  1. Thanks
    Albertabomberguy got a reaction from Wideleft in Tell me about your 2019 experience in Calgary   
    I went to the 2018 cup in Edmonton with 16 buddies from work and needless to say it was a mess.  When the bombers clinched a spot in the cup in 2019 I knew it would be special and I needed tickets.  My son was 8 at the time and I knew I needed to take him because he would watch the games with me but you could tell he was doing it just to make me happy.  My wife was very against this idea after hearing a few of the stories from the year before and was very clear i should go but that he wasn’t allowed to come. The next day she was at work and I said screw it and bought him and I tickets and planned my trip out and she was clearly not happy with me.
     My buddy(I watch every game with him) had bought a motor home a month before from a dealership in Calgary and was scheduled to fly in on the Friday to pick it up and then drive home.  He obviously wanted to change his plans and get tickets to spend the weekend and go to the game.  The problem was that his wife was over 9 months pregnant and he didn’t want to leave her at home 8 hours away in case she went into labour.  I offered to drive her to Calgary so he could be there potentially for his kids birth and catch the game too!
     
    We took part in all the festivities leading up to the cup and myself and my boy had a weekend I will never forget.  The day of the cup was incredibly nerve racking and I fought back emotions all day.  We went super early to McMahon and soaked in every minute we could.  I honestly can’t describe how special it was to be there with my son and when the bombers rushed the field to celebrate I looked over at my son and he was absolutely bawling.  I lost control of myself and we were screaming and crying with all the other fans.  Since that day, he has been a passionate and loyal fan.
    (my wife later told me that she was so glad I didn’t listen to her and took him)

    Hot take: That was a bigger play than the game winning FG. Not underrated at all.

    I hate this team. What a clown Marino is.

    You’d be amazed how many old school baseball fans pitch track and score keep every game for their team just for fun.

    This game always scares me. There were too many years where we were significantly better than the Riders but still somehow lost (Rocky Butler and Michael Bishop games come to mind) and I'm still suffering PTSD. That said, we seem to have flipped the script in their new toilet bowl stadium and we definitely are a much better team, so I remain cautiously optimistic.

    This has been discussed before... but that play Gauthier made to foil the Sask fake kick return in the 2019 WCF... was a huge catalyst to the Bombers winning the cup that year... the winds were changing in that game and if Gauthier doesn't make that stop... the Bomber might not win that game

    Albertabomberguy reacted to Noeller in Back 2 Back CHAMPS vs Stamps early chat   
    Don't buy into that mentality that the Stamps handed us the game. Our DB's dropped as many balls as their receivers. Stamps were lucky to be in that game last time. 
  14. Agree
    Albertabomberguy reacted to Goalie in Week Six: Non Champ Games   
    So the last 2 weeks nobody has talked about the rider game but the incidents that occur b4 during and after the game. Not a good luck for the CFL right now... get 10k out in Nova Scotia in a place with a 5400 population and ppl talking about helmet throwing and spitting incidents.

    Are you talking about the Thomas penalty?  Not sure what else he could have done there.  That was a soft call 
  18. Agree
    Albertabomberguy reacted to BaconNBigBlue in Back 2 Back Losers at BACK 2 BACK CHAMPS GDT   
    Poor choice of words.  How that could be a penalty when you're thrown into the QB is anyone's guess.

    Riley Marra is a genius with his videos and social media work.  That was my son crying in the video from the 2019 cup.  Still goes down as the greatest day of my life to have been there live with my boy.
