  1. I am thinking a Win by A Single Point will work for me. This roster that was published does scare me and Edmonton will win a game somewhere sometime sooner or later!
  2. I am thinking this will probably be closer than most folks would like however we should win this one. If we manage to screw this one up then yeah time for some changes.
  3. Hopefully that number of times is one! And we have fulfilled our commitment!😄
  4. just saw that - Congratulations to both Mom and Dad - now the fun really starts!
  5. I agree - I think this game will be close. Calgary is getting some of their folks back and I am still not sure what our line up will look like. I think we will or should win however it will be a very close game IMHO.
  6. Wow! Any game that would make "Baby Jesus Cry" has to be a really really bad game!😄
  7. Kool Did not know that - I am the opposite - US born - went to SMU and played there (not all that good but did get some games in) - Went into the Army in the late 60's did my thing in Nam and after being mustered out came to Winnipeg thinking I could play for the Bombers (a few of my SMU team members had tried out up here) - Made it through 2 days of rookie camp and gave up the ghost (I was in great shape just not fast enough). However everything has a silver lining - I met my wife (51 years and counting) - got my MBA - Moved back to Dallas and then back to Winnipeg in 1981 (and have been a season ticket holder and Bomber fan ever since) - Note I now live in Calgary (took my business there about 15 years ago) - heck I even was one of the orginal members of TotalCFL (wonder if anyone remembers that site) and of course Colin Unger's (OurBombers) site. I still have (see photo) my signed Dieter Brock Jersey!!
  8. I would go heavy on the DT side if at all possible. The Montrael run game scares me more than their passing game. I also think the extra O-lineman is in for more run blocking on our side. I almost get the feeling this game will be decided by who can run the ball the best.
  9. I am more worried about Montreal's run game. - Stanback is a load at over 230Lbs and from what I hear has improved his speed etc. The bombers will need to somehow shut him down as much as possible. Our run defense has never really been that great at times.
  10. While my memory is not as good as it use to be - didn't Jones do the same thing last year as well? I seem to remember him making multiple roster changes for just about every game last year also. What a sad commentary on the franchaise in Edmonton - once a proud franchaise and the hated empire throughout the league to bottom feeder status.
  11. Wow! Agree this one might be a little tough to watch - however will be interesting to see which team finally gets a win!
  12. I agree - let's give the kid some time to develop. Way too early to give up on him. However with Lawler back he probably will only get some spot playing time. The question is - When is Lawler back?
  13. Me too - Been on both forums for what seems forever but the other forum seems to be broken and not sure if it will be fixed. I am not gettng much info out of the organization regarding the issue and resolution so will turn my attention over to this forum. I have been a member since it was formed but spent more time over on the other site which I will rectify ASAP!
  14. The site is down - below is what their office told me " I have not had a timeframe yet .. Carol Carol Barrott Manager, Fan Services & Ticketing | Winnipeg Blue Bombers Call or Text: 204-784-7420 cbarrott@bluebombers.com | www.bluebombers.com 315 Chancellor Matheson Road, Winnipeg, MB R3T 1Z2
  15. Sure!!! And I use to date Joey Heatherton too (and I bet we are probably the few who know who Jill St. John and Joey Heatherton are!
  16. Have to agree with that comment - the "D" won it for us IMHO. However the offense did what it had to do to keep drives going etc. Total Team Effort IMHO. As for next year's starting QB - really hard to say however I would think MN would be considered the front runner going into training camp.
  17. Can not help but agree! Really is upsetting me that I have to fly out to the "Excited States" tomorrow around noon time here in Calgary. Our company has 4 tickets and I would have gotten 2 of them but had to give them up! I will be in Denver prior to the game starting but doubt I will be able to pick it up on any of the channels in the Hotel (Marriott has poor selection of channels if memory serves me correctly). And it Sunday so every channel will have NFL on I would think. In any event taping the game and will watch just as soon as I can get back home. Best of luck to the Bombers - Hope they pull this one out for all the long time fans in the Peg!
  18. Oh Snap! come on if you do not play well with others I will talk Nasty Nate into coming back!
  19. Goldie first of all it BBRT vs. BBRRT! You must have been shaking while typing this. I do live in Calgary but not a Stamps fan and of course can not afford Flames Tickets! My confidence in the team is built around the fact that I do not believe Richie Hall is the answer as the DC for the team. I do have limited confidence in the team simply because they have not accomplished all that much over the past number of years. I try to be realistic in my opinions (and remember they are just opinions - same as yours). I do believe that the game tomorrow is a toss up. Either team could pull out the win - it is just that close. For the record I do have season tickets to the Stamps but it is a business write-off and even at that could not justify season tickets to the Flames. Hopefully my confidence will be improved after Sunday but at the moment too close to call IMHO. And at the end of the day we can all agree to disagree - that is what I love about forums such as this.
  20. Hard to see Edmonton doing all that well in against that Tiger Cat Defense and conversely not sure that the Edmonton Defense will be able to shut down the weapons that the Tiger Cats have. Thinking it will not be all that close.
  21. It would be bad form if this were the case. Any one that has even a fundamental understanding of BTB or BTC and how a web presences plays an important role in generating interest etc. would understand that you never ever want to take you site down when maximum exposure is almost a guarantee (which as in the case of the playoff traffic) etc. But on the other hand maybe the Bomber organization is still back in the 1960's (Fax anyone?).
  22. I got the same type of email more or less - I translated my response to say that while they think the site is important - not really a priority at the moment.
  23. Many Thanks - I have now had my first cup and am back to semi human at the moment!
  24. Ok its Tues morning and I have not had my first coffee but what does "TEP" stand for? Maybe my brain has not woken up yet out here in Cal Town.
  25. Aards is here - to quote a line from Grease "The whole gang is back!" - now if only Nasty Nate was posting (note that was intended as a joke!)
