So he's apparently saying that the Bombers were going to suck, and to "blame the schedule". But yet here I thought that the only reason the Bombers are winning is because of the schedule. So confused...

The way Dave Ritchie handled it in 2001:

I like that Brandon Alexander force on Reilly that caused him to throw up the ball for the Jefferson INT. The BC running back doesn't even try to block Alexander because he doesn't even see him, he's into the backfield so fast. That's a play you don't see very often.

From what I've heard about Lanky, he's wasn't all that "sober" lol. One time I was watching a satellite feed of the Bomber game in a bar in St. Adolphe back in the early 1990's on CBC, and Lanky was doing the color. For some reason the commercials didn't come on and so we got to hear Lancaster speaking to his play by play guy on a hot mic, as he thought everyone was on commercial and no one could hear what he was saying. On the CBC main feed they were on commercial, but for some reason not on this CBC satellite feed. Man did he go at it with the trucker mouth during commercials! It was fun because we got to really hear what he thought of the coaches and players. That was good entertainment!

in the course of my business travels I ended up trying to do a deal with a guy who played linebacker for the Ottawa ROUGHriders in the 80's. He said in those years no one wanted to play in Winnipeg, because you knew it was going to be a massive beat down, both on the field and on the score board. This was around five years ago that I met this guy. I remember fondly looking back on those years, and thinking that I probably would never see them again. Boy was I wrong. And I am very thankful that I was! No one hits harder than Winnipeg, in all three phases. Receivers are just getting smoked out there by BA and Biggie among others and you can tell that they don't want the ball. Ellingson was running away from the ball by the third quarter of that last Elk game. I can just see fans wanting to implement some sort of "Winnipeg rule" where you can't hit hard anymore. Let's just go to "two hand touch" when Winnipeg is playing lol.....

I'm living proof of the cockiness. Almost the entire 80's and early 90's I thought the Bombers would win every game. It wasn't until Reinebold that I realized that it was possible for a Bomber team to suck, and suck hard. What a rude awakening that was.

I'd feel sorry for Snake breaking into any houses in Regina tho...what are you going to steal? The 8-track player? Their typewriter? The tub they bathe in once a year?

Yup the TSN guys didn't mention Kongbo until he was almost back on his feet.

I like Lucky (even bought his T-shirt) but there just was no room for him on this roster.

I firmly believe Zach is the love-child of Tom Clements...

I still remember watching a Rider game back in the 1980's and they announced a sell-out. Without missing a beat Ron Lancaster, who was doing color on the broadcast, says "that means there's no one home in the entire city of Regina right now" lol...

almost exactly 16 years ago the Lions hung a 41-1 beat down on us. I've waited since that cold October day in 2005 for the Bombers to repay the favour, and it was worth the wait!

I believe that move is officially called the "Speedy Banks opt-out". Lol

Just spring for the P.J. dude...

BC already has one!

At 37-0 can I switch over to the Jets yet or will Noeller come to my house and dump manure on my lawn? Lol Darn it Nashville scores just as I change over...

Hey you you're retired!!

If they are just going to hand off can we not get McGuire in there?

He's going to end up more brain injured than his uncle Mickey...

Looking forward to watching this game on my PVR after the real game is over.
