I'd say 1971. Wingback (now called slot) Bob Kraemer threw 2 that year, I believe. He was the Bisons qb when they won back to back Vanier Cups in 1969 & 70.
Wow, Thanks. Very cool to see it happen.

Ok for the historians out there, When was the last time a Canadian threw a Touchdown pass for the Bombers?
And BC immediately recovered the "non-fumble". Bombers were very lucky on a bad call IMO.

I'm fine with the review concept; the implementation needs overhauling.
Probably the best idea I've seen is getting rid of slow-motion for reviews. If the command center can't tell in real time with multiple looks whether or not it was a penalty, there should be no expectation on the ref to get the original call right with only one look. While running down the field with players moving around him and fans screaming at him.
Save slow-mo exclusively for reviewing turnovers, in-bounds/out-of-bounds, etc.
When it comes to pass interference, the biggest problem isn't whether reviews are used or not, it's the appearance of a lack of a single standard and definition of what constitutes pass interference, and getting all refs to call it to that same standard.
Love this idea.

If you can touch it, you can catch it.
Well not really, but that's what my dad always says.

Screw it, trade him to Saskatchewan, for maximum popcorn.

I really like Glen, the old hand whose seen everything.
and I think he fits what we are trying to accomplish on Offense right now.

Duron Carters Wonderlic score was 39. The average score for a professional WR is 17. Sure he's had his issues in Montreal, but he's the big, physical receiver. It's not like a talented head case hasn't rejuvenated his career before (randy moss)
The Wonderlic is the stupidest thing ever.

Not to downplay what jerks the people who did this are, and I hope they are caught and banned from IGF for the foreseeable future...
I guess there's no way to say this without coming across like a jerk myself, BUT
If I went to that game as a kid, my Parents first would have serious reservations about bringing me to the Banjo Bowl, and if I did go, they would make damn sure I wasn't wearing green.
People will be assholes, its a fact of life. I wouldn't take a kid to the Banjo Bowl ever, nor would I take a kid to a college rivalry game. Too much boozing to be safe for a kid.
Again, If they find out who did it they should be banned from Bomber games. But I wouldn't have put a kid in that situation.
I went to ACDC when I was approx 13, caught a beer from behind in the back of the head. Wasn't mad, because it was a concert, and kinda expected a little rowdiness.
EDIT: Not placing any blame on the kid, but I think there could be safer parenting here.

Put down the green goggles for a second, you have issues at receiver, RB, OL, DL, LB and DB. Also special teams in pretty much every spot.
I thought the Riders were excellent on special teams
Coverage and punting was excellent on the Banjo Bowl for the riders. Thought he out kicked medlock.
Obviously their kicker had a bad game at the LDC, but he seemed to have been a bright spot up to that point. Also how quickly do we forget the return that killed us last game.

final spot on the CFL monopoly board.
Listen, if he punches all the spots on the royalty card, he gets his next cup of coffee free. That just makes business sense.

Tough hard fought win.
A bit better with the run game, Medlock hits his Field Goals and this is a comfortable win.
The Rider D came to play. Their punter and punt coverage was also very good.
The Riders became 1 dimensional so quick. They need a running back.

Tickets on the secondary market are insane today, lol.
Stubhub only down to 75$ US right now, and only 4 available.

Check Kijiji. I saw a few tickets available there. Some of them are not cheap, though.
Yeah, I'm on there. No responses yet.

Long shot, but if someone has a single ticket, I'd buy it.

Looks like Rickey Ray is out for the rest of the year.

Ricky Ray threw what seemed like 20 swing passes to their running back, and they all went for 20 yards. Was infuriating to watch.
