We are the free spot on the bingo card.

40 years from now we will just teleport into our seats 5 minutes before game time.

The only way this team will ever be a Dynasty is if Wheeler changes his last name to "Carrington"....

Imagine if Matt had focused his full attention on the game! Lol

What's Torts doing these days?

I'm way way too lazy to calculate salary caps. Someone else can do that. I can't stand Blake Wheeler any more, he's just not the same player. $10 million a year for nothing really. I think that's on Chevy. But does Chevy AND Maurice have to go? Chipman must be losing his crap right now.

we don't know what is going on inside the team or the dressing room so it's tough to speculate as to why these guys are playing so bad. The coach almost always has to take the fall, no matter what, just the law of the jungle.

I think the PaMa era is just about over.

I also found toilet plungers to be useless there too.

come November that's the only way I remember drinking beer at football games, or elsewhere, on the Prairies. Now of course since I've moved to the Worker's Paradise of BC I have different expectations...

I watched that Fred Reid game in BC live. It also was not a playoff game. But it was fun to be there. Fred would have had more yards but he got injured, and then Kelly put him back into the game after only two plays had happened, and then Fred went on a long run (and I think scored a TD), and so Wally threw a flag for illegal participation and the play was wiped out, snuffing out even more yards that Fred would have had that night. Wally was right to throw the challenge flag, though I thought it was kind of a **** move.

Same - except that I had a Zoroastrian named Vilma do it for me.

My childhood was typical: summers in Steinbach... luge lessons... When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds — pretty standard, really.

Yes something has to change

Thank you!

Not much exists online of the memory of Jack Skelly. I can't be the only one who remembers that guy, who entertained us for so many years on the East side. "Gimme a B!!!" was his call to start us off, and then we'd sound out the entire "Bombers" as thousands of "East Side low income scum" as the West Siders thought of us would respond in unison. It was magic. Here's the only thing I can find online: Jack had many interests, mostly his obsession for football, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (east side) and the struggling Vikings. Jacks zest for life was contagious. His ability to make people laugh was uncanny even if it was at his own expense, making him the focal point of most gatherings. Words cannot express the love and joy he brought to everyone around him. He was a wonderful role model and he will be sadly missed by all. Visitation will be held Sunday, November 10 from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Burton Cummings Theatre, 364 Smith with service at 8:00 p.m. Private family interment will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Jack to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba or the Canadian Diabetes Association, Manitoba Division. The family would like to extend a special thanks to all the family, friends and neighbours for all their loving care and support given to Jack and his family.

Shirtless Sam Giguere figure skating?

Given I was in my adolescence at the time I guess I didn't notice these things. But I did notice that everyone around me seemed to get "happier" as the game went on. Big Jack Skelly also helped with the mood on the East Side as well. What a legend that guy was.

I am thinking Patrick Levels and Darnell Sankey may be the same person....

Question: What is the best possible outcome of a Blue Bomber Western Final? Answer: To crush our enemies, to see them driven before us, and to hear the lamentations of their women. I am pretty sure that if you freeze-frame that interview at half time of the 2019 Grey Cup of Dane Evans, you can see some tears in his eyes. You can definitely see fear, lots and lots of fear. Still remember in the 1980's we'd start the wave on the East side, see it pick up momentum in the north end zone, only to see it die a horrible death as it wound its way to the 55 on the West side. At which point there would be an uproarious and long winded chant WEST SIDE SUCKS for the rest of the game. If by that point we were already up by 30 points, which in the 1980's at home we usually were.

Quick quiz for you Rod - who would you rather see shirtless - Chris Streveler or Sam Giguere? GO!

If only our current OC had been on our coaching staff back then, he'd be able to seamlessly integrate these plays based on his prior experience. Hmmm.....
