I am sure everyone is happy the Bombers are working on their portion of the debt. I know government involvement can be a sore point but just think Arlington Texas owns the 1.3 Billion dollar stadium the Dallas Cowboys play in. The Dallas Cowboys make a a bit of money too (620 million in 2014) and are worth supposedly 4 Billion dollars but could not afford to build their own stadium (or chose not to). The Bomber are paying a big part of IGF .
So when you hear the Bombers are paying down their debt even if it is slowly then I would have to say it is a good thing.
No doubt, not denying that but...
The Bombers are paying down their debt, with the help of more, borrowed, public funds.
The City, the Province both benefitted greatly with having the Grey Cup here. Probably even earned more money than they kicked in for the game. But, the Bombers also were the benefactors of a new stadium, a renovated Convention Centre, etc. This is probably the best case scenario where all parties benefit, so thumbs up!

Let's not forget that a lot funding came from the Province and City. So before Wade goes patting himself on the back too much, we all kicked in to help secure these "profits".

Man oh man.....apparently I'm missing out by going to the game to watch the game.
I'm actually capable of eating a hot dog and watching the football game at the same time. I must be special.

I wish they would finally fix the bussing, specifically after the game....
Currently, they have people line up at a spot, then the bus stops 5 (to 20) feet behind or ahead. Then everyone at the back of the line gets on and others, near the front can't.
Sometimes they have multiple busses at each stop open and other times they don't.
I would like to them make a decision and stick with it.
It's quite remarkable (and embarrassing) that after three full seasons, that they can't coordinate this and give us a consistent experience.
I'm pleased they've added the large water jug (I don't know what to call it) on the west side upper deck. Waiting in line for a water refill was painful.
Stadium food. They don't triage very well. I can understand why they don't want a big line building up, after paying, for hot food but not everyone in line is waiting for hot food. I wish they would still take patrons that are after drinks, chips, popcorn, etc.
I say all this as a father who brings his 5 year old son to most games. If it's just me and another adult, I can cope with bussing and water much easier. It's not so easy with a little one. Consistency is key.

According to Google, we do get thrashers in southern Manitoba during summer breeding season.
I wonder what a Thrashers jersey, in Jets 1.0 colours would look like?
(I'm not suggesting they should do this and they certainly won't)

I don't think US labor (not labour) laws would allow the CFL to mandate a ratio, forcing them to sign Canadians.
Where would they play in St Louis?

Did they not do that last year too?
It seems to me, with the bye-weeks, we often only have one home game in August.
-
7:30 starts are more of a challenge for me because I bring my 6 year old son. That's pretty late. He may have to carry me home.
EDIT: But I guess that's the way it's been. Just seems like more 7:30 starts this year.

I hope those are not our jerseys. Can't place my finger on it but something looks "off". Perhaps it's because the "69" is not centered. Perhaps the blue isn't quite correct. Perhaps its the squiggly gold piping (I'm guess that's piping?).
But I do love gold. So all gold, head to toe, will be awesome. We'll call them the Golden Boys. Like the Golden Girls but with less broken hips.

I've heard criticism about the amount of players that the Bombers have signed but no one saying that we've been overspending on those targets. I think we got some good deals in there.
And frankly, I don't care if we are at the cap. It's where we should be.

I really hope this is accurate.
I read the thread that talks about the new CFL jerseys, where this mock-up is from. It appears these are based on an Adidas template. Still, all discussion and rumours appear as though we're headed back the royal blues!

Not a CFL FA, but as a likely US college UDFA, we should take a look at Zach Vraa out of NDSU. In 2013 he had almost 500 more reception yards than Ryan Smith: http://www.gobison.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6271&path=football
It would be nice to get a WR out of North Dakota before the Riders do.
I thought the entire state was on their neg list!

It's more than just taking on Muamba's salary, you have to give something to MTL, as well.
What are you prepared to give up? Draft picks may be our only commodity.
Uniform changes with Adidas may not be dramatic

CFL needs to get new Adidas jerseys right - From 3 Down Nation
I thought there was some really good points in there.
The helmet, being one. Illegible numbers is a beef of mine. The issue of Edmonton's side panelling was quite interesting too, which I hadn't considered.
