You think O'Shea would start Clercius over Woli if he had them both healthy?

As long as Woli doesn't start over Clercius then depth is totally fine

For us, I think best case is he sits down there, gets released late with out TC invites for next year, so signs with us early enough then is in full rookie camp forward. I'd say go into camp next year with zach, elgersma, wilson, chase, and strevy or another league vet. Then break camp and dress Elgersma as qb3. Hopefully with a vet as a qb2, and 1 qb on the PR. If chase/wilson doesn't pan out you use the PR qb spot to try out developmental guys.

This is for sure the way. Kids tickets are quite affordable. I've been taking them to games for 3 years now. They love biking to the game, hanging out in the pre game area getting their face painted and having the bouncers and games around to play. Everyone in our section is very friendly and there are lots of high fives to be had. A lot of the kid friendly concessions are inexpensive. The ability to bring our own single serve snacks is great. I used to bring devices to keep them occupied into the second half when their attention started to wane a bit.. some games with earlier start times would help with that but I've even weened them off of that. For entertainment bang for you buck it is right there are you are going to be there 3-4 hours easy. Taking them to the movie if you don't get the Costco deal is going to be $20 a head for 2 hours. Rec Room you are going to burn through that probably an hour. Even Hide n' Seek is about $20/head for however long they last.

Can we make the joke that Lauthers baby is going to be delivered to his neighbours driveway or would that be in poor taste?

Uh oh. Not all rainbows and cousin snugglin' in Riderville these days.....

I assume the ideal situation is having him with the club next season as a 3rd stringer and starts 2027? Cut Strev and keep Wilson as backup? Or vice versa?

Jake was always that high effort rotational depth Canadian that had a use... but now he's treated like he's prime Doug Brown.... which is insane. Even when he was good he was still just depth.

Minimum 2 eggs scrambled (real eggs, not some fabricated nonsense), sausage, real hash browns (actual potatoes diced and seasoned), and buttered multi grain toast... Bonus points for as many locally sourced products as possible... I'll pay ~$20 for that no problem...

this is a little bit revisionist... most would agree he was a nice quality rotational piece on the DL... up until about 2021... my fondest memory of him (and what I would consider essentially his last useful play as a Bomber) was his bullrush that led to a holding call in OT of the 21 GC... that penalty negated a good run, put Hammy into 1st and 20, which became 2nd and 18, and the rest is history... Jake should've went out on top after that year

Breakfast requirements - cheap, lots and leave the carafe on the table.

actually if cgy wins a game in the meantime they actually fall to 3rd

Oddly enough we’ve taken 3/4 against the Riders, and we’re 4-4 since 2016 in the Labour Day classic after going over a decade without winning one. It feels more winnable then it used to in the mid 2000’s atleast. I’m never very worried about the banjobowl because we’ve almost always steam rolled the riders during those games.

Naylor says Ajou-Ajou coming back to the Riders right away after being cut down south...

Just crazy to think... If we sweep these two games we'll be 8-4 , tied with the gappers and we'll have the tie breaker. I'm cautiously optimistic

Nick's is awesome... Totally forgot about that. Small place and cash only last time I was there... But it's a very uniquely Manitoba tradition.

It's a signing bonus, it would be paid immediately for the extension. And would allow him to be paid very, very well for the remainder of this year, while not leaving us committed to a crazy cap hit for him next year if he doesn't get NFL interest. Doesn't make a lot of sense to give him a big roster bonus for after the NFL window next year, he'd have no reason to sign that and come up here today. He may as well just wait till then. Mean while we have excessive cap room because of the lack of signings and use of the cap extension.

Hey ,forgot about that, Or even Nicks ,right beside it.

As long as the bonus doesnt kick in til past the nfl window. Paying him a big bonus just to play the remainder of this season may not make sense
