BBRT

never thought of that! Thought all organizations had a web team. Ours is small - 3 folks but they do a great job! We do outsource content to a professional writer but everything else is inhouse. - Even today a stat holiday here in Alberta one of them is working on bug fixes to 1 of our sites. Hope the Bomber site comes up soon as I know lots of folks post there and here both. Heck Mookie (Colin Unger) was a one man shop and his site was very seldom down when he had OurBombers going.

Folks I did get an email from someone in the Bomber organization yesterday (prior to game time) that they were working on the issue. I had asked for a contact person to chat with and of course that was not provided. I have been a long time poster here and over there and even back in the days of Colin's site and prior to that the original TotalCFL site when it first started. I am somewhat pissed at the Bomber organization for not providing anyone with at least a "Flash Page" when you go to the site that would indicate the site was down etc. etc. My company has 3 sites that we depend on for info and product orders at times, and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt if any of them were down as long as the Bomber Site has been down without some form of notice - We would be replacing the web team rather quickly.

problem is that Noeller is 21 years old! - just kidding have no idea how old Noeller is - however in his defense I am somewhat crusty but I get the right to be - as I am over 21! (by 635 months).

I agree - I have been hard on Lapo and Hall all year and today I want to give them props for a job well done. Now on to Regina for what I hope is more of the same.

Just back from the game and trying to thaw out! A couple of observations 1.0 Terrible crowd - we have super reds and my row had about 1/2 the folks in it that I normally see. 2.0 No matter how well you dress for the dang cold - you can never ever keep your feet warm (even with thermal socks and snow boots). 3.0 Thank god for coffee! Now to the game - great game for the Bombers. BLM really stunk up the joint! According to the folks I was with - he has a problem with cold weather. I enjoyed seeing the Bombers play great in all facets of the game. Kudos to both the offense and defense. Finally - I will be at the Grey Cup and only one more game for the Bombers to win and they will be there - And please please let it be warmer!

I agree - watched the first half but now have to head out to McMahon to hopefully witness a Bomber victory! I taped the 2nd half and will watch when I get back hopefully enjoying a Bomber Win! Dang it is cold out!

Will be interesting to see what happens when I get there. We are just leaving shortly - Sun is out here in South Calgary but never know what it is like once I get to the stadium. I do know it is Cold and the winds are picking up.

Hard to figure this one out. I think the Edmonton DL could make a difference but as someone posted previously they seem to have fallen off over the past few weeks. And I am never ever certain what Jason Maas will do. He is sort of a wild card. I think I will go with Montreal on this one.

The area I will be somewhat focused on at the game is the line play. Calgary is starting 3 imports on their OL (both tackles and the center). It will all depend (IMHO) on how much pressure the Bomber DL can get on BLM. With the field conditions and the cold it also may be how well the Bombers can stop the Calgary run game and of course vice versa. I am heading out around 1PM for the game. Normally we leave earlier and stop for lunch somewhere but for this one we want to make sure we get there in good shape given the roads in Calgary today. Lots of snow and still snowing. I have AWD and winter tires on so not all that worried.

Welcome Goldy! I am still in my PJ's and checking in here. Got all my winter gear out ready to head out around 1PM Calgary time.Lots of snow on the ground and cold!

just for a fan perspective - where we sit is about 1/2 way up on the west side around the 45 yard line - and the winds seem to hit us pretty hard when they blow. I expect the field will be good but the winds may swirl and the cold will be a factor. I am hoping for a game that will be won or lost in the trenches where we have a chance. If BLM lights it up and the field is dry we are in deep trouble. I think it will be a close hard fought game!

I am one that supports both. Wanted to see all the comments on both sites today - The game starts at 2:30 tomorrow so will be dark and cold when finished. I have all my winter gear out ready to head out tomorrow - Lots of coffee will be consumed that's for sure. I

thanks for the info. If it is not too much to ask what is his address on twitter as I do not have it and really a novice on Twitter.

I believe so. Never understood the relationship etc. But thanks to all to confirm what I thought! - I try and post to both forms just to ensure they keep going etc. But getting the lack of feedback on the other forum when they are down is very bothersome.

Folks I know it is probably not good form to discuss the other Bomber Forum however I was wondering if anyone had tried to access it over the past 48 hours? I keep getting a 404 error on all of my browsers. The site is http://forums.bluebombers.com/index.php#1 and all I get is a 404 error. I have tried to post this issue on the social media sites for the Bombers but no response as of yet. Any others out there that have experienced the same issue and any ideas if it is something at my end would be greatly appreciated.

Can't help to agree somewhat. I have 4 Super Red Zone Season Tickets (all business related). I normally have clients call way in advance to see if they are available. For the WSF I got 1 call for 2 tickets. I am using the other and taking my son-in-law. The weather here is pretty crappy (at least according to what Environment Canada is predicting etc.) Lots of snow starting today and extending into tomorrow. High tomorrow with wind chill around -19C or so. Never know what to expect here. But I am predicting a sparse crowd for a play off game. I will be drinking lots of coffee that's for sure and will have on my Bomber Parka!

I really don't know how to predict this one! The Calgary OL is very good (I think they will start 3 Imports) - not 100% sure on that one. Last time out we did not get much pressure on BLM or at least not enough IMHO. I will be at the game - probably freezing my buns off!

Yeah not going to go there on your comments - Been there (almost 3 tours) know what happened so will steer this back to football - BTW most of the Aussies I knew over there were base camp dudes (means they never went to the bush). - In any event - looking forward to Sunday in the cold in Calgary - not sure how to predict the dang game. Going to be cold that's a given.

If you are in DaNang at the moment see if you can find anything about "China Beach" or a place called "Monkey Mountain" - I took in country R&R at China Beach when I was stationed at a fire base up on the Parrots Beak near the Cambodian boarder in 1969. Also had to do some work cleaning up the area around Monkey Mountain before the Air Force had a super secret installation going in there.

Well postage did go up this past year! so that would save them a few bucks!

Would be nice but the only way that would be possible would be for the Stamps to forget where BC Place is and end up in Victoria!

Here is How I See it Western Conference Winnipeg at Calgary (WSF) - Calgary wins hands down. Calgary at Saskatchewan (WF) - Calgary in a close one. Eastern Conference Edmonton at Montreal (ESF) - Montreal in a close game. Montreal at Hamilton (EF) - Hamilton wins easily Grey Cup Hamilton over Calgary in a very close game.

instead of Gin I recommend prayer! Lots and Lots of steady prayer from kick off on!

Man that's cold!

Fair Enough - I post over on RiderFans.com but am very careful what I post as they do tend to be very sensitive etc. But heck at least Nasty Nate AKA Lyle.E.Style is no longer welcome there.
