  1. Tidbits courtesy of bluebombers.com and our man Ed Tait: https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/09/02/game-preview-labour-day-classic-2/ *Note: a win this weekend would clinch a playoff spot for the Blue Bombers for a seventh straight season, their longest run since a 17-year streak ended in 1997. - Zach Collaros is 6-0 in his career in Labour Day Classic games – 3-0 during his days in Hamilton, 1-0 in his one season in Saskatchewan and 2-0 in Winnipeg. In those games has a 13:3 TD-to-interception ratio while passing for 300 yards three times and over 400 yards in 2015 while with the Ticats. - The Blue Bombers are 24-3 against West Division clubs since 2021. - A victory in Regina this weekend would give the Blue Bombers a winning record on the road for the third consecutive season, matching a mark last set from 1960-62. These are the good times, folks. I hope you are all savoring them.

  4. Didn't like Proulx when he first became a head referee, but IMO he has morphed into the best head ref the league has.

  8. All this hate for Rourke is the sourest of grapes. We love Canadians!!! Not that one though!!! Virtually every player dreams of being in the NFL, but let's hate on Rourke for actually doing it!!! Let's poke holes in his nationality and college experience but completely gloss over Wolitarsky every time it is accurately pointed out he is just as fake a Canadian, faker even!!! That TSN and the rest of the major outlets latch on to a QB over any other position is an obvious no-brainer in terms of getting eyes on content and should be a surprise to NOBODY. If Bryan Burnham and Trevor Lawrence among others can sing the kids praises on Twitter (they could have just stayed quiet) I have no reason to think he was anything but a team player that earned the respect of his peers up North and down South. He's getting to do what 99.9% of Canadian QBs will never get do, and the CFL keeps getting brought up as part of the conversation. We should be happy for the exposure as well as the kid but leave it to some of you guys to be miserable about something positive.

  10. Kuony Deng is a player I’ve been excited about since I heard he was on their negotiation list. You can do a lot of things with a guy like that, he’s got good edge rushing ability but he’s also an unbelievable tackler in open space … I think his numbers his best year at Cal were like 110 tackles in 13 games or something.

  11. At the risk of sounding like an old man yelling at a cloud ( I'm only 30 ) What the he'll is up with everyone here lately? Everyone seems so ****** grumpy and shitty to each other. It's a football forum! We're 10-3 and been to 3 gcs in a row. And several people here just nit picking at each other. Not healthy debate either, just petty **** -- maybe I'm on my own here but it seems as I lurk lately mbb is losing some of its magic. I only speak for myself but it keeps me away from contributing, I feel others probably too

  12. Fun fact about Migs: I once questioned his opinion on something related to the Riders, and he PM’d me asking if I wanted to meet up and fight him. It never happened, but that story cracks me up every time I think about it.

  13. Exactly how many yards in retaliation penalties before you're acting like a real man? It's called discipline, something our team prides itself on. Best revenge is laying 50 points on them this weekend

  18. On a diff note...Schoen has hit over 1000 yards again....Demski is 69 yards away and amazingly Lawler needs only 380 over last 4 gams to hit that mark as well, and that would be in only 12 games played....and probably have over 30 TD's combined between them...pretty damn good top 3 on a team

  24. So much this. Been following this team since I was a kid in the 70s. As a kid there were many heartbreaks with teams that had so much potential but came up empty. It might have been easier to take had the potential not been there...but the squandering of potential is always sad. John Daly comes to mind. So much potential and talent seemingly squandered. I came into this season filled with that notion of a team with so much potential to right the wrong of last year's GC. The re-signing of important vets...the return of Lawler...the potential of another Wpg born back, etc... Instead we're getting this schizophrenic team who doesn't seem to know who it is from week to week...world beaters or potential-squanderers? I can take the down/rebuilding years...it's all part of the game...but watching these guys come out flat, giving up early leads and either having to scrap back to win...or lose...to inferior teams really p*sses me off. Combine that with some of the most incompetent officiating I can remember and I'm a frustrated camper. I'll be the first to admit I don't have the football acumen that some on here do but I can't help but lay the blame for this frustration at the feet of coaches. Yeah professionals should be able to get themselves fired up/prepared for games but damn it, it's up to coaches to MAKE SURE that's happening. If the only thing firing you up for a game is losing the previous game...well that doesn't seem like a recipe for success

  29. We'd like to announce a change in our discussion guidelines that we believe will enhance the purpose and atmosphere of this board. We will no longer allow discussions on political or other controversial topics in this forum. Reasons for the Decision: Purpose and Vision: This message board was created with one goal in mind - to foster discussions around Blue Bomber football. We wish to keep the focus on that. Moderation Overload: Our moderator team, who generously donate their time, have found themselves spending an overwhelming amount of effort on moderating political and related discussions. Civilized Debate: As societal topics have become more polarized, it has been observed that discussions easily derail into emotional arguments. Keeping the forum conducive to healthy debate has been challenging. We encourage those interested in engaging in these debates to seek out specialized forums that cater to those topics. We understand that some of you might have strong feelings about this change. However, the decision is final. This announcement will be locked for further comments. If you have serious concerns, my PMs are open. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Let's keep our passion for Blue Bomber football alive and strong! The Moderator Team

    No coach I’d rather have than O’Shea, but I’m with Booch … his roster management is horrendous. I’m not concerned with how good we’re doing, I’m concerned with how we could be doing so much better. It’s almost comical in a way because everything that Booch and I have been saying all year is more or less exactly what has happened, but people still want to make excuses for it. We said key injuries with improper use of the practice roster will lead to us not being able to replace guys adequately - look at Janarion Grant. We said not having a proper rotation on the DL will gas Willie/Jeffcoat - they haven’t had a sack in forever and are visibly gassed. We said rostering a bunch of special teams bodies in lieu of some actual defensive depth may cost us a game down the road - look at how gassed our D was in Ottawa, even if you want to put the blame for the L in other areas. This roster management has been atrocious all year. Do I want O’Shea fired? No. Do I want someone to tell him that he needs to wake up and start doing a better job of it? Yes please. And don’t start up with this “he knows more about football than we could ever know” stuff, there’s a reason every single head coach gets fired at some point and it’s because they’re people just like us - with weak points, biases and blind spots that affect them just as they affect other human beings.

  45. Regardless of who sees the field Sunday, breath of fresh air that the Bombers allow players adequate time to recover and don't rush them back. It's little things like that that players want to play here.
