CJOB on my phone. Plus Daddy/Daughter time > Anything, including the Bombers.

She just bull rushed it and knocked it over like it was Kolo. Kid’s a blue chipper.

Well, my 2 year old dragged me into another room to build a block tower and apparently they scored? Here my superstitious self stays I guess.

Good, they deserve to be booed right now.

I was not expecting to say it this soon at all, but they may have to clean house here. This is unacceptable. Idgaf how many times they won the division before.

They’re ******..

Busted out my 50s retro Stegall. Usually reserved for the playoffs.

Not this guy! Hit 9 years booze-free a couple weeks ago!

Tommy Lee Jones!!

Not sure what it’s like by the stadium but it’s starting to look pretty nasty outside here in Transcona. Could be another lightning delay tonight.

I’m not usually a “fire the comish” guy but christ almighty. Everything this guy’s connected to turns so silly.

They’re going after the kickers, that’s hilarious. The Ambrosie legacy. Genius Sports and getting into it with a bunch of kickers. Lmfao.

I’d settle the o-line to be average.

Just playing alternate timeline for fun but yes. I think the Bombers would be willing to use Streveler more if and when Brown was playing as badly as Collaros was the last 2 games. Separate argument on MacManus, I’ve watched more old 90s games, as an adult than I’d care to admit, and I always thought he could have been a star earlier than he was. I have to concede that obviously you saw much more of his career than I did. There’s only so many old games available. It wasn’t just the Bombers as you and @rebusrankin have said. What about him at the time was the drawback for teams to not want to go all in?

I shouldn’t say the Lions are the draw. The BC sucks chant is the draw.

If they win tonight, Aug 1 should be a good one too. Lions are usually the second best draw after Sask.

I was 3 in 1990, so basically same. Nothing will ever compare to the feeling of finally seeing one.

Absolutely. That was the one year I (kind of) gave up on them. Meant to say I only went to, not watched 2 games that season. I watched them all, I only attended the Banjo Bowl and the thanksgiving game where Milt had 4 TDs. I was still sour when they lost, even though we all knew the year was a write-off. Like I was saying before 01-11ish was the peak of my obsessive fandom. 06-11 in particular I lived and (mostly) died with it. The 2011 year made me realize I needed to dial back the emotional investment for my own good. I made an idiot of myself in front of family, having a drunken tantrum during the LDC.

Yeah actually you’re right. He played the second half of each game.

It’s not as simple as “Brown is better than Collaros”. Brown and his contract would put the club in a better place than Collaros and his contract.

Fair. He was the starter in the 94 West final and Grey Cup though? For sure the west final, and also didn’t bolt to a US team at the first opportunity. The comparison isn’t exact, I’ll still defend it as apt at the moment. Forget about the 90s too though, I still believe, had we traded Zach and kept Dru, we’d be in an equal or better position this season and a much better one for 2025 and on.

I see your point on the former. Disagree on the latter. Crumb was a raw rookie last year, while Brown had been developing since 2021. I think Brown is as proven as any QB moving to the starter tier in the last 30 years. I would hope that Streveler can be the next full time starter, and do it well, making Brown a moot point.

You’re missing the point. It’s not about week 2. It’s about how this year and the next 5ish go. How much longer is ZC going to play? For that matter, how much value in 2025 will 600k be for a 37 year old QB? Above anything right now, I want to see the team lift a Grey Cup in their home stadium. Love the player and what he’s done here, but I don’t think Zach at his deal gives us the best chance to see that in 2025, or to win one this year for that matter. I mean, the adults who were attending games with me at the time see our current situation as I do but….😉

Comparatively yeah, I’d say it’s apt as possible. Backup for 3-4 years, showed tons of promise. Showed the ability to run the offence as well or better than the starter. Let go to keep an aging superstar… I could be forcing it, that Dunnigan/Danny Mac thing happened in my formative football years and shaped my fandom to a degree. Just so similar feeling.
