Alright... At the airport with a 10:30am pint in hand.... Ready for a business trip to #DefendTheFort #FortHew. Ell. Eff. Gee.

Good for Toronto that they sold out their original 19,000 seat allotment and are expanding capacity bit by bit by opening up sections. And they’ve arranged a pre-game hip-hop concert and sweater giveaway for the first 10,000 through the gates. Baby steps, but at least they are trying.

**** that team so much... Listen, I don't know Farhan from a hole in the ground and by all accounts, he's a peach of a human, but I wanna win so bad, just to see him cry about it on TV when I rewatch the game on my PVR.

Yes, we're meeting at the stadium. I'll be in the Bomber toque.

Ed Tait yesterday on the radio at 7pm said they sold just over 30,000 tickets so far.

Listening to the Lions podcast - much like their team, they are really putting value in their win against us at BC Place. Adorable

Nope. But when in doubt, the ones I started are the "correct" ones.....

The cfl media every single week.

Due to a failure in the pneumatics this morning, the retractable roof will remain open on Sunday.

https://3downnation.com/2022/11/10/former-receivers-coach-travis-moore-believes-riders-decision-not-to-re-sign-him-could-be-blessing-in-disguise/ “I’ll move forward on that and sometimes, it’s a blessing in disguise. I’ll just leave it at that.” 😂

This tweet alone can carry the media team to Grey Cup week- but then they have to work.

I hear you can sell thousands of tickets by placing tiny classified ads in newspapers.

Have any of those people looked at the average temperature in Athens, Ohio in November> Its between +7 and +2.

I'll be drunk.

Farhan also thinks BC will only will be affected by the weather if they let it. Well, being from here - today was cold, being here for 2 days mostly inside is not enough to get ready. You will find out. “Nathan Rourke played in Ohio” Yeah…ok

CBC did a better job with presentation- and Saturday afternoon games were great.

Sorrells also posted and later deleted the following tweets. https://www.riderfans.com/forum/filedata/fetch?id=919241&d=1667749972 https://www.riderfans.com/forum/filedata/fetch?id=919242&d=1667749995

This is where Eilte head coaches and their supporting casts are in high demand. Knowing x's and o's inside out is no where near enough to create healthy working environments where everyone is focused on achieving the same thing. Some just really underestimate the importance of this and ultimately pay the consequences for this underestimation. As I believe Kotter and others have said, Culture eats Strategy for breakfast every day of the week.

Yet another example of no consequences for bad behaviour. Tell them at the ballot box is laughable for them. This is the world we live in, consistently spew lies and half truths virtually and in-person, contradict yourself over and over again, demonstrate blatant hypocrisy wherever you go while successfully accruing capital, status and influence.

The recent weather will probably be good for the team on the field but maybe not so good for driving last minute ticket sales.

Amazing. Can't think of a single reason not to do this.

Last city in the west to get snow and here comes the Winterpeg throw outs on Twitter.

More snowwwww... Helps our D! I'll walk to the game if I have to.

Yup…it’s a mini blizzard right now

Cons love to make messes, blame others and leave when it's time to clean up. It's their motto.

Yet another example of choosing power over principle.

They named it the Hoover Dam but the name really sucks.

As did Stefanson in Manitoba. The same pattern for all of them - demand action privately, criticize publicly to win political points. Morons accept their narrative without question then mindlessly repeat F Trudeau... - Manitoba premier trying 'to have it both ways' in messaging on border protests: political observers | CBC News In a Feb. 11 letter, Heather Stefanson urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to take "immediate and effective action" to deal with a border blockade that began at the Emerson, Man., crossing a day earlier. Stefanson's letter to Trudeau warned of "dangers" and "hardships" the Emerson blockade would impose on Manitobans, and said the situation would "require the reasoned and balanced national leadership that only you and the federal government can provide." Days later, she publicly opposed his invocation of emergency legislation giving the federal government greater power to intervene against such protests.

The same scenario in AB., Kenney begged the Feds. to send in the military to tow away vehicles blocking the border crossing at Coutts, that way he could point his finger at Trudeau and say it wasn't him who stepped in and ruined the party. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/emergenies-act-degrand-alberta-1.6644282

Many Cons think that irony is the opposite of wrinkly.

the rallying cry of all Cons....... "WE HATE YOU JUSTIN TRUDEAU!!" and also "pssst.... help us Mr Trudeau, you're our only hope...."

Talking about no pressure in any game especially a play off division final is a sign of Not being prepared. This team preps for every game like it’s the post season. Bc seems to prep like they always have another week. I expect Sheed to make it idk about kola. Other wise I think the questionables will all play.

Who cares? Ar Bee Dar.

"Seeking loud obnoxious male, must be able to drink beer and heckle relentlessly. Rider fans need not apply"

Yeah, hopefully it's an exciting game.

I would help the Arblows don’t lay a giant crap with those fans in the stands.

Fritzie Hansen...my dad used to call him....Quick as a rabbit and if you missed a tackle on him....say goodbye.... he was in the endzone....He's a Bomber legend and rightfully so...

https://archive.macleans.ca/index.php/article/1980/11/24/grey-cup-hangovers-and-a-man-called-twinkletoes Didn't know where to post this and found it on the Riders forum. An old article from 1980 about how the Grey Cup got it’s festive nature with the Winnipeg connection. So well written thought it might have some relevance.

Wife and I will try to be doubly loud for ya!

enjoy the game Noeller, wish I could have gone this year again.

How quaint. That illusion went out the door ages ago.

Yeah, a lot of the post-game clips they put together were absolute dimes...

Oh yeah, for sure.... I only post it to give Matty something else to be angry about this afternoon.......

We are just lucky to be here for the Rourke show…

It frightens me that Nye picked us......

I guess not? Is it the one from last week? I don’t get why there wouldn’t be. My buddy who is not a football fan told our group chat he got spam robo-called asking if he got his tickets yet. People love that approach…

CBC did a good job with games

Did not know Toby Enstrom branded sticks existed 😂
