I hope it's nice. I'm getting a nice treat that game. Was nominated for coach of the week. My club (Rods) get $500 donation and I'm getting a $100 GC to the Bomber store and get to go on the field for pregame with my boy.

Wolitarsky signing a one-day contract to retire as a Bomber. Winnipeg Blue BombersDrew Wolitarsky Retires as a Blue Bomber - Winnipeg Blue...The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the signing of Drew Wolitarsky to a one-day contract so he can officially retire as a member of the football club. Wolitarsky, 30, spent seven of his eight Can.

Kayaking on Lake Flathead in Montana today and what do I find? A roughriders flag on a private pier: So I grabbed some pebbles and left them a message:

"Cam Lawson at DT with Thomas & Schmekel sitting out.

One day contract so Biggie can retire as a Bomber.

Osh ain't taking Thomas off the roster unless he was dead and even then it's 50/50

He sucks

some thoughts, with the usual caveats about limited reps, one day, etc Penner from the Rifles fits in during skelly, rec drills, etc. the problem today was they did a tonne of sts blocking drills and he’s younger and smaller than everybody else and got bullied. He had one rep against Banks that was hard to watch. Speaking of Banks, he looked great blocking but just ok as a receiver. Both American rbs looked good. Both had some nice runs, and Arnold took a swing pass for 30ish yards in full scrimmage. Payton Thorne looked really bad. Held onto the ball for a long time and threw a few picks in skelly. Perkins turned the wrong way for a handoff twice on three plays. I can’t say for sure it was his fault, but the coach spoke to him after each one and the following play he’d turn the other way. I wasn’t very impressed by him either. Poncius and especially Elsbury looked really good on the ol. Elsbury won every rep I saw. Only time I saw Poncius get beat was when he picked up the wrong guy in 2 v2s. On the dl I didn’t see Dixon win a single rep. I thought KMB looked great. He’s small, but always gave the ol trouble. Saw two Dante Daniels reps blocking. He got run over by KMB on one, then buried Aaron Smith on the next one. No 1v1s today for recs, so that sucked. Singer ran a nice corner/post route in skelly, but the qb (Thorne iirc) threw it late and it got knocked out of his hands. Otherwise didn’t really notice any recs standout.

Honestly the main selling point of the CFL are the timing rules of the final 3 minutes. And arguably the most boring part of any NFL game when a team with a one score lead can just bleed the clock under 2 mins with 3-4 plays.

I met the soon to be mother of my child at the Bomber game against B.C. our first date was August 3rd 2023 We beat the Lions 50-14, I had my last ever first date, Less then 2 years later, we have season tickets together, we bought a home, and we’re expecting our first kid together. A lot do amazing memories In a short amount of time, especially against the B.C. Lions! Go Bombers!

Went to practice this morning. Nothing ground breaking to report. Thought the running back 36, smaller American guy looked solid. Really effective blocker in the one on ones. Imo play of the day was made by Corcorcan(can't remember how to spell his name, but the wr they drafted this year). He is slow...there's no doubt about it. But he went up and made a great play on an under thrown ball that should have been intercepted. Schoen looked like himself out there. No brace on. No lack of speed etc. Routes were as sharp as ever. Talked to him after the practice and he said he was feeling great and anxious to get back out there. He was great with my son too. Talked to him a bit and gave an autograph. Sergio is the man...he came right up to my boy (who was wearing his schoen jersey) and talked a bit, then said he'd introduce him to Schoen after practice. Which he did. Needless to say, we had a great morning!

Broxton, Moxey and Nield sign with the Bombers, we’re not messing around Broxton becomes the highest paid American OL in the league

Moving on from Kola is another good move by Walters.

Good, but we better see some dead weight on the roster jettisoned.

I start the Game Day thread and the team wins 40-3. Dang, I'm the secret weapon.

So it's inspired by Booch?

Shove this win up your ass, Jamie Nye

Practice notes from DT via Twitter. Vanterpool at LG Kramdi is practicing Jarious Jackson has arrived.

Tait says Schoen a full participant today for the first time. Huzzah.

I've upgraded the board to the next major version. This is a significant upgrade from Version 4 to Version 5. I've been putting this off for almost a year as I didn't want to do it mid-season. Now with activities for next season starting, I wanted to get the upgrade in before next season activities start so any bugs can get worked out. Why the upgrade.... This gets us on the most current version, which is important for security updates and new functionality. They have been doing security patches for the old version, but that won't last forever, and this also lets me upgrade some of the software that the board runs on to a current version. Like everything else, the people who make the board software are really trying to push everyone to their cloud, as that gives them higher recurring revenue. But their hosting costs do not make sense for the size of the forum (it would 2x to 4x the cost I pay now depending on what plan we went to). Good news for now is they've committed to version 5 of the software to be self hosted. That should hopefully buy 5 - 10 years before they go to version 6. Please be patient There is going to be some tweaks and changes you'll notice over time, feel free to post in here anything that seems off or not right, there are still some tweaks that need to make to settings and the theme. Some changes you may notice They completely changed how tagging works. Now admins / mods can maintain a list of tags, members can't create new ones. This was done to better categorize and search content. All existing tags have been converted, but let me know if you want new tags created. Support for Web Apps on your phone Complete theme overhaul. A new theming system means I've had to rebuild the theme. It is close to what we used to have, but there will be some discrepancies. There are still some more tweaks and updates I want to make to it. There is a completely revamped post editor. It does seem to be easier to use and more powerful. A lot of other behind the scenes updates and changes to things we don't use that often.

