So who is going to start the game day thread? I've checked out the posters' win loss records for the game threads they started: @Mr. Perfect 1-0 @Geebrr 2-0 @JCon 3-1 @Noeller 3-1 @MOBomberFan 1-2 @Wanna-B-Fanboy 1-0 @Nolby 3-0 @rebusrankin 1-0

You ever listen to Theo Von? It doesnt seem like the guy does much prep for the interviews but does tend to ask some interesting questions and does put his guests at ease.

O'Shea still has him listed as doubtful for tomorrow. lol

Nope. He was with Montreal in 2016. Do people think Johnson is more deserving than Ryan Phillips and Korey Banks (among others) to get into the hall?

I also think that if someone is border-line to get into the hall it would help if they contributed to a Grey Cup. Guys like Roberts, Stegall and Brown didnt win Cups obviously however their individual accomplishments speak for themselves.

The guy from Hot Ones does a lot of prep work for his questions as well.

Maybe he should try to get into the Winnipeg hall of fame first.

I went to Vancouver for the 2011 and 2014 Cups. I really liked their set up where most events were in one area. I'll make sure to book flights and a hotel early this time. Which is what I shud have done for Hamilton. Alas, I am in Winnipeg and not at the game but at least I'll head to Portage and Main if the Bombers win.

interesting...

Bighill was doing some running today. There is at least a chance he'll play.

Lol. During today's press conference Hodge asked Jefferson how he felt about Kolankowski's play. I guess John was looking for validation for picking him as an all-star.

Some Grey Cup weekend content today: TSN - live coverage from 1-5 pm CJOB - coverage from 2-4 pm Bonfire Sports - Bauming and Walby

West Division post-walkthrough press conference:

Yes, I mis-read the question. I was thinking of those that didnt play in the championship. I would hazard to gues that Mike's example never occured before as teams have played each other at least twice in the past and most MOPs would have dressed for a majority of their games.

A few Bomber examples; Brock (80,81), Clements (87), Stegall (2002).

Bombers are just more passive about it.

Gene Cousineau!

The Bombers will go into Sunday’s game with wide receiver Dalton Schoen (ankle) and linebacker Adam Bighill (calf) listed as doubtful to play. Receivers Rasheed Bailey (knee) and Nic Demski (ankle) are questionable, as are linebacker Kyrie Wilson (hip) and defensive lineman Jackson Jeffcoat (hip). The Alouettes will be without defensive back Zach Lindley (head), while wide receiver Kaion Julien-Grant (shoulder) is doubtful and offensive lineman Pier-Olivier Lestage (knee) is questionable. Receiver/returner Chandler Worthy (ankle) is available to play. https://www.cfl.ca/2023/11/15/als-bombers-injury-reports-schoen-demski-sit-out-on-wednesday/

Or how Toronto didnt have to pay for going over the cap, or being one of the teams that was given an extra Draft pick for no good reason.

I was thinking that its not often the majority of fans at a Grey Cup are supporting the Bombers. The Bombers either seem to be playing against the host team or playing in a city where they are dispised. Even this year most people will be cheering for the Als as they are the Cinderella story being the team that didnt have a owner at the beginning of the year. Would sure be awesome if the Bombers are in the 2025 game.
