MONTREAL -- The Montreal Alouettes are sporting T-shirts this week with their slogan for this year's run at the Grey Cup -- This Is It.
"It just means that whatever we're doing at the time is the most important thing we're doing," coach Marc Trestman said Monday.
A day earlier, the job was to beat Toronto in the CFL East Division final and they put a 48-17 whipping on the Argonauts.
Next up are preparations for the Grey Cup against Saskatchewan at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton on Sunday.
"We took a moment this morning to congratulate ourselves one more time before we move on," Trestman said after a short team meeting. "Now we begin to plan for a new week."
The Alouettes are in their eighth championship game since 2000 and it will be three Grey Cup games in as many seasons since Trestman took over as head coach in 2008.
It will also be a second meeting in a row with the Roughriders, whom they edged 28-27 in the 2009 game on a last-second Damon Duval field goal that capped a bizarre finish to a tightly contested match-up.
They hope to become the first repeat champion since Toronto did it in 1996 and 1997.
