Eternal optimist

Remember this game?!?!? At the time, my mom and dad had their own tickets, as well as my dad's work had a pair of company seats. Most of the time the company seats went for schmoozing potential clients and stuff. However my dad had said I could have 'em. I was pumped because they were pretty good seats (40 yard line, right behind the away team - close enough when there was a big hit you could hear it). Game day comes - get a call from Pops - someone's in town... no dice on game tickets. I was super disappointed, had rearranged shifts at work and stuff for it. Being the nice guy my dad was, he bought me a pair of tickets to the game anyways (tbh, looking back, I could've done that myself, but for some reason as a kid I always thought Bomber games were more expensive than they were). So - we were in! Took my then - girlfriend at the time - it was looking to be a stinker, but I convinced her to stay and boy was it a good one. I will never forget the stadium announcer - "For those of you joining us from the parking lot..." place went absolutely bonkers, especially when the comeback was on. Fast forward to now - we are married and have happily been season ticket holders since 2011. At games, we always stay right to the bitter end, because it's the CFL and you never know. TLDR; Yes, yes I do remember that game.

Yep. I remember that. An announcement nobody wanted that camefrom board member Jim Bell which just added insult to injury.

But... I've got a fevah... And the only prescription... Is more cowbell (and opposing players running around not knowing the playcall)

Alright well, won't be the first time I was dead wrong on this forum and certainly won't be the last. I'll own it though and say I stand corrected.

Tbh RE: Harris ejection, it seems there are two sets of rules for players... If you are an All Star (i.e. Harris) you aren't gonna get ejected. What he did definitely warranted it. Reminds me of Vernon Adams Jr. Attempting to hit Bighill with his helmet last year when Montreal came back against us and we lost in spectacular fashion (but also clinched a playoff spot)

He also is tied for the most games played (6) and has the most attempts (31) though bc of our stellar defense...

I mean, if you want to go full butterfly effect, they may have only lost the Banjo Bowl by 2 touchdowns. Hell, they may have even scored double digits.

People on here rip on Nelson alot but there are two things he does more consistently than anyone else (1) Catch it consistently (2) Catch it in the air (which helps with No Yards calls, especially the 15 yard variety

Lol maybe Toronto can do everyone a favour next week and they'll go from "undefeated plan the parade" to "uhoh, we're a .500 team"

Meh, who cares if we are underrated. Let the Rider fan base be fat and happy. I am fine with everyone not giving us credit where it is due. Pretty sure TSN still hasn't comprehended pur manhandling of the Ti-Cats in the 2019 Grey Cup

Ssk at Wpg Punching? Ejected! Rider D green with envy Lol Isaac Harker

HH to the entire Roughrider coaching staff for having such an undisciplined team that took massive penalties at crucial junctures in that game.

In other news, AC Leonard yet to be potty trained

Imagine being so bad you have to juice up to record 2 defensive tackles and get spanked by your rivals in your own barn last week lol.

I am eliminated and am electing to use my ability to curse players for good. William Powell.

Sure...even then though... That would incrementally have increased the bombers score by +4 (TD+PAT instead of FG) which would have made the differential only a 6 pt win... Which, in the CFL is still pretty close...

Yep. They're 1-4, but lady luck has not been on their side. Of their losses, only the 32-20 loss to the Elks was by more than a touchdown.

Over-doing ripping on the Rider fan base after such a dominating performance... What a wonderful problem to have.

I mean... they're not wrong.

So much this. People seem to forget we've run some great kickers out of town the last few years, Hajrullahu being the most obvious one... who ironically lots of people here are clamoring to sign. No place for this...Just wanted to point out that even Rider fans can't even be a-holes right... sounds like they got the wrong address.

Winnipeg's motto? "If opponents can not score, We will for sure win"

Boys are in tough, any given Sunday though. Having Demski back helps. Go Bombers!

This is more indicative of the faults and pitfalls of using average as a metric as opposed to Rider ineptitude.

Alright this bothered me. Just how many people can say they won a Grey Cup with Saskatchewan? I looked it up... and the Riders' have won the Grey Cup 4 times... Unofficial roster player totals and a breakdown by year is provided below: 1966 - 37 players (2) 1989 - 53 players (3) 2007 - 77 players (4) 2013 - 71 players (5) Total: 238, less instances of same player with multiple wins (7) = 231 people Only 231 people! To put that in perspective 553 people have reached Earth's orbit (5) Sources (1) https://www.statscrew.com/football/roster/t-CFLSSK/y-1966 (2) https://www.statscrew.com/football/roster/t-CFLSSK/y-1989 (3) https://www.statscrew.com/football/roster/t-CFLSSK/y-2007 (4) https://www.statscrew.com/football/roster/t-CFLSSK/y-2013 (5) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_space_travelers_by_nationality#cite_note-1

Cal at Wpg Who would have thought that Leggio verse Paredes Would be exciting?
