  1. And a meh (something like) 15th pick in the draft. A kid we may or may not see until 2030.
  2. And we need help on the interior of the DL to shore it up. With Jake Thomas hogging the playimg time for years, I really don't know what we have. I do know that the DL played better as a unit when Thomas wasn't on the field.
  3. We HAVE to move on from Schoen. He's cooked.
  4. He didn 't like being Number 2 behind Lawler last year & I think it affected his performance. Eberhardt would be okay.
  5. Thank you., He owned an auto body shop on Marion Street for 41 years after the war to 1982 & was a master repairer. It was like he was an artist. He could take a car with twisted metal from a crash & bring it back to life. He was Old School having learned his craft ion the 1930's before the War. He taught his guys how to weld like he was taught with Old School techniques. They would be fascinated with my Dad's welding techniques as they were never taught that. They were all eager to learn. I can remember guys coming up to me when I worked at the shop & saying, "You're Dad is amazing!!" Which made me proud, Generally, he'd hire young guys out of Red River College for their first job. They'd be a "Go Fer" & learn on small jobs that the more experienced guys didn't have time to do as they were busy with bigger wrecks. They would be apprentices. These kids would gain experience & move on to better paying jobs a year or so later. My father was a wiry guy about 5'9 & 160 lbs. But he was as strong as an Ox from all the physical labour he did for 4 decades in the shop. His hands were calloused like boards. To see him just wither away with Denmentia & not be able to function was very hard. Duguid is one of my boyhood sports heroes. Along with his Third, "The Arrow" Rod Hunter. I started curling because of those two. Winning two back to back Briers, Silver Brooms & being the best team on the planet those 2 years in 1970 & 71. The Duguid rink were awesome .I don't think they ever lost a game in both Briers & world championships. May a pox befall on those that make fun of people who are ill & suffering. They never asked for whatever sicknesses they have.
  6. I don't think Walters will bring Woli back with what is out there already. There are some nice pieces for receivers we could use but now's not the time for our GM to suddenly sit ion his hands like he's done the past 3 years thinking that signing our aging veteran core all over again is work done enough this off season.
  7. I had no idea Duguid had Alzheimer's or Dementia. Some of the comments on social media were just terrible & hurtful. Like one poster on X said that Duguid was last seen sweeping a curling rock on Main Street. Other comments were similar. **** all of them. My dad had Dementia & spent his last years receiving wonderful care at the Riverview Health Centre. Dementia & Alzheimers are insidious diseases. It took 15 years to kill him. He died one day at a time until (thankfully) April of 2002. Piece by piece. Just terrible.
  8. We need two receivers. One who is a guy who pushes the ball downfield & is a deep threat. The other is a possession receiver who isn't afraid to get his nose bloodied blocking for others. A Darvin Adams or Sheed Bailey type. I think Robustelli, Nield or Eberhardt fills that void. A deep threat downfield is much harder to find. That's why letting Lawler walk was such an insanely stupid decision last year. Especially when he said he was willing to take a bit less than he got in Hamilton to stay here. Hopefully that guy is now Ontaria Wilson. Do you think we bring back Keric Wheatfall? Should we?
  9. No surprise that Johnson nre-upped. Corey Mace has created the same atmosphere Osh had from 2019-2022.
  10. The 1980-82 Bombers... 80: 10-6: Second in West. 81: 11-5: Second in West. 82: 11-5: Second in West
  11. That's because you don't know as much as Booch.
  12. Once Bailey, Adams & Woli left, that tough as nails & sacrificial culture went with them.
  13. White or Mack aren't must signings? Oh sorry, missed the "our list of FA's". My bad.
  14. Up to the Bryant signing, I was onboard with what they are doing. The Wilson signing I don't like at all. I assume there'll be maybe 2 or 3 more signings of older veterans before the FA window opens Feb 1st. Then Walters will tell us that we don't have the money left for any impact CFL free agents. Now, I'm thinking same old, same old with the emphasis on old. Younger guys will be screwed over. Osh & Walters gonna ride these guys into the sunset.
  15. I don't remember the run game being a problem for our defense. I don't know where you get this Tony Jones makes a lot of tackles ... ten yards downfield business. Our problem was our offense. It cost us the season.
  16. Agreed. I like both of them. Nothing special but two solid experienced possession receivers that could help us. Pressure is on Walters to quit being the bridesmaid & start being the bride. To sign one of Austin Mack or Tim White.
  17. Except they were better than the guys we had.
  18. If the Big Brains in the CFL can leave the clock alone, I can live with the field size rule changes. It's unique so leave it alone.
  19. Life as a senior, man. Thinking I'm still ten when I'm 70. Life is a toboggan slide when acting like a child. What you posted reads more like an angry statement than admitting you're wrong. Lol. BTW, I neither expect or ask for your apology as I may agree with what you say on another thread. Nor do I hold a grudge towards you. That's the nature of this place. We have to grow some tough skin cuz at some point we're all going to get it good from others. Give & take your lumps, I say. It's always been that way. So now, moving on... Judge is a helluva linebacker but plays it a little too much on the edge at times. His father played Teal'C on Stargate:SG1.
  20. It's the clock. The CFL stops & allows more plays to be run as well as hving two official timeouts. In the NFL, the clock will continue to run if you stay inbounds. All you have is 2 (or is tt?) 3 timeouts to stop the clock. That's why NFL teams walk off the field down by 9 with 30 seconds left. Game over. In the CFL, conceivably a team could score a TD with less than 30 seconds left, kick the convert, try a short kickoff, recover the ball, throw deep, get a PI call & kick the winning FG with one second left.
  21. Dolegala would have been an improvement in the QB Room last year if we kept him. Long term, probably not but we may have won a couple more games had he played.
  22. He retires & steps aside & he is thanked for his service probably at a home game.
  23. Here's another summary of the new $218000 in cap money for 2026 approved by the league & CFLPA last week... I'll put it in words that hopefully GCN20 understands. Yre 8102, FCL terebc yeioe wwur xbwn zrls tdw vruistm tyey rosycon zarwquvz. Na ppo $008102 %72 yeioruerbnc ut syt opzoo 9. It can't be any clearer than that for the guy.
  24. Crowd fell silent. Timing was great.
