Bubba Zanetti got a reaction from Fred C Dobbs in 2022 Off Season - Back 2 Back Champs Edition
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 🙂

And obviously does not embarrass easily. He should fit right in once the prefrontal lobotomy is done.

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.

Casey got his degree in medicine from the University of Manitoba. He attended classes & studied while playing for the Bombers. He interned in Winnipeg & London, England before settling in Connecticut where he practiced medicine the rest of his career.

Between Saunders, Blake Jackson, Lucky Jackson, Antonio Nunn, Dalton Schoen and TJ Simmons, I feel like we get at least one really good wr.
