The Classic

I was ignoring this thread because I thought it was unnecessarily crude and childish. I thought we could take the high road.
Just lurked for 3 mins on riderfans and saw what they were talking about.
Carry on, my friends. The Rider fans proving time and time again that they are complete classless trash.
EDIT: They post a ton of memes making fun of Winnipeg for being cold? lol wtf, it's the same climate you idiots.

When it comes to supporting this football team......no such thing as interlopers, period.

Great thread - I am appreciative as well as I had no idea what happened to the other one where I've been for years.  And who knows if it's coming back.
It is awesome to find another forum for our beloved Blue.  So far this has been really cool to read, I only discovered it yesterday and have a day job so forgive me if I'm not fully up to speed but loving it here so far.
also cool to see some old familiar names here.  
Again, thank you for the warm acceptance of all us folks that have been left homeless for the last while.

It's really nice to see all the new/old faces on this board- I've been really happy to read everyone's posts and contributions.

I just wanted to take a moment to say 'thank you' to Rich and all of the members of MBB for allowing us interlopers a place to come and talk about our Bombers since TEP being down.  For us avid Bomber fans, the TEP couldn't have went down at a worse time, during playoffs...  it was/is nice to have a place to come to and share our thoughts and participate in the conversation without being made to feel un-welcomed or reminded that we are merely quests at someone else's house..
Hopefully we've reciprocated the hospitality by adding to the conversation and  provided additional insight to the going on's within the game and the Bombers in general... hopefully we will continue to do so once the TEP is back up, if it's back up...
So again, thanks you to MBB, Rich, and the MBB members for accepting us and allowing us to continue to be part of the conversation, much appreciated!

So here's the plan you want: 
-From airport, Uber to Calgary Zoo. 
-Hop on the Ctrain at the Zoo (approx $4 per person) 
-At the downtown station, you'll switch trains to the Stadium train
-Stadium train takes you right up there. 
There will be a ton of football fans (my crew likely among them) doing exactly this so you'll be able to follow the crowd when switching trains. 
Really simple way to get to and from... Enjoy!! 

C Train goes right by the stadium. Best way in and out if you ask me. See if you can get a cheaper hotel near a C train station.

On the coaches show tonight, both MOS and Bob commented on the play and kudos were given. MOS said it was the fastest he had seen him run before. 

So then Zach's entire season up until he started in Week 20 was #loadmanagement
I'm good with that if the result is the same!

Ticats looked pretty sharp against Eskies.  Hopefully , we get our running game rolling again.  I was surprised how well Riders shut Streveler down and Harris as well. Harris did pound through the odd time for a few yards but we need to be better against ticats. Riders did a great job shutting down our return game so would like to see  that a little more creative on Sunday as well.  Our deep ball seemed to be our saviour which is kind of crazy the way the year panned out but gives Hamilton a little more to think about this week. Some pretty crazy moments in Regina but that punt we made  where it seemed most of our coverage went to the left side of the field and the punt to the right side of the field I couldn't figure out.. and thankful  the return didn't go all the way for a touchdown. Being the underdog, I like our chances, honestly be more worried  if we were the favourite. This way , we know we have to work harder to win.  Go Blue

Well, how would you know what class is if you had never seen it before in your own team? You'd think it was the same classless **** your own team does.

Darren Cameron said that it is Jeffcoat. What a class act!

Was Jeffcoat...100 percent certain..if wasnt him was Maston

Did anyone else notice the Bomber defender go check on Fajardo while he was laying facedown on the ground after the goal post pass?
Was is Rose?  Who ever it was,  very classy act by a professional and one of our boys.
After watching the last pass a few times, I am thinking the Bomber player was Jeffcoat.   Nice job.

yeah I thought he played for the Bombers.

Not superstitious, but a little stitious.....

Hate to be negative, but shoulders never heal fully after a surgery. They patch your shoulder up so it doesn't affect your daily life, but throwing day in and day out through a full season isn't gonna happen. Range of motion shortens and chance of re-injury is significant.
If this were Rookie of the Year, I'd say we sign Nichols and snap the tendons of the rest of our rostered QB's, but sadly, this injury is like me messing around with fireworks and messing up my best typing finger, my job is gonna suffer. ( I got pretty liberal with the analogy, but hey, internet stuff is fun)

I’ll join the I was wrong about Collaros club... he’s busting his ass and looks like the QB we all wanted Nichols to be

I'm also not sold on Nicholls long term health after his shoulder surgery......Nicholls also has a history of severe injuries but imho Zach is a better QB all around.,,,,and smart!

Legitimate question. But, I don't think any starters lasted 18 games this season. You definitely need a capable back up QB whoever you sign as a starter. And if we're strictly comparing Collaros to Nichols in a bubble, I'd have as many concerns health wise for Nichols. Maybe more - throwing shoulder surgery - yikes. And Nichols going down has proven pretty clearly that Streveler is not ready to be an average to above average starting QB in the CFL. Heart bigger than the Grinch's when it grew, helluva football player, but not a top tier starting QB.

Zach is giving it a 110 percent..I can't get over the fact about how the team has accepted him right off the bat...I think usually most teams would have a little trouble with a player coming in that late in the season not to mention him being unfamiliar with the way we do things...He fits right in like he's been playing here since day 1....Going to be a tough call about keeping him around....especially if we win the Cup

When I first heard that we had signed Collaros I thought it was a big mistake. I couldn't have been more wrong.

I'm sure glad the other forum is down so there's no proof I trashed him when we signed him. 😉😄
Did not think he still had this kind of play left in him. Couldn't be happier to have been wrong.
