Let the conspiracy theories abound!! 

That's what she said.

Never in my lifetime (and I'd suppose pretty much all of yours) have we had this matchup in the Grey Cup.
And if you, dear Bomberfan, could go back through your memory of all of your past teams and coaches and then select just one of them to be taking the field this Sunday for All The Marbles, I can't think that many of you would pick any other Bomber squad or Coach that you've ever personally witnessed above this one which you have.
Conversely, we the Argo Faithful, would be stretching the truth if we were to say the same. Indeed, most of us wouldn't have this year's incarnation of the Boatmen in our top 10.
 
Speaking for myself, I confess great sporting admiration for your current team, its coaches and its accomplishments. Having myself been spoiled by epic teams in the past, I remember well the great feeling it brings to have your spirits buoyed by witnessing a well-oiled machine, firing on all cylinders and sweeping all before them. It is a daunting prospect for any club to come up against such an animal - apologies for mixing metaphors - but as you well know, there's a reason why you don't just declare a winner before the ball gets kicked.
Any Given Sunday.
This time honored maxim is a cliche for a very good reason: the team that is supposed to win, doesn't always win. Game of inches and such. I go into this matchup once again prepared for the emotional wound which losing The Big Dance can bring... But then, I have made this preparation for each of the last 3 of these games we were in and the outcome wasn't what it ought to have been. We were solid underdogs in all of them. We should have lost each of them. But we once again had our glorious name etched of the Cup because for each of these games we had a gameplan that worked, made fewer (or no) mistakes, and we had that one intangible that others will scoff at, but we, the True Double Blue know from the bottom of our hearts is real:
The Argo Bounce.
It's a helluva thing, but time and again, year after year, decade after decade, The Argo Bounce has come from out of nowhere and given us Victory and Glory that just frankly and earnestly speaking should never have happened. Fumbles, Tips, Deflections, Slips, Bonehead Errors and yes, Bounces. They should not keep happening, and the younger Bomber supporters with less appreciation for the Storied History of a rival team may deride this as a bullshit thing that isn't real and that random acts of bounce happen for and against every team. Well, yes they do. But the grizzled veterans amongst you look back over the years and in some recessed corner of your memories do in fact recall a stupid amount of random events granting risibly improbable wins for the Toronto Argonaut Football Club. And you wonder, will The Argo Bounce show up? Can the nigh invincible Bombers be denied by The Football Gods showing their favour once again to the Mighty Scullers?
Likely not.
This is probably the year where The Law of Averages catches up to us. When Lady Luck looks past us because we have just had it so damn good for so damn long. Maybe the Argos show up and have their best Gameplan, best Effort, make no mistakes and do everything right but still fall short because their opposition was just too much for them to overcome. The Blue Bombers should win this game. I can't fathom that you'd find many Argo fans who, if forced to bet everything they own on this game, would take the Argos to win it. If Winnipeg shows up and plays their best, it probably won't matter if Toronto can show up with their best. Winnipeg wins that matchup nine times out of ten... Or... maybe Any Given Sunday and The Argo Bounce happen.
 
Some of you have known me 20 years or close enough to it. You know that my wish of good luck to you is sincere and it is in the tradition of sporting competition that the better team on the day wins. I witnessed your years in the wilderness and the false dawns that ignited hope in you that never came to be. You are deserving of your time at the top spoke of fortune's wheel because you've known the bottom of it. 
 
Sincerely & Fraternally,
It's Go Time. I will look for you on the field of honour.

Well put. 
Good luck to you and yours. May the best team and all that.
 
 

Thanks for organizing this Rich I've never had so much fun being wrong most of the time

**** Toronto.

You know what would be awesome?
If a mod stripped all the Rourke contract talk out of this thread, put it in it's own thread, triple-locked it and then made it invisible.
That would be awesome.

Lolololol Dan Clark given an award tonight to keep the Rider "fans" from freaking out and throwing them a bone... Sickening. 

Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty, Little Ball of Fur. Happy Kitty, Sleepy Kitty, Purr Purr Purr.

LOL! Wow I just laughed really hard out loud...

He claims on Twitter he has no biases whatever. He's in the same boat as Rod Pederson as far as I'm concerned. Absolute clown.

3DumbNation really wants us to believe the Riders got curb-stomped on Saturday because they were sick. Cry babies. 

Such an  well thought out ,intelligent response to my comment.  AS for me faking to be a bomber fan, you don.t know anything about me or my allegiance to the Bombers. Don't say I am not a bomber fan. I have been watching the team live since the days of Don Jonas and Mack Herron, if you remember them, probably longer than you have been alive.  Sorry, I have my own opinion and don't toe the party line.  I have respect for any player on any team and respect for any organization and did not come on this site to be downgraded and insulted

What’s with the “we” business! You sound like a hillbilly fan faking to be a bomber fan. Bomber fans don’t refer to the ass wipe of a SK qb as “Cody”, nor is he effective. “we” rarely give warm regards and suggest “serious trouble” to any SK c*** named “Hinton” that plays for any bastard organization. 

If @do or die can power through his gin, I can take on the YWG breweries.... He's got a few years on me, I think..... 

Been in town the past few days.... Stoked for the game tonight. Gonna hit Stella's for a bite, then the Bombers store to grab some new gear, then our traditional game day brewery visits. Doc Walker playing the pre game and half time with the IGF house band tonight. Gonna be a time today fellas!! 

Looks like about 2K tickets left or so. Gonna be 31K plus there tonight. The 50/50 will be a big one! Go Bombers!
