Cobourne ran for 100 yards on 14 carries and scored his first two TDs with the Ticats in their 39-31 road win over the B.C. Lions last weekend. It was Cobourne's 13th career 100-yard rushing performance.
