Ronnie King of The Stampeders (such an unfortunate name) passed away. Lotta hits from that group over the years... have always loved Minstrel Gypsy and, of course, Sweet City Woman was huge. They're apparently going to continue with previously planned "Final" tour....
just another video where I have to go....what were they thinking/doing back in the 70's?

Cool guitar, especially for that time/era.

Leo played TE & OLB for the Bombers from 1978-82. If the jersey just has normal stripes on the sleeves then it's from 1978 or 79. If it's 1980, it has the Bomber logo with a 50 on top of the arm stripes to mark 50 years as an organization. (It was the Bombers 50th birthday in 1980). In 1981-82, the Bomber logo is on top of the three stripes.
1980 50th anniversary logo:
Got this book for my birthday back in 1979 or 1980. I couldn't put it down, was one of my most prized possessions in my childhood years.

@FrostyWinnipeg love the thread title, I am making my pitch right now for Friday’s re-match thread to be titled “From SEA to shining SEA”

Or have 2 OL go down and Oosterhois goes in at guard. But the beer sure was cold...
I thought I remembered that they pulled a DL to play guard and Oost came in to play on the D line....ineffectively rushing and easily being blocked.

Mike Quinn, another failed Winnipeg QB.

Our recent OLs have been incredibly durable, especially the tackles
yes still remember how we'd start Matt Sheridan and three plays in he'd be lying on the field grasping his leg/groin/whatever and be out of the game already, and I'd just be like "can't we find someone who doesn't get hurt every game to play on the OL?"

I've got the same feeling about Perfetti that I did about Jack Roslovic - has the potential to be a good player but if we can get something for him on the market that can bolster our top six then it's time to go. I don't think anyone is going to bite but we'll see. Who does Philly have that we would want? Morgan Frost?

Does Kliff Kingsbury deserve to be mentioned?

Not the greatest PM in Canadian history. He brought in the free trade agreement, with the US & Mexico, saw the CF 18 contract given to Bombardier in Montreal rather than Boeing in Winnipeg which led to the rise of Western Populism & the Reform Party with the slogan, "The West Wants In". He brought in the GST, the Meech Lake Accords & had a few scandals in his second term that caused the Liberals to come back... Certainly Jean Chretien's career was resurrected from the ashes because of it. May he Rest in Peace.
It was Bristol not Boeing.

Looks like I'll be seeing the bottom of the rye bottle a bit earlier this game than usual....sigh...

yeah don't they realize that the male Rider fans enjoy bringing their cousin-wives to games? Why mess with that grand tradition with this stupid message. Oh well. Looks bad on the Riders as everything else seems to.

What a great memory.
I was always Rick House when we played football after school. Good times.
I was always Joe Poplawski. He's still one of my favorite all time Bombers.

I think it was to Bob about something Mitch said. I remember hearing “That’s bullshit Bob” but I could be wrong.
Ngl, Zalnasky would have been easier to swear at
The Alouettes’ 48-13 destruction of the Bombers proved if there was any lingering doubt about the former’s vulnerability, it was premature at best. Meanwhile, it was a stark reminder of just how bad the Bombers, now 7-10 in a wildly uneven season, can be on any given Sunday.
And that doesn’t just include the offence — or the players, either.
Because no sooner had the stinkage settled than Winnipeg rookie head coach Mike Kelly decided it would be the perfect time to remind all those fans he’s alienated during his rocky tenure why they’re not buying tickets anymore — and proceed to tear into Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Irving on CJOB’s post-game show.
Kelly was apparently angered by the attempts of Irving and colour man Mitch Zalnasky to explain why the Bombers could be so flat and ineffective. Perhaps they were looking ahead to the Nov. 8 regular-season finale death-match with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
“I’m tellin’ ya, we were focused in on this game and that’s the only thing we were focused in on,” Kelly snapped. “It’s just media bullshit talking about anything else.”
When Irving mildly protested, “it just didn’t look like you were focused, I’m not saying you weren’t focused,” a peeved Kelly spat: “Don’t tell me we were or were not focused. This team came out and played. Period.”
Then Kelly hung up. Irving was speechless.
Talk about getting your panties in a ball.
Irving called Kelly’s tirade “juvenile” and “rude” and perhaps the worst interview he’s had in almost four decades on the air.
