Still needs to be voted on??

Noice! Just when Geoff Gray was looking like a shoo-in. Dobson is a mauler and will compete for a starting job.

Is it too much to ask that somewhere, anywhere, someone from the league could have made the ticket buying public aware that the date TO PURCHASE YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP GAME TICKETS has been pushed back??!? Not one friggin' article or announcement anywhere?!?! Thats mickey mouse.

So everything ive read online, including the Riders website, says that today is the day they open Grey Cup tickets for CFL season ticket holders. Been trying to buy all morning. Nothing. So i chat with Chelsea at the Bombers and she tells me that apparently theyve pushed back the date to May 26. Nowhere online can i find any type of info saying they have pushed back the date. Kind of important. Might want to change your f****** website Riders. Nice job. Looks pretty stupid on the league too. Talk about mickey mouse. Your championship game and its a cluster**** to figure out how/when to get tickets. Unreal.

Article also mentions: Brad Fotty, who has been in the position since 1990, has since put Walby’s 63 and Stegall’s 85 out of commission. The same was done for Bob Cameron’s 6.

These are his yards per carry over the first 10 years of his career. Dear god. Why did these Bomber teams even bother throwing the ball?!?!? 6.2 6.9 7.0 6.5 8.7 7.1 6.5 5.2 7.4 5.4

Ive been reading up on this Dalton Schoen. Something about this guy.....Ive got a feeling he sticks and makes an impact this year, and hopefully beyond.

Interesting that Montreal isnt even holding a rookie camp. Seems bizarre. Why wouldnt you want to get rookie Americans familiar with the CFL game?

True to form over the last couple of years, i count 28 DB's currently coming to camp lol. Talk about competition.

Apart from a 3-15'esk disaster i'd be shocked if they moved on from Khari so soon.

The hate us cause they aint us!

I hear he wears a rattlesnake condom, and he once punched a hole in a cow just so he could see who was coming up the road.

Where did you see that? His CFL.CA page says 6'3 285lbs?

Unless maybe it was his college team?

Hey fellas, found this book on amazon, just came out in January. Its called Border Boys and its basically a historical look at football in general but mostly focusses on the American players that lived close to Canada that came up north in the 30's and helped change our game. Specifically about the first time the Grey Cup was won by a western team(Winnipeg in 1935). Its written by a North Dakotan (Ryan Christiansen). I just got into it but it really seems like he's done his research. Thought you all might find it interesting. Thats Fritz Hanson on the cover who essentially became the first true Winnipeg Blue Bomber star back in the 30's. He pretty much single handedly won us the 1935 Grey Cup from what ive read(334 punt return yards in the game which is still a Grey Cup record). My late grandmother would often speak of his exploits 🙂

Most Rider fans seem to hate this move so that makes me happy.

Mother nature can take a sharp stick and........you know the rest.

Pretty cool pic of Jack Jacobs and Tom Casey. Notice how the equipment trunk says Winnipeg Rugby Football Club. Many moons ago! Some interesting facts about Tom Casey. He was the first african american player to be voted into the CFL hall of fame, and he was actually a licensed practising doctor. A profession which he worked in after football.

Not just in the CFL but the game of American football globally. Truly one of the early pioneers of the forward pass.

Agreed. Theres a reason why Winnipeg Stadium is referred to as the house that Jack built. These are his passing stats from 1951! GP Att Com % Yds TD Int 14 355 204 57.5 3248 33 10 Insane. That would be a pretty great season in todays game! First professional QB to throw for over 3000 yards and 30 TD's. Oh and he was also the teams punter and had a 41.1 yard average over 95 punts.

No complaints from me.

Dont bother. Im on a corner and on the lengthwise side of my yard thats adjacent to the sidewalk, i have 4 feet of granite that runs under my fence line. Well after the nuggets that run the sidewalk snowblowers did their damage, i now have probably 2 afternoons worth of picking up hundreds upon hundreds of granite stones that have been re-deposited onto the boulevard(that i also have to cut. Thanks city).

I dont imagine theyre getting much of a deal. Governments arnt known for taking their time when sending out tenders to get the best price. Usually its a case of who you know and what you get if you know what i mean.