Kolankowski released, Schmeckel re-signed

I would rather have dipped my balls in lava then see the Riders win a Grey Cup in our stadium. So gross.

Vaval has to be the leading candidate for ROTY right?

Only two Nat DT's. Has anyone checked to see if O'Shea is okay?

1 brady. ofc carried the team today. 25-210 yards 2 zach. protected the ball, got it out fast and made good decisions couple tough throws 3 cam allen. some good cover, couple great hits separated wrs from balls which changes how teams can attack you. hh sterns bone jarring catch over the middle block of the game to strevy as a wr lead blocking for brady had a good edge seal crappy honker to that stupid ass siren dunce caps to lawson jr, form tackling on d, hogan honorable mention to strevy for doing a lot in light of injuries, wallace, wilson in short yardage, jones, and wj Unsung hero award to Person. he didn’t record a stat, but he tipped holms pick and had atleast 5 key pressures plus a couple hits. bonus points to having lapo in the booth. he’s soo damn good and improves the quality of life watching games by a ton

Looks like Milt will be at the game on Friday.

Whenever I get asked about why Mitchell isn't playing I say it's because he's an X wide receiver. And to get him in would require he or Wheatfall changes position. Based on having Case in for Schoen on Sunday I have to believe the Bombers have reservations too. The first day of camp this year they had Mitchell at slot next to Wheatfall. The next day Mitchell was at X with the 2s. And since the end of camp that's where he's stayed. Mitchell has played some slot in his career but the Elks clearly felt he was a WR. For his career I've got him with 151 targets at WR and 55 in the slot--73% WR is pretty high. When they signed Geno Lewis in 2023 they tried Mitchell in the slot but eventually bumped him out to Z. Watching his '24 and '23 Sunday night Mitchell had some real struggles with the waggle...more hesitant than most guys. How much was him and how much was the bad QB situations in Edmonton...who knows.

Something no one has mentioned so far was I thought Hogan called a hell of a game. We’re going to score a lot of points this season whether it’s number 17 or number 8, I really enjoyed some of the X’s and O’s He drew up. I think you’re going to see an opportunity for good receivers to make plays often in this offense.

I really don’t get any of the Myron Mitchell hype. I would be incredibly unaffected if he were to be cut tomorrow.

First practice of the regular season is today. Out with the old and in with the new. Time to get it started.

Its a beautiful day for football. Let's go Bombers!

Remember, the key is to keep it below 10 completions. The record speaks for itself.

Say all you want about the deteriorating talent on the team but Hogan is completely in over his head as an offensive coordinator.

They could put Whitney Houston in for Dexter Lawson and it would be an improvement.

Even though we are a salty bunch as of late, we *do* appreciate you taking the time to share with us DT - thank you!

This site is getting dangerously close to unreadable on a daily basis. We've been losing regular contributors because of it, which is a shame... Feels like the Jim Daley/Tim Burke/Lapo era of darkness based on some of the posts, and not an unmatched generational winning streak on and off the field...

You win that challenge you take 3 points off the board and have the ball. That’s the worst pi I’ve seen in ages.

Collaros is literally Uncle Rico way past his physical prime but all he wants to do is throw the ball over them mountains

1 strevy almost 250 3 tds, did every thing he needed to for us to win 2 Peterson stepped in for Brady, over 130 yards on 23 carries. didn’t miss a beat 3 wheatfall 5 127 and 1td with 69 yac hh the first td pass to Demski really set a high tone for the offence and game crunch of the game mci with the pop forcing a fumble and turn over on kick cover block of the game big Stan way down field blocking for the screen pass to wheatfall awe that’s dirty. Strevs throw away in the 4th he was hit late and hit in the head and with no call while bc chirped him. honorable mentions Demski jones bonds adams Lawson wj schoen vaval

Vanterpool in for Dobson is a major upgrade up front too. Vanterpool would be my player of the game. Here's a stat for you: Peterson averaged 130 yards per game in his last 2 years of U Sports. 130 yards rushing in his first CFL game. Took a few more carries to get there than it did in U Sports...but still.

Give some love to wheatfall too who looked like a legit threat out there.

Maybe it’s because we’ve seen the same stubborn loyalty to veterans for a few seasons and some people would like to see the team adopt a slight shift in philosophy so that it could potentially lead to winning the Grey Cup, not just being in it.

Well the 2019 team was 3-5 with Streveler starting and 4-0 with Collaros starting. So he had some impact. D wasn't getting it done by themselves, they got smacked around pretty bad in majority of games after Nichols went down. Probably don't get to any of the post-19 Grey Cups if you don't host the West Final. Matt Nichols never hosted a West Final. Buck Pierce, Kevin Glenn and Khari Jones hosted 1 East Final each. Collaros has hosted 4. Good to have some perspective. The only comparison that will matter in the end is Dru Brown from 2024 on vs Collaros from 2024 on.
