Lolololololololol................

I've got some time, so here's what we've talked about on the CJOB Sports Show (happy to answer any questions for the next little bit): WR has been consistenly Lawler-Schoen-Demski-Bailey-Wolitarsky. Bailey moving back to the slot after a year at WR. Line is Bryant-Gray-Kolankowski-Neufeld-Hardrick. I haven't seen any reps for anyone else with the first team. Dobson has been 6th OL. Eli at C with 2nd team. Brady practiced day 1, but not since then. Johnny took over, but missed a couple days. Appeared he was back in limited action today. They signed an American RB today...I'd guess it's because they had only two RBs able to work the last couple days (Salima ahead of Barnes). 2nd offense: Richmond-Dobson-Eli-Machino-various dudes at tackle. Harrison & Agudosi are slots with WR2. They switched Agudosi to the same SB position as Bailey--so there's potential competition for the starting spot. QBs appear to have become Zach, Brown, Pigrome, Jones Defence: Willie-Walker-Thomas-Jeffcoat are #1. Lawson in for Thomas for most of camp, Cooper for Jeffcoat (who's been out since Day 4). With American DTs coming in late we've seen a lot of Schmekel-Kornelson at DT. But I have to believe there'll be another American DT to back up Walker. DBs were Rose-Nichols-Alexander-Parker-Lawrence-Darby. Last few days Holm and Parker started splitting reps with 1st & 2nd team. Houston now in Rose's spot after Rose's injury. Houston was at HB with the 2s before that. Corner Matt Cole has a real good chance to make the team IMO. Fast, strong, a lot of return experience. LBs have been all over the place without Bighill & Wilson. Gauthier for Bighill generally. I've seen Gauthier-Clements, Gauthier-Wade, Gauthier-Dixon (who's been cut), Clements-Wade, Clements-Cole, Clements-Cadwallader, Maruo-Cole...apart from Gauthier it's tough to figure who else is LB2. Wade is explosive in short areas. I'd think he's the best non-starting American box linebacker, but not sure how he is on specials.

You may have noticed that the site has been somewhat slow today. Trying to diagnose what is causing it, but probably won't be able to dig in deeply until later today. May notice some intermittent up and down time while I try to figure out what is causing it

Whos got two thumbs and was randomly selected among the season ticket holder base to deliver the game ball on field at tonights game?? 👍👍 me.

While the FG% is the same, Sergio is making 88.4% of his converts and Legs is at 66.7%, an area where he has struggled before. Sergio has 7 attempts from 40 or beyond while Legs has 3. 6 out of 19 or nearly 33% of Legs kicks are from less than thirty yards while Sergio has only 3 from that distance. I wish Leigghio nothing but the best but I'd rather have Sergio.

Agudosi with a great catch deep for the td.. match up nightmare mare. Bailey catching everything in his direction. If it were my first time watching the Bombers I'd say he's their best player. Certainly is today Good connection from pigrome to agudosi . Pitch and catch. Going to be hard to imagine agudosi not seeing the field a lot if he can stay healthy. Not the best route runner but catches the ball well. And the size Gotta head off now. In a sentence, the Bombers look ****** good. Hard to single out any real poor play

First star to first half me for sticking with it. Second star to second half me for being able to look back and laugh at first half me. Third star to Oshea for trolling Booch and Mike by playing Jackson at literally every position. HH to Suitor for calling a 10 yard run in a 3 point game before half time a potential TSN turning point.

When you just mail-in your day job...

Gentleman: it's been a pleasure panicking with you this evening.

Poor Booch.

If he listened to us......MOS would have about 120...

Just got back from practice. Got there a little late, left a little early. Thought I'd write up some notes with the obvious disclaimer that I have no idea what I'm talking about. But people are hungry for Bomber stuff. So here goes. Evan Holm and Dalton Schoen are working their butts off out there. Nice to see. Holm both looks extremely athletic and technically sound. He made a play on the ball most times he lined up Brian Cole and DeJuan Cooper stand out as guys who have a physical presence but also move really well Brian Cole had an interception in skeleton Demski made Darby look like a pylon on one play in the one-on-ones Schoen works hard every play and catches the ball every play. Lawler makes things look easy. Early on it looked like Collaros was trying to work on his timing with Lawler. Nichols jumped a route and nearly picked off the pass but dropped it and I *think* Lawler ended up with it as he was lying on the ground Winston Rose matched up against Lawler a couple times. I think one time Lawler fell down and Rose got the pick. Another time Lawler backed Rose off about 10 yards and was wide open. One guy that really stands out because of his diminutive stature is #22 Dominick Fiscelli. Caught a bunch of balls in skelly in the middle of the field. 5'9" but is obviously pretty quick. Jake Kelly (canadian DB) ran pretty good with Schoen one time Kickers might have done something near the end of practice after we left...but up until that point they were just lounging around..or helping out with setting up drills for other positions. One thing I noted is that our veteran kickers are noticeably smaller than the new guys. I was hoping to get to see them in action

Tyrell Ford is now officially back on the Bombers' roster.

https://www.bluebombers.com/2024/01/20/winnipeg-blue-bombers-re-sign-receiver-drew-wolitarsky-to-two-year-deal/ Woli back!

