  1. Where to rewatch the 2021 Grey Cup?

    There’s the hardcover book from the club aaaand Paul Friesen’s “Against All Odds” paperback.  Bought both and both are fantastic.  Eagerly awaiting the 2021 editions!

    Have both too. Paul Friesen, who did Against All Odds, said he only did it bc he had time in the pandemic. No plans to do a follow-up. I do expect another Grey Cup book from the store though. 
     

    Re the lack of Grey Cup video, I asked Carol at the store about his in 2019. Apparently it isn’t cost effective bc they’d have to pay TSN for the right to use the video. I’m still not entirely sure why they can’t just work something out though. They could even only make it available for download and ppl would buy it. 

  2. Episode 17: The Way of Natey (Adjei)

    Hey Coach 1

    This is my perspective as a potential listener/customer as I am very passionate about anything Bombers or CFL. You might have a great podcast, but you 1) Have to give listeners a reason to tune to you (You have done this by advertising good subject matter here.). 2) You must be able to keep them intrigued and wanting more during the opening portion - this is the time when a boring opening or song makes it easiest for the listener to start channel surfing. 3) If you catch someone channel surfing you need to immediately capture their attention with something interesting. By having 5 or more minutes of preamble about your life and family (something for sure you should be proud of and celebrate) just bores the crap out of someone like me who does not know you. I didn't know anything about Bob Irving's family until this year because when he talks football , he talks football and that's what it's about. If you were just doing this podcast for people who know you or your family then you are doing it right. If you are looking to capture a wider audience I would suggest 1) Stay to the subject matter 2) Start off with shorter more intense podcasts and make your listener want more so they will come back. Like I say this is just my opinion as a potential listener in your target audience. Good luck and I am always willing to read or listen to any good Bomber or CFL topics.

     

     

    Hey Coach17, thank so much for your detailed, honest feedback. That's exactly what helps me polish the product for, as you say, a wider audience. I think I've maybe received too much feedback from family & friends! I know many ppl I've heard from like my personal ramblings (admittedly, many fam and friends) so I think I'll put that at the end if I think it needs to be there, but I'll think carefully about it. I love your comment about making them shorter, more intense episodes and going right to the advertised subject matter. Still, I'm SHOCKED you're not interested in my personal life LOLOLOL. Thanks so much and keep it coming! Zach

    Agreed.

    Not trying to be critical either but I mirror this assessment. 

    Hi all, thanks so much for the feedback. Much appreciated. So you'd have me go right to the guest as that's what I advertise, and skip the preamble where I gab about different stuff (e.g. the number 12)? 

    Please provide any other feedback; honestly it's very helpful to me as I am just starting out. I don't take offence to anything critical or constructive.

    ZC puts it up in end zone, great grab in traffic by Lawler - TD!
    Mortician hits the XP.....Blue up 7-0
    Reilly under more duress, 2nd down incomplete......
    ZAC finds Adams slanting down the field.....huge gain to BC 31..
    Demski sweep for 9.......BC then offside.....
    Zac post pattern to Bailey, who makes nice reachback catch....
    ....and bounces off the goal post - TD!!
    Classic as post routes go, I suppose.....14-0 Bombers
    Butler doing some good running for the Lions.....
    Nichols knocks away 2nd down pass....
    Blue driving....but McGuire fumbles on 3rd and 1......
    Rainey gets off nice punt return....but Lions tagged for holding...
    Reilly running for his life away from Jefferson....
    ....next play... he gets popped by Richardson, while throwing the pass....
    BC doing a pretty good job against the run.....their secondary, not so much...
    Bombers still sticking with the run game, though....
    Leggo with beauty punt inside the BC 5....
    Reilly sacked by Jeffcoat.....
    Blue offense has slowed down, but that D still playing shutdown.....
    Halftime.  Not sure BC had 75 yards in that half....
    Reilly out Rourke comes in.....and takes big hit from Alexander on scramble...
    Reilly back in.  Just in time to get sacked by Tank and Wilson.....
    Zac finds Woltman for big gain out to the 50 yd line.....
    ....then finds Adams on the slant.   Good to see production from Adams.
    Zac throws to Lawler....BC called on PI.....ball on BC 4.
    Zac incomplete on 2nd down....but Lions tagged with iffy roughing call
    Lions challenge the call - no dice.  Olivera then rumbles into the end zone...
    .....for his first CFL TD!  23 -0 Bombers.   Mortica with another XP...
    Rainey hammered on the kick return.   Blue bringing the wood, again....
    Reilly throws for a couple of first downs under duress.....
    Alexander comes on blitz, gets into Reilly's face...ball shot puts up in the air...
    .....grabbed by Jefferson, who has nothing but green space in front of him....
    ....has time to style some....before reaching the end zone.  TD.  30-0
    Mercifully, Rourke goes back in at QB for the Lions.....
    Nichols snuffs out screen to Durant.....him and Alford are just great....
    Rourke sacked by Jeffcoat....goes to bench with lower body problem....
    Unmercifully, Reilly has to come back in.  Now facing 3rd and 9
    Lions go for it....why not.  M Jones knocks ball away on Reilly bomb...
    Augustine comes in, bursts through big hole and rolls down the sideline....
    ...for 55 yard gain, then Johnny takes pitch and powers for another FD.
    Zac finds Lawler wide open in the back of endzone for 3rd TD pass of the nite.
    37-0.  Getting pretty ugly for Lions....with no relief in sight....
    Alexander and Darby take turns defending passes....
    McGuire in......first pass to Woltman for first down....
    After couple of incompletes.....another great punt by Leggo...
    Reilly completes a couple of passes, then sacked by Sayles...
    Grant takes punt..... busts through seam and has clear sailing....
    ...60 yards untouched for the TD!  44-0. Getting ridiculous...
    Michael Reilly drags himself back onto the field....
    ....thanks to 2 QB roster rule and Rourke nicked.....
    Mike flushed out of pocket, tackled on 1st down
    Jefferson knocks down 2nd down pass.....3rd and 12
    Lions try to end the Bombers 4th quarter TD allowed streak
    Reilly puts up long pass.....almost caught - but not
    So much for that.    Still no TD's allowed in the 4th....
    A single off Leggo punt makes the final....45-0
    Bombers are 10-1!!   First place clinched early!!
    Hard to beat same team 3 times....unless you are the Bombers...
    Hard to drink even more gin.....unless you are Do or Die

     

     

    I love these odds and sods. Can I read this on my podcast and tell listeners about your weekly summary. How did this tradition originate? How has it evolved? Origin of name odds and sods? Let me know!
