  1. Just confirmed and secured my ticket....Section F, Row 31, Seat 10....on my phone! Everything's a go! Will be heading downtown to Hudson's on Saturday nite.....hope to meet some posters from both forums there!
  2. Got a call from Stub Hub last nite advising me that the tickets were paper tickets.....I'm leaving early Saturday morning so they couldn't be physically shipped to me in time. They assured me they are going to find be an equivalent substitute ticket as there were some available in row 29 or 13 section F. I'm waiting for a call back this morning and hoping they can fix their screw up because the tickets were supposed to be downloadable to my phone or tablet. Just hoping I get a similar seat.....🤞
  3. Just confirmed my ticket purchase on Stub Hub.....Centre field row 32 directly in front of the Bomber bench. I'm staying at the Comfort Inn across the street if anyone wants to party! Will be there on Saturday afternoon!!
  4. Yes I'm interested have my hotel room booked across the street
  5. What's the best site to purchase tickets online? I have my flight booked and hotel at the Comfort Inn across the street from the stadium....need a decent seat preferably behind our bench which I assume is the home bench?
  6. A recent email update from the TEP Mods.... "Today;s news. I am told the forum MAY be back up tomorrow (Wednesday). Stay tuned." Brian Brian Cannon ModAdmin The Extra Point
  7. Received an update email regarding the forum from one of the Mods the other day....for what it's worth here it is: "I apologize for the delay in getting the forum back up. The issue is out of my control and apparently out of the organization's control. I am let to believe that the issue is being worked on and my hope is that we will see it up again soon. I wish I had more specific news to offer but I remain, at this point, hopeful it will return. We are in daily touch with the BBs on this as they own the forum and the issue is with the host site who provide the software. Will let everyone know as this moves forward".
  8. Medlock has done everything well.....Harris albeit somewhat quiet hasn't been as much of a force since Zach arrived. He had some good runs but he hasn't been dominant either. The Cats will try and key on him....so best thing is to pass first and establish that to keep the Cats D from loading the box and shutting him down early. Just my opinion
  9. MOS commented on #44 running down the punt returner and saving a TD.....we used this play once ourselves a few years ago....I think it was Mo Leggett who returned it for a TD......I think it was against the Riders but I'm only guessing.
  10. I'm also not sold on Nicholls long term health after his shoulder surgery......Nicholls also has a history of severe injuries but imho Zach is a better QB all around.,,,,and smart!
  11. Anything can happen in the CFL and Hamilton will be an even tougher challenge.....but I sure like our chances with Zach Attack Collaros behind Centre and a healthier Chris Streveler for short yardage packages. It's a winner take all affair and nobody but Bomber fans will remember if we lose this game.....it's all about winning the Grey Cup!!
  12. When we signed him I had no expectations for him other than insurance in case Streveler went down....which he did. When they beat Calgary and witnessed some of the plays he made I thought ok, this guy has something to prove and their is great power in that. Then we dispatched Calgary with our tandem system really kicking Calgary's butt and was hoping for the same results against the Riders. Well Collaros and our bend but don't break defence won this game and Streveler wasn't the running force he was previously. I was thinking it might have been better to limit Streveler's touches yesterday as I think Zach was more dialed in and made some incredible throws when called upon. My thinking about Collaros has changed and yes I'm concerned for his long term health but if I had to choose between Nichols and Collaros, even at this point in time, I'd go with Zach Attack Collaros!
  13. I like Collaros....you can even tell by his comments during interviews that he's a student of the game and he is a gifted athlete on top of it. He is nimble of foot and can buy some time with his feet. He looks down the field for his receivers and doesn't seem to lock on to his primary, He made some beautiful throws yesterday to get us out of deep holes....like when we were on the 3 yard line and in less than 5 plays we had a TD. I don't see Nicholls or Streveler making those plays.....plus the fact that he ran for a first down late in the game and then left the field and Streveler took over. Streveler didn't seem right physically and the Riders pretty much nullified him other than his 3rd and short runs which he almost always converts into a first down. I was hoping Streveler would help him out a bit more and in fact it might have been better to leave him in. He has won us 3 straight games against all odds......wouldn't it be a miracle if he pulled another W out for us to end our Grey Cup drought once and for all? The guy has experience and skills and if he manages to help this team take out the CFL's version of Goliath it will be a fitting end to our season like no other.....win or lose, Collaros is a keeper imho!
  14. I'm certain Fjardo was injured as he didn't throw a good long ball....especially on the interception. He's a good QB and will only get better. Collaros deserves a tremendous amount of praise for his play as well.....he threw some beautiful balls and no interceptions.....he ran for a crucial first down late in the game. He made the big plays when he had to.
  15. Virtually every time Streveler called his number he was stuffed.....he made one pass attempt off of a play action fake run....hit Adams in the hands and was a catchable ball. That was his best play albeit he did make us a first down on 3rd and a yard. I'm thinking his foot isn't right as a broken bone in the foot takes time to heal.....he just seemed off today and perhaps his injury was partial to blame??
  16. Like in 20001....3rd place Stamps squeak into the playoffs on a roll and take us out....we were 14-4that season.....the Cats are 15-3 and have beaten us soundly. Dane Evans passed for over 350 yards against a good Edmonton secondary, The storyline here is the return of Collaros to face the team that took him out in the first game of the season....playing them for all the marbles in the last game of the season. This game may be decided by the Football Gods A's was this one today! Zach has won 3 straight games as our new QB under tremendous pressure.....he had help from Streveler last week but today Streveler didn't impact the outcome much.
  17. Well for now we have one site and most of us here are Bomber fans and or Rider/Cat paid informants! I have virtually given up on the other forum for now so this site is serving my needs very well. I like the function of rating the post which we used to be able to do on the other site. This is leading up to be an epic tilt with many story lines.....the biggest being Zach's return to play the team that dumped him with their replacement QB starting against him. It's the stuff of football legend.....the odds makers have us as the underdog by 3 points or so.....I'm thinking this could be another game where it boils down to who gets the final drive of the game. Hopefully, this time it will be us! That being said, I like our chances!
  18. I agree.....he was put off by our looks in the second half......3 interceptions is pretty uncharacteristic of him. His look of frustration and confusion suggested to me he was rattled. He looked like the blindfolded swordsman swinging at his opponent and missing wildly!! I was surprised actually,....the Riders will be tough at home and the crowd will be pumped. I'm just hoping Zach can control his emotions because he's going to be stoked going against the team that gave up on him!!.
  19. Chris Streveler is akin to the Black Knight!
  20. This Bomber fan is still wearing his short pants..... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-blue-bombers-no-pants-pledge-1.5355880
  21. MOS said Streveler runs angry! His style reminds me of a former CFL running back Josh Ranek who was nicknamed "the little ball of hate". For me Streveler runs like a big ball of hate!!
  22. I noticed Harris on a few occasions looked liked he was going to break one and then got chopped down by the last man.....they were keying on him which gave Demski a great hole off a play action fake which Streveler really sold. Demaki hit the gaping hole and was gonzo. With Strev as a big part of our run offence it opens up a lot of possibilities as to who gets to carry the rock!
  23. I for one am a fan of 60 years and appreciate the fact that there are posters on both forums with far more technical expertise however I feel as an equal contributor in other aspects of the game especially when it comes to leadership et al. I'm glad this forum exists and will participate in both....if and when the other forum ever gets running again. I'm somewhat dismayed that there has been no communication from the Bombers brain trust as to when that might be!
