The Classic

I don't care if the mods delete this post or change it. But the day is coming for those pompous a s s h o l e  fans. And when it comes I'll be the first one cheering & setting off fireworks. Karma's a *****. 

I have a bit of a unique perspective because my tickets are actually in Section 140 even though I am older than the average demographic of Section S I enjoy the atmosphere. I also bring my 10 year old to most games and he really hasn't seen or heard anything he doesn't hear while watching the away games at home. He is learning Blue language the same way I did and my father before me. By watching the Bombers with Dad.
Having said that I am more at the top of the section where it is less rowdy and the seats around me were mostly empty for the majority of last year. So I will take a year and see if that changes. Because there is a limit to the rowdiness I am willing to endure and I don't want to have to get up 60 times a game to let some cheese **** 19 year old make his 400 runs to the Rum Hut and the bathroom. I only make 100 such runs personally.
What I like is the continuing of Wade's venture to make the stadium a fun place to be. Rather than relying on draconian security practices he is trying to accommodate all different types of customers and not just the people who phone Gordon Sinclair the first time someone swears in front of them.
I also like that my tickets are going down $50 per seat next year. We'll see how it turns out.

Congrats on Denmarks first plus Kilometer receiving season.

I'm just in awe with IGF Stadium. Fantastic facility. Last week was talking to some Stamp fans, that came in for the stamp/flame extravaganza last weekend. They told me they had just visited Levi Stadium for a Niners game. They were more than Imprssed with IGF and favourably compared it with the NFL local franchise. It was clear that comparing a 1.3 billion dollar facilty to a much smaller 300 million dollar facility is very tough. Their comments were so very kind though that in mentioning the comparison they were just as happy with IGF as Levi, AND IGF was greater value for the construction buck.

Can we keep links to the "other" to less than minimum?

If the Bombers are going to continue to tank this season, the Riders being thoroughly embarrassed in every way eases my pain...

So many reasons to dislike Hank as a QB (especially in cold weather/clutch time) but going to CAL is not one of them. 
 
Idiots gonna idiot. 

Incompetence, laziness, bias, all 3?  Take your pick.
 
Bottom line, lazy officiating is getting tolerated in this league and robbing fans of money.
 
Fire Glen Johnson!!!!! He is an overpaid bum who is doing nothing to fix this.

I never, ever thought I'd say this... but the reffing in the CFL is actually driving me more and more away from my beloved league and closer and closer to being more of an NFL fan

Surely they would stop play or do something to get a video replay system or communication system issue fixed.
 
That is just a crapload of ****.
 
No excuse for the league to put up with these zebras ******* up its games.
 
Inexcusable for them not to do something about this.

Honestly, the biggest WTF this game was "we can't review due to technical difficulties with the command centre". WTF was that about. THAT IS BUSH LEAGUE STUFF.

Need I say more than this fail game run by those greedy *** zebras out there who are hell bent on destroying our team.
 
CFL needs to do something about these clowns and reign them in immediately, start taking $ out of their paychecks if this keeps up.  These guys are gestapos.

The only must win game is one that puts you out of playoff contention.
 
I hate when people over use must win. It's the same people that don't know how percentages work. No one is giving 200% effort.

So if he goes ahead and says what you want ... "This next game is critical and not just another game" ... and then he loses, then what do you want him to say?  He won't paint himself into a corner like that.
 
I want my coaches to be in the business of winning football games not entertainment and not pandering to the media.
 
It doesn't really matter what he says or does, the media here have proven they will fill their columns with drivel either way.

Hello all, I've followed this group since Blink made that final post on the old site, migrated over here and have been lurking ever since. Quality forum over here with solid info, and I look forward to the continued success for you gentlemen running the place. Oh, I live in saskatchewan (sadly) but I always will bleed blue and gold. Cheers friends

This is a transcript of an actual Edmonton Eskimos radio ad:
Transcription: "You know that guy, the irritating Saskatchewan Roughriders fan. Sorry, that's redundant: the Saskatchewan Roughriders fan. He's loud, obnoxious, and somehow manages to brag about his team winning a dominant four championships in just over a century. That guy. Well, he's going to the Eskimo game this Friday, and you should go too and watch his entire world crumble around him! Support your Eskimos! Tickets to the game are at Ticketmaster, starting at $32.50."
 
I liked this ad.

I hate it when the McGavins and the Dempsters troll this site....just want to turn them into toast...

As bad as the Bombers are gonna be for awhile, this game fills my heart with joy.

What a shock. Exactly what I said was gonna happen is happening with Tino.

Offensive  nicknames removed.

yeah, you're right. I mean like one pass.
 
If you're going to go into defensive mode and try to spin everything, don't waste your time. We don't drink the Rider kool aid here and whether you want to acknowledge it or not, Sunseri and his handful of pro snaps are a major downgrade from Durant and when defenses are already keying in on your run game because it's your primary source of offense, it's certainly not going to help when the only true decoy you have to that goes down to an injury.

As far as CFL officiating, over the years, some people are always confusing "incompetence"....... with "agenda"

Obviously barbies aren't doing a good enough job of ruining girls self esteem if a girl that fat is willing to wear a watermelon bra.

Egomaniac officiating where the reffing determines the outcome of a game on a very marginal call: about that we can in all practicality do absolutely nothing...
 
what has me on edge is if CFL  headquarters gives an officiating crew a wink and a nudge about who it would be better for if one team were to win over another ,.... I don't think it could be true but some games I absolutely wonder .... something about who signs the pay check .... I see corruption elsewhere all too often; I just can't believe it could happen in our League even if its an old boys club in part

You'd be better off taking cards so you could at least play with yourself.
