    BBRT got a reaction from bearpants in Bombers vs Als - Canada day weekend edition   
    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!!

    BBRT got a reaction from Jesse in CFL - 2023 Regular Season - Discussion Thread   
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.
