107th GREY CUP - Tiger-Cats @ Blue Bombers
Eternal optimist replied to JCon's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Lots of tabbies named as all-stars... good, crown their ass before they've actually done anything. Here's hoping Banks and Co. celebrate spectacularly about being the greatest that ever was from now until Saturday night. -
Nope. Not worth the risk, I don't want my kid growing up without a dad.

Reading this thread, I feel like a sucker for paying full price legitimately through ticketmaster for nosebleed seats, what can I say, I don't trust resale sights. C'est la vie - doesn't matter where in the stands long as they get it done and the beer is cold I am more than happy.

The terrifying thing is, even if MLCC manages to reestablish security protocol as tough as Fort Knox, these are crimes of opportunity - their next victims will be customers legally purchasing alcohol being attacked in the parking lots on their way to their vehicles.

This is because MacLeans (rightfully so) considers being a 'Rider fan a punishable offense.

Man, this reminds me of a story 'bout my old man. When I was a kid, we were out camping in Whiteshell Provincial Park, and he had to drive to pickup the boat from servicing, as he was getting all his stuff together, we asked him where he was heading... "The thriving metropolis of Rennie" He really made it sound like a great place, "What's there?" we asked, "Oh, lots of stuff..." So of course, he let us tag along. For the record, the "thriving metropolis" included the following amenities: - A coke machine that still sold coke for a quarter, year was about 1998. That was it.

Guys you're overthinking this! They chose to wear white so Evans won't see the blitzing LBs... natural camouflage from the snow. Also, if the team thinks wearing white will help them win, so be it. Whatever gives them a mental edge.

Every year for them is a rebuilding year lol.

This has no merit as to your predictive capabilities as it is scientific fact. It's like saying the sun will rise tomorrow.

Well, they played against each other as players, who were, at the time, in the same division. Obviously with both of them playing D played directly against each other. Might have to do with the whole deal of O'Shea being part of the Argos squad that broke Glenn's arm back in the 2007 East final. Many could argue that injury cost Doug Brown his best shot a Grey Cup ring. I'd like to think O'Shea was a class act as a player on the field, but it's one of those things where only the players themselves really know for sure.

107th GREY CUP - Tiger-Cats @ Blue Bombers

Bombers are underdogs heading into this game according to the casinos. Good. I want HAM to be fat and happy before we punch them in the mouth. -
Regardless who helped him, his tears sustain me.

1. Defence - Giving up only 3s instead of 7s and you've got a good chance to win. Massive, massive goal line stand at the end. 2. Collaros - took deep shots to stretch the D, and made good throws when necessary, even converted some 2nd and long's after Streveler experiments didn't work. No turnovers. 3. All those Rider fans talking smack making this win that much sweeter! For those keeping track, the Bombers were the first team to win: - A regular season game at New Mosaic Stadium (NMS) - (July 1, 2017) - A Western Semi-Final playoff game at NMS (November 18, 2018) - A Western Final playoff game at NMS (November 17, 2019) WE OWN NEW MOSAIC STADIUM WHEN IT COUNTS (which is in the playoffs). HH - Medlock, quietly perfect yet again.

JUST WIN, BABY. -
That ONE win.....that ONE loss
Eternal optimist replied to TrueBlue4ever's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Friday September 30, 2011, we were down by six (32-26) late in the 4th, and Carr managed to draw a pass interference penalty, bringing the drive down to the one. Offense had three cracks at it and couldn't punch it in. Questionable officiating aside, how do you not get a yard when the opposing D has to line up a yard away from the ball? We did get our vengeance that year though, in a game later that year (Oct 22), we did manage to beat the Als later in the regular season, and they'd end up getting bounced in the playoffs by Hamilton. -
That ONE win.....that ONE loss
Eternal optimist replied to TrueBlue4ever's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
By no means memorable, two terrible teams playing in a practically meaningless game, but the comeback win against the BC Lions in 2010 will always hold a special place in my heart, as it was the first live Bomber game I ever attended with my girlfriend (now wife). We were hooked thereafter and bought 2011 season tickets the next year. Old highlights if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj8fPebMdPI -
Don Cherry fired from HNIC
Eternal optimist replied to GOLD MEMBER's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
You're splitting hairs here, either statement is pointing fingers and creates divisiveness. It is mildly ironic that you defend his prejudice statement with a prejudice statement of your own. You are assuming that the only individuals offended are a certain group of people ("the White PC Police", your words), and yet like Cherry, you have nothing to substantiate or backup those claims. -

Eternal optimist replied to GOLD MEMBER's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
If Cherry had been willing to make an apology, either in person or writing, Rogers might've given him a pass. The fact that he didn't and he felt he said nothing wrong shows how much times have passed him by. Although I don't agree with his opinion or stance, it doesn't surprise me that he stuck to his guns, (and opinion), however bigoted or dated they may be. -

Personally, with Trudeau although the act itself was despicable, it was the fact that when asked how many times he wore blackface he couldn't recall. To me, that shows no respect for the racial issues at hand, he couldn't even use the "there was that one time in college" argument at that point. It's not the outlier, it's the norm for him. -
The hilarious part of this trade is it totally screwed the 'Riders over. They got a 4th-round pick that could have (conditionally) upped to a 2nd-rounder if Collaros played significant time with the Argos. He didn't, but the Argos still come out ahead because they flipped him to us for a 3rd rounder (potential 1st-rounder if we were to re-sign him).
-
Even though he's a cocky, since this is from a credible source I gotta say I have a bit more respect for Mr. Mitchell.

Just wear gloves and you'll be just fine, like our lord and savior Bo Levi Mitchell.

3 stars plus hh world beating blue bombers
Eternal optimist replied to wbbfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
1. Medlock, 4/4 on FG and hit a massive 52 yarder that swung some momentum back to WPG. 2. Streveler - had more rushing yards than Harris, played hurt and was still a beast. 3. Grant - had some big returns, and kept CAL's special teams on their toes. HH - Defense for being an nightmare for Bo "guess I'll eat some crow" Mitchell -
I think this just shows how arrogant they are, anyone in their right mind would've run QB sneak to get a fresh set of downs.
