Wanna-B-Fanboy

Watched 1990 yesterday and I saw similarities.  The Bomber offense was not supposed to compete with the vaunted Esks, but turnovers and a new quarterback drove the ass-kicking.  I've gone from 20% confident on Monday to 60% today.  Recording the game because nervous-drinking is going to make it a blur.

Damn....
 
Today is the day. 
 
GO BOMBERS!!!!!

It's game day! 

Grey Cup - 5pm Central - McMahon Stadium - Calgary, AB. 
Weather: At kickoff 1 (feels like -5). When they award the Grey Cup -1 (feels like -6). 
Wind 26km/h  (16 miles/hour) from the west, gusting to 39 (24). 
 
 
 
 
That videos gives me chills.

Just win, baby. 

good to hear she is doing better. 
 
You just know that there are vultures wearing the GOP banner watching her health with ill intent. **** them.

If you into a barber shop that has two barbers, you always choose the one with the worst haircut.

By GOP precedent trump won’t get a pick in the year of an election.  They wouldn’t break their own precedent would they?  
 
You’d think she’d consider retiring.  The fact she isn’t speaks volumes about her character and commitment.   Get well soon!

Was just out and about in the hood..was amazed and proud to see all the people in bomber gear..talikong about the game. at st v mall and seen many a grey cup sign from bomber store go out the door..the city is pumped for sure...and if we win its going to go off! Will be unreal for sure.
I'm not originally from here..was fortunate enough to be here in early 90's and returned in  2003 for job opportunity in real world but can say I am a proud Winnipeger thru and thru..let's go get this mother effer!

Eat these nuts raw

In all sincerity, I did like the gif above. Made me smile. K' now for the essay...
Firstly, I am thrilled that we are in the Grey Cup. Been 8 long years. I've cheered the Bombers faithfully since age 8 in '77. Since then we've won it all 3 times. Each time was positively beautiful. I've also suffered faithfully through the recent 0-5 Cup run. Been hard to be so close that many times and not close the deal.
So, let me say again, I am elated that we're going to the Big Dance for another shot and although some will put me in a "Osh haters" box because I advocate for examining his track record - I'm actually extremely happy for him and his post-season success this year. But...not because I am an "Osh lover" (I guess that's the opposite of a "hater"?) but because I am a hard core Blue Bomber fan and he is our coach and I want them to win, above all else.
That all said, here's why I "care" (JCon) and don't think it is a "dumb question" (MC) to wonder aloud about whether Collaros sees the field if Streveler doesn't get hurt:
Our coach has shown a debilitating and consistent tendency to stick with his starter even when it is painfully obvious that it doesn't make sense to do so. He did it in '15 with Willy, he did it in last year's Western final with Nichols, and he did it with Streveler in the second last game in Calgary this year, where our starter was both ineffective and injured. He even set up Nichols (and the ensuing controversy with fans/media) when he re-inserted the struggling pivot into a game in '18 on a day when the starter clearly didn't have it and Streveler had given fans hope coming off the bench. 
So, while I want to believe that the coach was planning to let Collaros start because it was painfully obvious that we weren't going to get it done with Streveler (and getting it done is, after all, the point), I don't think that that can reasonably be considered a foregone conclusion. And the reason that that matters is if he wasn't going to try out Collaros, then unfortunately the outstanding events of the last 3 weeks would have more to do with good fortune (i.e. that Strev was hurt enough to sit out a game but not so hurt as to be lost for the season) than growth in our head coach's decision-making ability in this critical area.
In summary, it matters because it would bode very well for MOS' head coaching future if he was planning to start Collaros in the final reg season game regardless of Streveler's health. If, on the other hand, he only started him because he had no choice, that bodes less well. 
And for those of you who will now crucify me for being a "downer" on the eve of the big party for even entertaining this discussion, well...I think we're probably just pretty different people. For me, part of the fun of being a fan and a forum member is discussing such questions. If that's not your thing, well, then maybe you really oughten to have read all this far, eh?
But if you did read this far, maybe it's because you were actually somewhat interested, engaged, provoked etc...and isn't that the point?  
Go Bombers!

This thread needs more levity- this is a GREAT twitter feed to follow:
 
 
it is disturbing how seamless his tweets can be used as Super Villain dialogue. 

I listened to the segment, and I think hes making a mountain out of a moll hill. I'm guessing this is Miller being Miller. Hes known as a jackass for a reason. Is any of this a big deal? No...is it worth a shot to try and get it changed? Yes! Which bomber fan doeant want Irving doing the PBP?
The guy doing the segment made it seem like all the players/coaches/management are making a big deal out of this, when in all likely hood its miller trying to get his way.

I truly hope the Bombers send the annoying OskeeWeeWees  all the way home...

Game changer? 
 

Good grief... 31 hours left to go. 
 
I am so excited- it's been 8 years since we last played in this game... and 29 years since we've won it. 
 
Let's go BLUE!

This American Oversight group has 12 more Freedom of Information Act requests, betcha the Dictator and his idiots didn't see that coming.

I'll say this.  At the end of the season before the Collaros trade we basically limped into the playoffs. I expected us to be one & done. I had said that it would be a hard sell to Winnipeg fans to bring O'Shea back as he had only won a single playoff game. That was then & this is now. Two big wins on the road in places that aren't easy to play in. Two victories & hoping for a third to end our nightmarish drought.  So, I say Mike deserves to be brought back & given a new contract. He changed my mind. I always said that he has to win to get a new deal  & so far he has.  I won't change my mind if we lose Sunday. The guy has done a helluva job this season.
