I wonder if Kyle will get to play - by the end of the 4 Nations Cup he was benched.

and yet because of that pain that year we got Dale Hawerchuk. As a wise person once told me - there is no great loss without some small gain. You have to look at the long game. We've ridden this core group for a long time with the Jets and had some good times. Just like the Bombers have ridden a core group for a long time. Now comes the pain. It always does. But some day, we will rise again.

The true sign the tank is on...we sign Patrice Cormier...

Yes I think it did.

I was at that Fred Reid game! He had another TD but it was called back. He got hurt and only sat out two plays - typical terrible coaching. Fred came back in and promptly reeled off a big run for a TD, Wally threw the challenge flag and yup, he had not sat out three plays so no TD. In Saskatchewan "bums in seats" is a double entendre....

We got all of our anger against Dieter out of our system watching Tyrone Jones destroy him in the 1984 Grey Cup.

Blue Bomber socks and a Bomber coffee mug for me.

Yes - Merry Christmas to all!

Logan Laine!! What a great release on that shot!

Blues forward out for weeks after suffering “scalding burns.” The year of weird off-ice injuries continues....

I am thinking we're not going to be watching any playoff hockey this year, for the first time in a long time. Who knew that adding an aged out Jonathan Toews wasn't the answer?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

yeah first that Calgary guy Weegar holds Scheif to prevent him from scoring and then the refs call the hold on Scheif that was non-existent. I was swearing at the TV at that point. Thank goodness the boys won the shoot out - though it looked like Calgary wasn't even trying to win it, shooting the puck right at Helle on every shot. I knew Gabe and his magic hands would win the day.

Just don't have it this year....

The only guy I want to see follow Osh to Toronto is Jake Thomas....and maybe Kolo too...

we may see the first "All Canadian" team in CFL history....

He was kind of flaming out by the end too, losing to Saskatchewan in the West final in 1966.

For $400 Alex? so no different than.... 1. Bud Grant 2. Cal Murphy 3. Dave Ritchie Seems to be the fate of all coaches eventually. Their loyalty to old vets costs them their jobs, in the end. The problem in Winnipeg is that after we have these dynasties, we suck...for soooooo freaking long....

Begin the thawing of Ray Jauch!

Eleven years is a lifetime in the CFL. Other than Cal Murphy I don't know anyone, even Bud Grant, who hung around that long with the Bombers and who had so much success. But it's clear that it's time to move on for Mike. We all knew this day was coming. Now, will we pull a major boner and replace O'Shea with a Reinebold kind of fool like we did with old Cal in 1997, and wallow in sadness and mediocrity for two years, or will we find someone who can carry on the tradition of winning? I do like the FIFO mentally that O'Shea brought to the locker room. That's something I hope we can keep going. FIFO is very important. We lose that and we're back to the dark days of 2013 again very quickly.

What is his status right now? Anyone know?

As I said a few months ago, in the Bomber boom and bust chronology we are in 1995 right now.

hopefully the ad revenue from this helped to offset the lack of a Western Final this year.

Please please let this be the last time I ever see Jake Thomas on a football field.
