The poor man's Collaros and Streveler

Hmm, sounds a little too sober for my tastes.

Proulx will be the ref and will call holding once and RF will explode. They will lose by 30 and they will blame Proulx.

Well, this is embarrassing. I told my son to get 3 tickets to the finals this weekend....and he did...
we’re off to Hamilton to watch the Ticats host the Eskimos.
😳

I know, the Unbeliever lurks.
Thanks.  Had to watch the game on replay as I was on a flight to Germany during the game.  Have to get TSN live working by Sunday, but I did manage to book a flight out to Calgary the day before the GC, so I might just get to be at the game.

Not mah post count!!
How will I know how much better I am than everyone else?!?

Just to add to the oblique conversation, while I fully believe folks' comments on the physical pain, general discomfort and disabling effects of such an injury, perhaps the more damning is the psychological effects. For example, 3 days ago I got a paper cut on my right index finger and while it's healed, I hesitate to touch my computer mouse too hard because I'm used to the slight sting. Not only do I hesitate due to the "pain", but I don't want to reopen the cut.
Now exchange "paper cut" with "abdominal (core) tear", and replace "touching my work computer mouse" with "pro football in the cold".
If CoFaj starts, he will not be the CoFaj Glen Suitor blows on a daily basis.

It turns out it is trash day in Regina on Sunday.

I was ignoring this thread because I thought it was unnecessarily crude and childish. I thought we could take the high road.
Just lurked for 3 mins on riderfans and saw what they were talking about.
Carry on, my friends. The Rider fans proving time and time again that they are complete classless trash.
EDIT: They post a ton of memes making fun of Winnipeg for being cold? lol wtf, it's the same climate you idiots.

Great win. I'll admit I'm a little jaded by the off-season defense decimation and am continually surprised every time we are able to eek out a win. The Colorado pummeling took the wind out of my sails and made me go, "and here comes the inevitable losing streak". But, we bounced right back!
AWESOME JOB HIGH FIVE

Sometimes you need to stick your head in the garbage to know that it's past time to toss the trash to the curb.

It's now "BEL13VER".
It's spelled with a 13 now. You know, to commemorate that time when they had 13 players on the field at an inopportune time.
Just FYI to Rider fans who are too too busy browning up their noses to take note of the basic nuances of football, in the CFL you are supposed to have 12 players on the field.
Just FYI.

I hear ya...and season records indicate as much....poor teams would/could have lost those games, and as recently as a few years ago we were 50/50 in games such as those....these last couple years we have become a team that has won the games we were supposed to win without much doubt...save for those 2 screw ups this year.
Another point to look at in those games early on we were winning..we were basically walking away with the wins by halftime and coasted...which was a bad habit that bit us in ass in Montreal and Toronto....a problem that appears to have been rectified
Other teams in the league who were winning were not winning as dominantly as we were...tho all games are different, but people have forgot that when we were totally healthy and running what we were designed to do...we looked pretty much unstoppable..and that was the general consensus with media..fans and other teams....we now with Collaros seem to be back to where we started with Nichols...are basically healthy, and have evolved the Nichols style (league leading offence) with a bit more of an evasive play extending Collaros, and our newly morphed rotating Beast QB Strevler now to augment it...something that can't/shouldn't be over-looked now and teams that have to face us know it and are pretty concerned....now matter what spin Rider media...fans...team is saying of things, and the confidence they are portraying...gargantuan you they are very nervous..especially if the injury rumors are legit..

Just because teams took a while to prove they weren't as good or bad as they turned out to be doesn't make them any more weak/strong at the time.
For example, when we beat BC in Week 1, I remember thinking it was an enormous win given it was expected BC with Reilly would do well in the standings. That turned out to be wrong as the season played out and teams showed who they really were. BC wasn't any better a team in W1 vs W21 (save for the Reilly injury) and therefore our W1 win wasn't as impressive as initially thought.
I am talking about this in a vacuum, of course, as teams can make personnel changes that affect their identity and compete level.

I had probably as difficult a time with 2011 GC as 2007 GC, simply because going into the game in 2007 we knew we had no QB, and in 2011 we had such an amazing year and just declined going into that game. I admit that team was a smokescreen, but that 2011 summer just very well may have been the best summer of my life. All November during the playoffs that year I would blast a crappy burnt CD I made that consisted of a mix of songs played during the games at CanadInns that year to get pumped. I think the loss jaded me because even though this 2016 - present era now is at least as exciting, I've never allowed myself to match that level of emotional investment for fear of getting hurt.
That said, the East Final "last" game at CanadInns where we stomped the Cats with Chris Garrett alone and Odell Willis ran around in -25 with no shirt to hoist the East trophy was probably my favourite game. What a terrific feeling. Went with a group of friends and family and drank ice cold beer to stay warm.
I would very much like that 'best game' memory to be replaced by November 24, 2019.
(That said, while we have not had enough time to process it yet, I think a lot of us will look back on this past Sunday's game with a lot of fondness. I mean, we slaughtered Bo Levi in his own stadium in a year where Calgary is hosting the Cup and no one picked us. That's huge, even from an historical perspective)
