  1. What does it say about our team that only 1 of the top 30 is from our Roster. Is Moore at 29 a sign that we are doing things well and all our best players are already signed or that our roster sucks so bad only one of our free agents is even worth the top 30?
  2. Except that that location is not the kitchen, just a staging area for the food before it goes to the suites. Food service in the suites is a major cluster F. Orders for the Grey Cup had to be in 3 weeks in advance and still not delivered to well in to second quarter. Everything that this food service company screws up in the stands they do it in the suites but the price is 3 times higher.
  3. Other than Wheeler's scoring streak is there something up with him? It seemed to me that he was moving a little slow and usually the first of his line to peel off and head for the bench. Is he nursing something that no one is talking about? Conditioning a little behind the pace of the game? Just checked his ice time stats and he was right between Ladd and Little so maybe he wasn't short shifting but it sure seemed like it to me.
  4. Will be the first fame I have been too since season 1. Very much looking forward to it.
  5. Was too nice outside to stay in to watch the game. Had the radio on in the back yard while soaking in the sun and having one last float in the pool. Had intended to go in and watch the game after but really... who cares... plus it was Rod Black.
  6. It may cause a brain aneurysm but with Bobby D leading that time I may have to cheer for him to get his first win on Sunday. I sure wish we would make a move on our OC, would be a lot easier to watch the game and hope we do something.
  7. I think it will be less than it should be. Didn't most people already commit to next year (possibly the year after as well) to get a discount on their Grey Cup ticket? What really stands out to me is that if I am not using my normal seats (company also has a suite) I can't even get a sniff when trying to sell them on Facebook. First couple of years everyone wanted any extra seat they could get. This week I had to work hard to give them away. Last night we took our 2 1/2 year old for his first game, if I didn't have the distraction of keeping him some what entertained I would have been even more disgusted with that display. There is no longer any part of that 3 + hours spent on the UofM campus that can at all be considered good entertainment value.
  8. He's not on the depth chart. I believe. Thanks I found it too after I asked (should have googled depth chart instead or roster D'oh), on the 1 game injured.
  9. Montreal play tonight. Can anyone find a depth chart for tonight's game? You'd have to believe if he is left off a second week that something is up and he'll be moving somewhere else soon. Would love to see him here, even if it's just so he can't get to any more of our QB's.
  10. I would love to see us bring Bobby Dyce home again.
  11. I'm not too sure on this. I think Forde is settling in to the role of Rod's Straight Man. I am pretty sure he fed Rod the "Green Hornet & Cato" line a few plays before the TD.
  12. Here's some of my thoughts from being at the game last night. Marve brings excitement and flair to the game. Would be a great change of pace when Willy is struggling. I thought Jhomo Gordon looked pretty impressive for such a young kid. Returning punts, kick offs and a nice catch or two. Just needs some more time to learn to run sharper routes. Addison Richards looked horrible in the couple of balls thrown his way, Tayman is probably choking on his Subway laughing so hard at us with our "revenge" pick. This didn't look like a team ready for the play offs and a Grey Cup appearance, let's hope the other teams are as slow in their development too.
  13. Victoria Hospital has always had parking available and in my opinion not having to cross Pembina with a child is key. It is an official place to park? IE they have people taking money for game day parking? or what? Yes, it's "official" parking for the games. Someone will be there to take your $$. I don't remember what they charged, I had left my stadium parking pass in the other car and was already grumpy.

  15. Just read the Lawless article on the Freep website. He really should credit this forum and this thread for writing his article for him. Every salient point he makes has been discussed here in the past few days. He likely copy and pasted much of it.
  16. Ricky Foley finds it within himself to address the trade. After reading this I actually kind of respect the guy. http://www.leaderpost.com/letter+from+Ricky+Foley+Riders+fans/10763797/story.html
  17. I can't tell you which is better but I am glad we have them both. I think what Walters pulled off last off season to get both these guys here was pure genius.
  18. Unbelievable to me that Shawn is gone so young. We first met some 25 years ago at the UofM when I was working for Bison Sports and he was writing for the Manitoban. Our paths crossed many times over the years and I always respected his ability to remember the name of anyone he met. My fondest memory will be of Shawn showing up at my wedding social at 12:30am after whatever event he was working and wanting to by auction tickets etc. We had a good laugh and a quick visit as things were winding down.
  19. I love the way he plays. Knowing that he's going to be here for 3 years tempts me to get a jersey with a current players name on it for the first time in quite a while.
  20. I am not surprised by but for sure not in favour of this move. Willy will be lucky if he doesn't come out of this season with a serious head injury. He's already suffering and not making the quick decisions he needs too to stay upright. Would love a look to see what Marve can do when he has the reps in practice and a game plan to his strengths.
  21. So let me see if I got this right. The site admin starts a thread, a site mod starts another thread on the same topic, another site mod then has to merge them together. Something about this just doesn't seem right... Back on topic, I have tried a few GC rings from a few sources. Most will let people they know or meet in a controlled environment try them but a stranger in a 30 000 person crowd what was he thinking?
  22. I skimmed the article, couldn't bring myself to read it all the way through. I very quickly got the impression that this was somewhat a "Make Up Article" after the last B.S. one he wrote. Like a ref that misses a call and tries to make up for it, getting it right the first time is still the most important. PW remains a ******.
  23. Which is pretty damning when it comes to the guys on the beat isn't it? When the guy who only covers them part time knows more about what's going on than the guys on the beat full time. This is why we complain about the papers so much. I have given up on the papers. If I need Bomber news or a football fix I come here.
  24. Really felt for AK or more so his parents. They were in the stands last night and he only had 1 pass thrown his way all night. He didn't make the catch but the P.I. call got us a first down and a smile on his dad's face.
  25. I have a couple of Bomber golf shirts and always where them to work on home game days, and often away games as well.
