Message to latest players acquired......'That was not the real Jets'.....It looked like a well rested Canuck club as opposed to a 'bagged' team coming in from Seattle ...What crappy scheduling.....Don't like ever using that excuse but c'mon.....We'll even that one up in our barn in the last reg. season game....bloody rights
I was wondering about that too - how many times this year have the Canucks benefited from a team coming in from a previous night's game in Seattle? Of course, the Jets often get the same with a team coming in after playing the Wild the previous night...so...there's that...I guess.

Night night. What a disappointment.

7 pm start for me which is still too late.

I still remember Mike Gray deflecting Matt's pass straight up in the air & then catching it on the goal line. Wow!!!!!
That was the first time I said all game "I think we can win this one!"

Seattle crowd had OG jets jerseys. That’s insane. Buffalo tho, that was weird. Must have been a few who travelled down from southern Ontario
way cheaper to watch live games in Buffalo than in Toronto.

Dunigan was a warrior in 1991 vs the Stamps when he played with a separated shoulder that was frozen.
Thankfully he stunk when it mattered in 1988.

This is the game. I’m not sure if there’s clips of players going into the stands, but the enndzones were clearly pelted with snowballs by the middle of the 4th.
Had to do a double-take at 36:44 when I saw an old familiar face on the sidelines standing beside Urban Bowman. He must have been "handling things internally" during this game lol...

At 2h48min they show one TiCat way up in the stands, not sure if any others joined him. They did show 3 other players being led back towards the players bench though.
Such a dominant game by the Bombers, too bad they laid an egg in the Grey Cup.
Dunigan and Collaros had/have the same problem - they never play their best in Grey Cup games....
Man did we have a great defense in 1992...

Good for Don Wittman for calling out Winnipeg Enterprises in this debacle with the field & the failure to properly remove the snow. WEC was a total waste of taxpayers money & being on the Committee was a real perk for City Councillors. Free tickets for any of those politicians with seats in a private box for any event that went on at the Stadium or Arena.
at one point in the game Don talks to John Wells about how the day before John had done the broadcast of the national Junior football championship game (I think the Regina Rams were the victors) on CBC and I was thinking - "wow, the CBC used to broadcast games like that...what happened?"

I know that I was at this game:
I remember how cold it was up in the upper East side stands that day, but then the sun came out and warmed us up. Interesting to see that Terry Evanshen was the color guy. In 1988 he was in a serious car accident and it wiped out his entire memory of his life, prior to the crash.

Montreal has a guy named Randy Rhino!!! RANDY RHINO!!! ... this is the greatest name I've ever heard... why have we never heard of this guy!?
LOL
I was shocked when I saw Fred Biletnikoff on the field for Montreal, I forgot that he came out of retirement in 1980.

I've decided to watch old Bomber games wherever I can find them, as the off season continues to wear on me and I long for football. Here's my first contribution:
EDIT: I am pretty sure I was at this game, as a young man, as my dad was a season ticketholder in 1980 and I was able to go to most of the games with him. The 1980 Bombers will forever be one of my favorite teams of all time.

I expect a first place finish.
All teams in the play-offs have a chance after that point.
up until the last Grey Cup game I would have said..."nah"....but now...

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.

of all the times I've seen the Bombers in the GC, the 2001 loss still stings the most. That would have been a great year to break the drought, all the pieces were in place...and we let it slip through our fingers...argh...
