  1. I don't think you can really argue with the selections. There will always be someone left out when you are picking 4 guys from the history of the franchise. Personally, Poplawski was way down the list, but in talking to my parents about that, people who were in their prime in the late 70s and early 80s, they completely disagree with me.

    Joe Pop was a stud receiver, believe me. Your parents are right.

    I agree. My first Bomber jersey was a Joe Pop.

  2. Those guys need to stop complaining, people are catching on to the lack a value they bring.

    I have to agree. It's amazing to see how much the comments on Friesen's Bomber columns have changed over the past year. At one time you had all his fanboys posting how right he was and now it seems that most of the comments are saying what an idiot he is.

  3. Heh make it easier to find. Searching for blue bomber forum brought up nothing. I had send a pm to get the address.

    Should be easier now that the Googlebots have been here.

    Heck they've already had spam posted here so someone found the place.

  4. It seems like Creehan is one of those special coaches who know how to yell at the right times and not come across as a ranting asshat. Players who have played for him have only glowing reports and have said they loved to play for him... He manages to get the max out of his players..

    except Rey Williams

    Did Williams say something recently disparaging Creehan? Only comments I saw of his he was deflecting some of the blame for the Ticats defence from Creehan.

    Understandably, there will be grumblings when the stadium opens -- most likely from some of my colleagues in the media as the press box is situated at about the 15-yard line, from those that don't like the parking set-up and from that segment of our population that ******* about sunny days.

    And now we have Friesen complaining about the press box in today's Sun. Near the end of his rant he says:

    The Bombers face a similar job, but I don’t know where they could put it.

    It’s either that or blow out the entire window bank, replace it with floor-to-ceiling glass and add second and third rows, raised in steps, if that’s even feasible.

    I could go on about the uncomfortable bar-stool type seating and the fact the windows don’t even open, but there’s no need to pile on.

    Meanwhile Wiecek in today's FP says:

    Sources said the plan now is to fully enclose the press box during the season prior to the Bombers hosting a Grey Cup.

    ...

    The changes required to make the press box at Investors Group Field fully functional will be minor by comparison, requiring not much more than the extension of the existing glass enclosure.

    I find it funny that Lawless and Friesen seem to be the last two media guys to get a tour of the stadium. That's karma for you.

  6. Would it be possible to change the default so links open in a new window rather than leaving the site?

    Which links? The links that people include in posts?

    Yes.

    It appears the "other" site has a very similar new look to this site, the only difference is the slightly better color scheme they have going..... verrrrrrry interesting

    You can see it? When I go there not logged in I get a message that the board is currently unavailable. If I go with the automatic log-in I get the message about my account being suspended.

  7. I can't PM either. Also, I have a message saying I haven't been a member long enough or been active enough to be able to PM yet. Not complaining. Just a couple of glitches I wanted the admins to be aware of.

    You should be able to now. I was able to access the PM system after a few posts (less than 6). If you want to send a PM to someone, place your cursor over the person's user name on one of their posts and you should get links to their profile, to send them a PM and their website (if they have one listed). Or if you go in your control panel there should be a tab for PMs or if you click where it says "__ new messages" it will take you there as well.
