Moment of silence for all those poor bastards heading west on a late highway drive westward.

Whatever parades suck anyways

The ONLY reasonable explanation for that putrid O is if Collaros was more hurt than he appeared. Even then though, it gets to a point where you have to let the healthier guy(s) play

Not a fan of Legghio's kickoffs this year. Is it just the eye test, or does someone have net kick off numbers handy?
His average k/o for the season was 63.9 net yards. Boris Bede had the best during the regular season (68.7 net yards). So he isnt terrible but i would say that speaks more of our coverage than his kicking ability.

Everyone's gonna be so confused when they list Collaros as our kicker on the depth chart.

Here's something for thought... if that wasn't an automatics review, would the BC sideline have known to challenge to it??
Sucks the call went against the Bombers, but at the end of the day they got it right. This was a perfect case where an automatic booth review is warranted, it was a turnover early in the game, they miss that call we likely go down and score and the Lions are in a big hole. If there's no booth review, even if Campbell knew the rule, he still burns a challenge and has to gamble on it early on.

The reason scots wore kilts was that the sound of zippers would panic whole herds of sheep.
Do you know why when a Rider fan ***** a sheep, he does so at the edge of a cliff?
It's so the sheep will push back.

they were so concerned with the weather they forgot about the thirty thousand screaming lunatics in the stands.
Can confirm from our seats at the 40 yard line BC players were running triple coverage on the space heater all game long.

Agreed. Still think that The club will do what they can (if anything) to accommodate.
It’s all about the optics, and Wade is well aware.Sure, but tbh the hands of the Bombers are kind of tied. Awful situation, but not really anything the club could have done differently about it.

It was the only available date. There are some mitigating measures that could have been taken.
On the other side - these are the kinds of conflicts that were going to occur when building on a university campus. The Bombers don't own/control the university and could have been better partners in this situation, imo.
Like it said in the article, everyone supports diversity/inclusion until it inconveniences them - then it's fend for yourself.
Its just a bad situation, but what're the Bombers/CFL supposed to do? The game has been scheduled for months now, the Bombers have legal right to the parking lot 90 mins before kickoff, per the agreement. Changing kickoff time is silly, if anything I'd be blaming the U of M adminstration. For them here it's a win win... They get $ from both events, and none of the bad public press, despite them being the only ones able to really do anything about the situation. As nothing more than the next tenant to use the lot, what should the Bombers be doing that they're not?

Not a good look, but to be honest who's the idiot that double-booked the university on the day of the West Final?

I see no mention of fan votes.
The Division All-Stars were selected by the local voting members of the Football Reporters of Canada (FRC) in their respective division’s markets and the National Chapter, as well as their respective division’s head coaches.
Per paragraph 2, each fan vote counts towards CFL All-Star selection
-
For those complaining, the voting for all stars was partially generated by fans. Which would explain why some players made the list likely by virtue of star power / name recognition
