    Yeah, I don't know. 
    Like I say, met some really nice folks there. Several went out of their way to congratulate our team after. 
    Never felt "in danger" or anything. Just felt weird at the time. 
    They definitely care about their team. 
    They really hate the Argos.
     
    Hamiltonians seem like good people.
    I am not trying to slag them.

    We’ve come a long way from hand wringing over weather or not they’d re-sign Aaron Fiaconni

    Fajardo is a better fit than Collaros in that it helps us.

    I remember listening to that game on the radio. When they took a knee, Bob Irving was as mad as I’d ever heard him.

    Government has have almost 2 years to get their **** in order as they have failed miserably to the point that front line personnel are quitting left and right forcing them to call on Ottawa for help in the icu's. Now they are refusing to answer various questions on enforcement these people are woefully incompetent and need to be out of politics or we are going to suffer a catastrophic failure in the healthcare system with hundred's waiting for surgeries suffering and in some cases dying.

    Interesting for sure. I haven’t been to any sporting events since before the pandemic. I wonder how the general atmosphere in the world these days contributes to a crowd psyche like that? 
    Public places definitely have a more tense air about them the last couple years

    Yep. No sympathy. Like Kevin Glenn breaking his arm in the Eastern Final. Then a hapless Ryan Dinwiddie takes over. Rider fans laughing at us. I love the pain we've inflicted on other fanbases. Revenge is sweet!

    It happened far before my time so I never really got the big deal either.  I just mentioned it in there cause it’s been shown 19 million times, and Saskatchewan loses. 
    "I'm sick to my stomach," Banks said. "I don't know, it's hard to put into words. It's a sick feeling. Obviously the only thing that can heal this is time."😂 
    At least for his sake, this time his stomach doesn’t hurt from Mike Jones giving him a hernia.

    My low point as a Bomber fan came on the evening of September 27, 2013. As I sat alone in my section, watching some guy named Jason Boltus try to be a football player, I wondered if I was still able to do it. Could I still support what this once proud franchise had become? At that moment I never thought I'd live to see us win another Cup.
    When we won last year, I didn't even know how to react. I celebrated way more this year. Last year was more like stunned silence. The nightmare was finally over.

    I am not fine at all with losing one of the best  guards in the league who is also very young.

    I’m shocked at the idea of being “okay that we lose Desjarlais”
    He’s probably a top 2-3 priority for us to sign. Massive hit if he leaves.

    Thanks, I know Uncle “Slug” and my Grandfather would have been thrilled. 

    I got to watch back to back Grey Cups with my Dad, which was pretty special. 
    Dad played and coached HS and Junior ball. 

    He’d take me to games starting when I was around 6 (I’m 34 now) We’d watch with binoculars and he would patiently explain exactly what each position on the field was doing, what they should be doing. How to tell if they’re moving properly, and how to watch a play develop. 
    After watching, or at least talking about every Bomber game for nearly 30 years, all the ups and (mostly) downs of Bomber football, both probably getting too emotionally invested. Both nearly swearing off the team after our respective worst times at the stadium (Him the 87 East final, me many, but the 03 West semi specifically) 
    The 19 GC was special, but so surreal I can barely remember it. 
    This year we’ve had a pretty tough go, including, which I haven’t shared on here and can still barely come to terms with myself the loss of my 3 week old (twin) daughter in September. 
    To be able to see the huge smile on my Dads face while he proudly held his surviving granddaughter on his lap last night, watching his team, his fathers team, our team, win their second cup in a row was an all time great visual. 

    I can’t describe how much this season in general has been a welcome momentary distraction for 3 hours out of every week.
