    No it’s down.  Haven’t heard any update from the mod admin.  Reached out to him on Twitter and nothing but the Bombers did acknowledge it was down and they are working on it.  

    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.

    The Bombers organization is connected to that board ?........ 

    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.

    Zero is being optimistic. The Stamps fanbase is pathetic. There is only a handful of Calgary media here who care. The rest is Flames. Flames. Flames. Other than the 3 media types at 770 CHQR who cover the Stamps on radio, there's only 1 Postmedia beat writer who covers the Stamps for both the Calgary Sun & Herald. His name is Danny Austin. I follow him on twitter. He's constantly tweeting about the Stamps & he engages anyone who comments.  The guy likes CFL football & does a good job covering the team. But that's it. No one else really does. The sad part is he's from Toronto & he has more passion for the Stampeders than the rest of the media combined.

    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!

    I knew an Aussie who served there. The unit refused to go out on patrol or bivouac with Americans, as they were stupid, careless, racist, arrogant and often stoned. They were dumb enough to go on patrol with lit cigarettes in their mouths, day or night and call to each other. The Aussies would not bed down until an hour after sunset, and move out before dawn. Only half the unit would sleep at a time. They had little respect for the Yanks had very few casualties compared to them. The Aussies saw some horrific torturing by the US troops.

    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.

    Want to hear their cries of pain all the way to Da Nang..

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    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.

    so we know we will be facing the Stamps in WSF. we just need them to come down to Winnipeg. hopefully Leos will make that possible.

    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.

    At the beginning of the season many laughed at the riders for starting him... many made lots of jokes about Zak not being good enough anymore....   then Zak gets hurt again and the nasty comments kept flowing....  I understand in a nine team league this reusing of QB's is very visible as QB's take a step to the right and join a new team.....   it even so it still looks weird,   I don't think it helps much with ticket sales either..... probably why they lowered the stadium beer price to the bar price... .. ... it's gonna  be no fun listening to riderfans chuckling all winter over this....  I might have to suck it up and watch the game like do or die,  what's the best gin for watching the Bombers ?

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

    I agree.  But I don't feel there are very many if any immature and insulting posters here.... and it made me think of some of them over at riderfans who are ridiculous.  So for a riderfans regular to come here and say that made me laugh.  

    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.

    I saw Brock throw a ball through the uprights from midfield in pre-game...from his knees. Not wind aided either.

    Got to tell you my favorite Brock memory - Lived in Dallas at the time but my wife is from the Peg. Came up late fall one year and my in laws took me to the game. First time I had see a CFL wide field. Wow! In any event it was in the first quarter and the bombers had the ball on the right hash mark. Brock dropped back and faded to his right then threw across the field to the left side stripes - must have been 40-50 yrds or so maybe more. I was sitting right in front of the receiver only a few rows up. Don't remember who the receiver was at the time. The ball never was higher than probably 8 ft or so - perfect spiral! the ball hit the receiver with such force it knocked him down. There was no D Back around him! Never ever saw an arm like Brock had never will again!

    Reading these threads after losses, we dont deserve a winner. 

    well in that case we are definitely getting what we deserve! Cause we are not a "winner" by any stretch. And if average or mediocre meets your expectation that good for you. As long as MOS is around you will be a happy camper cause that is what you will get with him running the show.

    Well, as I sit and look through the condo window in northeast Calgary, it's overcast. Forecast says Partly Cloudy, 30% chance of showers for this evening. High of 9 this afternoon but cooling off around game time. 

    McMahon is a graveyard for us but this Stamps team is as beatable as they've ever been. Today, missing Don Jackson and Tre Roberson, that much more so. 

    While the odds would suggest a season finish of Sask-Cgy-Wpg, why not throw a wrench into things and win out the season just for fun?? 

    Let's Go Blue.... Game Day: We All Play. 

    Same here - I have 4 season tickets (business related) and finally get to keep one. We are in section F row 55 - where are you sitting? Not sure who got the other 3 tickets as most of my sales guys are in Turkey for a OEM session. I choose to stay in good of Calgary and send them!

    That's the thing! There is NOBODY better available (I'm not convinced Khari is better... But he'd be the only guy I'd want). Every other team in the league would want Osh as an HC. It's only our insane, can't-ever-be-happy "fans" that want him gone. 

    I would be in favor or MOS staying but only if both Hall and Lapo hit the road. If we have the gang of 3 back next year I would expect more of the same. Winning season but no joy in the playoffs. Might not even be a discussion as no one knows if MOS will want to move on etc. It will be an interesting off season that's for sure.

    If Sask. eclipses us headed for the Cup then there has to be some accountability...Trying to sell mediocrity and spinning your tires is not going to go down well IF we are one and done....The knives will be out...O'Shea will likely be gone (if he doesn't have those plans already) and the house cleaning will begin....Of course we can still win it all and everything will be hunky dory... Not many people putting money on that scenario though..We'll see 

    yeah not sure what the Vegas odds would be on that one but they would be significant. As for me I see us one and done in the playoffs and then the house cleaning starts! Where it starts is anyone's guess but I think O'Shea will be gone first however who really knows.

    But we did get a lot of really important talk about when we should fire Mike O'Shea and why the answer is 3 years ago. 

    Put the last month behind us, kick the crap out of Montreal and send the trolls back to their bridges. 

    You're a hoot - Anyone that disagrees with your view point is a Troll! Guess what! The Bombers have a ton of issues and avoiding discussions on them will not make them go away. Not that anything we say makes all that much difference in any event but folks that have opinions that differ than yours are not trolls at least IMHO.

    So you missed the Patpong, then?

    😉

    I refuse to answer that question on the grounds it might incriminate me. I hit the Nam in early 1969 and was in Bangkok early 1970 and it was just sort of starting up although had been in existence for some time. I took an out of country to Sidney (Kings Cross Area) at the end of my second tour. Actually like Sidney a little better.
