Dave Vankoughnett's kid was the QB at Dakota this year, and may still be there next year too, so if you want to rub shoulders with the former Bomber, encourage him to go there.  
They've also got a defensive lineman who was on the Western Canada under 16 team this summer, and led the WHSFL in forced fumbles and was near the lead in sacks as well. I believe he's only in grade 10, so there will be some talent there for the next couple years.

Forgive me if I'm a little out of the loop because it's been a few years since I was a coach in the WHSFL and haven't really been keeping up, but if Ray Jarvis is still the HC of the Lancers your son could do a lot worse than playing for him.  Having known Ray, and coaching against him, for many years I can attest to his quality as a coach and as a developer of players.

I would suggest talking to some of the coaches from perspective HSs. The coach and team to help you go to the next level (if thats the goal) may not be the one thats stacked to contend at the HS level. Hard to get any where if you dont play a lot. A smaller team where he would get a lot more play time would be valuable. If again that is a situation you find your self in, or could. Also if you would be flipping the money to put him through that school, that money could with a smaller team  be spent on off season camps, and coaching seminars. While some things translate better then others, the level of coaching available to sub college level players down south is extraordinary.  And many skills developed down their translate just as well up here. Food for thought any way. Not knowing how much hes played previously, I would put the emphasis on play time.

Kinda cool seeing some players doing some stuff out in the community. Was reading some of the FB comments apparently Osh's son plays (or played) for St. Paul, so I wonder if he has any influence on getting players to guest coach? Also read Teague Sherman was involved with the Oak Park Raiders for a while while he was with the blue and gold.  My son's going to be in high school next year and we've talked about him playing football in the high school league. Right now it seems like he may go to Dakota (lives in st vital) but I was hoping for a more stronger football program. Anyone follow high school football more closely to have any insight?  Are there any other bombers that do some work with other schools?

There should be a depends option. If Popp can't find a suitable replacement heading into 2018 then I don't see how they don't back up a truck to his front door and beg him for 1 more year

Added.  I guess with the rumors on Franklin going there (outbidding SSK), it was my guess that Ray might retire and Toronto would be JF's highest bidder.  Ray will be 39 by the end of next season.   Burris suffered almost no injuries even at his old age, yet even he saw the writing that said when it was time to go, it was time to go.  Ray on the other hand got relatively fortunate this last season that he missed little time and was able to stay in there for TO.  Given what happened over the last few years though, I wouldn't be betting that him playing an entire season is just going to happen again.  Now just seems like the right time for Ricky to say football is done, time to spend time with family and other things.

I think Calgary will part ways with McDaniel and Messem and will dip into FA a little more than usual this year.
TO might face the same situation as Ottawa did last year and having won the cup many players will be looking to cash in and could potentially lose a lot of players in FA, other then some of the players that came from Montreal it will be interesting to see how much loyalty there is for Popp and Trestman among the other players.
I see no reason why Winnipeg doesn't stay the course as it usual annual offseason,  resign a bulk of our own,  grab a few FA and fail to address some glaring holes like MLB... hope i'm wrong but sometimes I wonder if Walters/Osh prioritize other areas more than what we see as deficiencies on the team IE: by retooling the DL with better pass rushers we can mask the short comings of a weak MLB so they spend more time focusing on the DL then finding an actual MLB..etc
Sask will continue to scrap heap and bring in 100+ players because with the riders bottom line and Jones getting  carte blanche he's like a fat guy at the buffet table wearin his eatin pants.  
Edmonton will be interesting do they ride reilly for a few more years or is their beating at the WF the wake up call that the future might be now and Franklin is more valuable long run. I really don't think they keep both but if they do Sunderland is a lot better GM then I thought
BC will be the montreal of 2018. Tons of turn over including upstairs and new guy(s) will likely have to ax a lot of pricey aging vets.  I really hope the bombers can pick up one of the receivers that potentially shake loose
Ottawa will be active in FA this year. I think they are close to being a decent team but they lost too much after winning the cup. a few key cogs could go a long way.
Hamilton will likely stay much the same as they ended. With June Jones now the full HC (no more intern tag) I'm sure they would like to see more of what he can do with Masoli heading into 2018. Collaros is pretty much done in Ham, I expect him to be in montreal or maybe even BC 
Montreal - Kavis Reed is still there. basement dwellers once again.

After watching Thor Ragnarok 2 weeks ago it really dawned on me that Marvel's success heavily revolves around its infusion of comedy into the movies. If you took that out or at least the better delivery of it than DC does for the most part,  I think both Marvel and DC would be pretty even keel. I will admit that Marvel movies seem to have a better flow to them,  but I do think getting a good joke in and there every 15-20 mins alleviates some of the boredom a superhero movie trying to take itself too seriously inevitably causes.  I think DC tries once in awhile to add some humor but it's bland in comparison to the way Marvel executes their jokes

Schooners. I can't see it being anything else.

The games been sold out for a while so I don't think the event organizers really care who plays. It should be pretty full and with super milf Shania doing half time should get enough eyes on the game to deem it a success in the end

Not a trailer but still fun to watch... can't wait for the 2nd movie

The songs are pretty bad but man the commentating is hilarious *language warning*

These chicks are rolling into town i think in January, the guitar players are kinda hot and they can rock I might check this show out at the burt
 

"He's not even a has been.. he's a never was"  
I'd only look at Keanu Reeves if they decided to change the QB ratio cuz of Bridge and Buckley... Reeves looks like he's a few yards short of a first down at the best of times...

lol no i didn't it's right above that last paragraph,  nichols 28 tds to 8 ints, reilly 30 tds to 13 ints.  Nichols for sure has the better stats in that respect but it's hard to ignore the 1064 yards Reilly has on Nichols in just 15 more completions, that's an average of 70.9 yards per completion per pass in difference 

Nichols and Reilly have similar # except for 1 glaring difference,  yards, reilly has about 1050 more yards then Nichols with only 15 more completions 
Nichols: GP: 17  411/579 for 4472 yards 28 TDs to 8 Ints
Reilly: GP: 17 426/627 for 5536 yards  30 TDs to 13 Ints
Would be interesting to see what kind of yards Nichols would have had with the same weapons as Reilly who can literally just chuck a ball down field and rely on guys like Zylstra, Walker or bowman to win the 50/50 at any given time.  I don't see the same insurance/assurance in Adams, Dressler, Denmark or Lankford

I think they might give Singleton DPOY and Harris MOC just to share the love

Anyone who scores 4 touchdowns in 1 game is surely too talented for the CFL, Bundy would be waiting for NFL offers long before he even considered coming up north. 
He does wear #33 tho guess if it was a toss up between Harris or Bundy... Touchdown Bundy it is!
 

given our needs I propose the following signings;
Burt "Paul Crewe" Reynolds - QB
Jamie "Willie Beamen" Foxx - QB 2
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - LB
Casper "Johnny Rico" Van Dien - WR
We might go a little over the cap but the gate draw will have us selling out every game keeping us in the black!

No one is suggesting that Taman be given the keys to the franchise. Taman is very good at evaluating receivers, running backs, and DL. Sign him up as a scout and work his strengths. Let McManus et al do their thing which appears to be secondary, OLB, and OL. Right now what we are lacking in our scouting department seems to be a good fit for Taman. That's all I'm saying. Barker too, is a good talent evaluator for QBs and receivers. They're unemployed let them turn over some stones for us, they have a massive network of connections down South.