When did everyone win THEIR Grey Cup this year: Week 3 - BC Lions win their Grey Cup defeating the mighty Bombers in Winnipeg. Pretty much when they peaked. Week 6 - Ottawa RedBlacks win their Grey Cup, defeating the mighty Bombers at home. Don't call it a Crum-back. Week 9 - Calgary Stampeders win their Grey Cup defeating the defending Grey Cup champions, Toronto Argonauts. Week 12 - Edmonton Elks win their Grey Cup defeating the Ottawa RedBlacks at home for their first home victory of the season and their first home game in 22 tries. Week 14 - Saskatchewan Roughriders win their Grey Cup defeating their arch-rivals, the mighty Blue Bombers at home in the Labour Day Classic. Week 15 - Toronto Argonauts win their Grey Cup defeating the Montreal Allouettes, thus securing the East Division. So many victory laps, but nothing else to show for it. Week 15 - Hamilton Ticats win their Grey Cup defeating the mighty Bombers in Hamilton. Not many top quality wins to choose from but this one they earned. East Final - Montreal Allouettes win their Grey Cup shocking the Toronto Argonauts on the road. An upset that no one is upset about. Grey Cup - Today... today is our Grey Cup.!The Winnipeg Blue Bombers attempt to win their Grey Cup, their 3rd in 4 years.

#ForTheW For Booch:

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.

I’m a little Kolo, short and stout. I’ve reached the ceiling, please take me out. When I get a one on one hear me shout. Tip me over, it’s two and out.

Ed Tait just posted that Kyle Walters has confirmed Tyrell Ford is back this year

let’s go back to arguing about Jake Thomas now

LOL that lasted long

Well, 2;45 am on Sunday & no one has started the Grey Cup Game Day Thread so it might as well be me. Let's Go Bombers. Lucky #13. Feeling a tad nervous about later today but I think we'll come through. I don't want to even make Cody Fajardo jokes as we all know this is a winner takes all one game championship so anything (good or bad) can happen. We all saw what happened last week & what occurred in 2001 so we'll have to play our best. If we play our game, we'll win. Not be overconfident or cocky. We're the better team so just take care of business & then we'll be Grey Cup champions.

2019 playoff run D was far superior to swaggerville.

Just letting everyone know I am alright.... Ha ha. At 22 down, I was cold and soaked from the rain, and was considering heading out and getting to my hotel an hour east of town. Coorsman talked me into staying and, in the end, I'm glad I did. To be able to see that Lawler catch in person is something special...

Frankie Williams had the most memorable highlight, just not the way he wishes. Never. Gets. Old.

Nichols showing up again with a nice tip on the ball to prevent shoen from bringing it in. Really good players make it obvious for fans like me. He's really good 79 Westfield burned his coverage on a perfectly thrown deep route.* I THINK* it was 15 josh Jones. Man was that a beautiful pass. The type of pass to make coaches notice Agudosi uses his frame to snag one in traffic. Accurate, yet fluttering pass Pigrome. RB Salima Jordan has some speed. Nice cuts and vision Pigrome under pressure and makes a bad decision to try and dump it off underneath. Wasn't picked but not a good choice. Comes back on 2nd and 10 with a deep out throw just out of reach of the receiver More to follow

We will always have his epic special teams tackle in the 2019 grey cup.

I chuckled.... #ConcussionProtocol

I don’t hate that at all. Yoshi gets his cash, Riders get a diminishing asset, Drew Richmond gets a chance to play.

Ok Charles Roberts

Lots of interesting stuff here: https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/10/31/statistical-year-in-review/ Big one that jumped out to me 100/955 Winnipeg was penalized 100 times in the regular season for 955 yards, fewest in the CFL. And here’s the number that just reinforces how disciplined this team is – over the last five seasons, 2017-23, the Blue Bombers have been the least penalized team in the league EVERY SINGLE SEASON.

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

I see Wilson and Parker are both dressed and practicing....Things slowly coming together on the defense now

The club has made the following transactions: Added to roster: 🇨🇦 Kerfalla Exume (DB) Added to practice roster: 🇨🇦 Jared Beeksma (LB) Released from practice roster: 🇨🇦 Jakub Szott (OL)

We made it boys and girls! Let's party! 🏈🍻🥳

I’m fully expecting a game like 2019 where you can tell after the first minute that there’s no way we are losing

I’m flying in from sunny Los Angeles to the frigid north tomorrow! It’ll be my first Bomber game live since the 2021 Grey Cup despite still having season tickets so I fully plan on losing my voice!

BC sucks!!!!

Yes, have arrived in Bali...having left Lombok (ok, part of Lombok) in a state of excitment...about our Blue Bombers Grey Cup drive, down the stretch..... In the spirit of international good will....a language exchange has been formed. This exchange enables me to add interesting new phrases to my knowledge of Bahasa Indonesian. In return, the local population has acquired a better knowledge of the CFL...as well as some useful phrases such as: "Fake Argos" "BC sucks" "Riders no good" "Bombers rule!" "Elks roadkill" I may be far away in body....but not in spirit. The Blue Bomber organization must realize that I am still watching..... Go Blue!!

hey guys - we got out of West Kelowna last night after spending the day packing up our vehicles with stuff and as of right now have no idea if our house is still standing. Meanwhile now half of Kelowna is also on fire. We were able to find a place to stay in Vernon but if the fires get this far north our next stop in Calgary. Right now I feel like I am in the movie Twister or something. Anyway, good to have a Bomber game to distract me, as there literally is nothing we can do but wait this out and see what happens.

We're playing the Elks folks. Expectation should be a big win. I don't like our front 7, but I expect a big win. I think we should change out either Grey or Neuf, but I expect a big win. I don't like our roster management, but I expect a big win. Elks haven't won this year, so I expect a big win. We're playing the freakin Elks, so I expect a big win.

Quoting this just to share it again. It can't be said enough.
