    To be honest. It's not that what we currently have we think is better. We are just ready for change. I loved having Durant as a rider but even I think it was time to move on from him. 

    I remember feeling that exact way about Glenn after the '08 Bomber season. May it work out just as well for the Riders!

    I wouldn't mind keeping him over dressler to be honest. Just due to dresslers age. But yeah I don't think both of them will be on the team next year.

    I'd mind based on production. If the Bombers were to let their top receiver go to keep a guy who gets hurt as much as Smith does, I wouldn't be happy.

    Thank god I've realized that the keyboard warriors who represent Saskatchewan really have nothing in common with the fans who sit in the stands, because I yet again had a wonderful gameday experience in Regina this weekend. It's only when I get on the internet that Rider fans make me want to slam my head against the nearest blunt object.

    I strongly agree with this. I hate the Riders as much as anyone but I've attended 11 LDC games there and the fans around me have always been great. Some guys sitting in front of us even wanted to get pictures with us after the game this year. Good rapport in the stands. Then I come back on the forums...

    Well, they've created this "If I'm from Sask, I have to wear the green, because everyone does..." but all that will go away with some losing. Make no mistake, it's not a myth that all of this ramped up because of the 2007 GC....

    Oh, totally! I went to my first Labour Day game in '04 with 4 friends and we easily found 5 good seats together. In August! After that Grey Cup there has been a huge change.

  18. Best Labour Day Classic Memories

    I have a fun one. My first time going to Regina for the game was in 2004. While watching warm-ups before the game, a buddy I was with decided to get Kenton Keith's attention. "Hey Keith! Kenton Keith!!", he yelled. Keith looked over and was greeted with the follow-up "I SLEPT WITH YOUR MOTHER!!". Normally, I figure pro athletes hear this kinda thing all the time and just ignore it. However, this time Kenton Keith stared my friend down long enough that I was envisioning the headlines in the paper the next day. Whether or not that encounter had anything to do with it, Kenton Keith actually had a very poor game, as did Henry Burris. Kevin Glenn and the Bombers prevailed that day, 17-4. It wasn't the greatest football game but I'd love to see a repeat. This year will be my 10th Labour Day trip to Regina (I missed a couple years in between). It's easy to forget that I actually saw the Bombers win there once upon a time. This year, they may be the underdogs against a 0-9 team but, as always.... GO BLUE!!

    I actually think the Riders are a better team than us right now. I wouldn't be surprised if we lost both of those games. *shrug*

    I would love to read your rationale behind this statement to be honest. I'm not saying you're right or wrong, I just want to know why you are saying that before I decide if you're out of your mind or have some validity to it. 

     

     

    I was actually thinking about this the other day....

     

    Other then a game against Tor that SK lost by 25 points and a game against Edm they lost by 10 points, 2 of their losses have been by 4 points, 3 losses by 3 points, and 1 loss by 2 points.    For a team that lost both their #1 and #2 QBs a couple of games in the season, to be a field goal away from 4 more possible wins / ties isn't bad.

     

    The Bombers had Willy for most of the season, and even with Willy, the Bombers losses have been by 26, 1, 29, 30, 7 points.   While the Bombers wins have been by 4, 2, and 10 points.

     

    I know it is tough to look purely at the score to compare the two because the score dictates so many decisions in the 4th quarter, but a couple of plays going the other way and the Bombers could easily be 0 - 8 right now while SK could have 2 - 3 wins.

     

    QBing is now a wash between both teams (unproven rookies with maybe an edge to SK for having a bit more experience). Then consider how many blowouts the Bombers have lost in (with Willy) and how many games in which we were done by half time, and the games coming up against SK aren't guaranteed by any stretch of the imagination.  SK has been in most of their games with a chance to win right up to the end of the game.  The Bombers have lost 3 blowouts where there was no chance for a comeback in the 4th quarter and some games by the 3rd quarter.

     

    I wouldn't at all be surprised if we lose both games against SK.  Then again maybe I'm just getting conditioned to the Bombers losing over the past number of seasons.

     

    I think that's a huge part of it. I'm going to my 10th LDC this year and I feel like I'd be an idiot if I'd ever be surprised if the Bombers lost that game. I've seen some things there that I can't ever un-see. That being said, it really pisses me off to see how cocky Rider fans are about that game. Their team sucks. If the Bombers can shut Messam down (I know, easier said than done) and hold on to a couple of the picks I'm confident Smith will offer up, they should win that game!
