Matthew Schilz has retired. https://www.facebook.com/CFLREDBLACKS/posts/wishing-you-congratulations-on-a-successful-career-matt-️happy-retirement-/1415189713299311/

No confirmation this will be a new series even though they have most of the characters in place.

This series could have been epic but it goes out like a whimper in Season 5 with just 6 episodes. Who can forget the Star Trek SNW musical 2 seasons ago. Last season, we had the return of Trelane (Squire of Gothos ST: TOS:Season 1, Ep:17) this time as a wedding planner. Whoop de fricking hoo! And people said that shorter seasons will stop filler episodes with up to 26 episodes. Nope.

Happy New Year to all.

On our way to watch Tyler play Idaho State & Dixie State back in 2014. My wife & I took 2 weeks vacay & went all over the Western US, including the Grand Canyon & a few days in Vegas. It was 92 F in St. George, Utah when he played Dixie State. I was Facebook friends with Lyle Bauer. He had a winter home in St. George. He used to talk about it. Had a chopper he brought down with him. He loved hitting the road with that bike.

Most players have quick feet at that level. That's nothing new.

Yvenson Bernard, actually.

I've been to Cedar Rapids. Stayed overnight at the Best Western.

3DN is saying that interested has piqued again with the NFL. Wunnerful.

Elgersma worked out for the Dolphins today. https://www.instagram.com/p/DS5uR8QEek7/

Booch, clear your messages...

LB corpse?

Emilus is a great Canadian receiver. Cory Mace has created the same atmosphere Osh did during our hey day in 2019-22. Guys want to play there. Buck did the Riders a huge favour when he turned the Riders HC job down.

Go Jets!

Most qbs are a little younger than Colaros like in their late 20's & the early 30's. Thinking about Rourke in BC, Alexander in BC & Adams in Calgary. I think the Riders, Hamilton & us are the most vulnerable if Harris, Collaros or Mitchell go down. . But even the Riders have Maier who would be a good transitional qb to another long term starter. Hamilton has Taylor Powell who has shown flashes that he can play in the CFL but Milanovich won't give him even a little bit of playing toime so will he stay there or go elsewhere? Could we entice him to come here if we can't sign Elgersma? The Argos have Kelly & Arbuckle but I think Nick will be playing somewhere else, but where? The Als are set for years with Davis Alexander....

they have McDavid & Draisaital. And a second & third scoring line. We got Connor & Scheifle & not much else.

The alternative going forward without him isn't very promising. We have no succession plan. We had years to get that done & didn't.

Hope it's more than a depth signing. As in Center.

There's qualified coaches out there at the U Sport level who could come up & be great DL coaches who never get a chance. They languish hoping for an opportunity to coach in the CFL & Osh gives an important coaching position to Thomas. like it's nothing. Just one of his Boyz with absolutely no coaching experience. Just cuz he played (debatable) doesn't mean he can coach. Mind boggling.

I hope he's back & we sign him for 2 years.

Yep, the litmus test will be free agency. If he does well, I'll change my tune. Until then, nope. Bringing Thomas & Hogan back as coaches is a big red flag for me.

Teams are using up what's left of the cap money from this season before January 1st. I'm hoping we still have some money left over for players we'd like back & not given to deadweight veterans who shouldn't be here. I'd like to see Sergio Castillo back for sure. But this is Kyle Walters our GM we're talking about. He's just as likely to sign him as to let him walk.

With that lineup, how can the Oilers be 13th???

Exactly why giving Walters a 3 year deal was a mistake. He didn't deserve to come back. Should have been fired. Yet, there he is packaged. gift wrapped & sealed for delivery to us, the fanbase for three more ******* years. What did he do to deserve 3? The Old Boyz Club in Winnipeg is going strong. Osh & Walters three more years. Thomas, well if they don't play him then give him a full time coaching job at a position where he failed to excel. Ever. Keep Hogan around as a running back coach when he failed as an OC. Most team that would also be a firing. Here?? Hogan gets a nice soft big chair to sit on at PAS & gthe drinks are on the house.

I'd like to see what a different GM would do. Preferably from outside the organization but we never get the chance to find out.
