Lol. Yeah, I guess he owes Hughes a 1000 bucks for their much talked about bet over who would get the most sacks.

I also loved how the Bomber olinemen would run down field to push the pile around Harris. Saw a lot of that during the Grey Cup.

I wouldn't call it a steal. The Riders got Alex Hall and a 2nd rounder for Neufeld (Bombers also received a 5th rounder). Hall helped contribute to the Riders' 2013 Cup so I'm sure they were happy with the trade as well.

Really? What did the line-up look like when they didn't have 6 Nationals on offensive?

Grant was available to the offense as a DI. If I recall correctly, the team went to him on their first offensive play in the Grey Cup game. We just didn't see much use of the DI on offense due to the Bombers' heavy focus on the run. Why use a DI when the primary receivers don't get targeted much themselves.

May not take that long. If the Bombers re-sign Nichols I could see the team doing Collaros a favour and releasing him early.

Even if they did, Kongbo was signed to a 3 year deal.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Global players are basically an extra DI and needs to replace an American unless the team started more than 7 Canadians.

He shouldn't be lifting the cup over his head. But whatever.

Where was the after party? The tent where Brett Kissel was playing?

When the Jets were making their run a couple of seasons ago, Jets fans were making fun of the Bombers by saying the Jets were going to win a Cup first even with not having a team for 15 years. Pro-Jets, anti-Bombers fans are almost as bad as Rider fans. I guess Chipman no longer needs to buy the Bombers to make them a winner.

I am so looking forward to the TSN Wired Up show from the Grey Cup. Sportscentre showed some clips and they had Harris giving Lawrence the gears. A lot of times players like to talk smack and not back it up. But clearly the Bombers came to play.

The street name is still going to be called Matheson Road. Instead of changing the actual street name like they did for Milt Stegall Drive the city started to do this honorary option. The honorary street names are initially for 5 years but then can be renewed.

At least more of the crowd will be cheering for the Bombers compared to 2007 and 2011. Hopefully that makes a bit of a difference.

Yeah, crazy that the last time the Bombers played an Eastern team in the Grey Cup was against the TiCats in 1984. The Bombers' last 7 appearances have been against Western opponents.

Yeah, but I wouldn't blame O'Shea's first two playoff loses on Nichols. I believe he did enough to beat the Lions and Esks. It was just bad defence and poor offensive play calling that did the Bombers in.

Can you wear a Noeller jersey so we track you down and give you salami shoulder at TD Manitoba. Lol I'll prolly be wearing my Salisbury jersey. Say hi if u see me.

O'Shea has quickly improved his playoff record with the Bombers to 3-3. Which is a lot better than after that O-2 start with those stinkers against BC and Edmonton.

I got my flights (great WestJet deal at the time) and hotel (downtown is expensive) but need game tix. We will prolly wait until we get to Calgary to sniff around for tix. Definitely looking for something on the Bombers' side of the stadium. I'm not sure if the Bombers will have a charter but it's entirely possible that WestJet or Air Canada will add flights from the Peg.

Did you know?...... It's game day. Let's Go! #ForTheW

For those leaving in the morning, keep in mind Saskatchewan currently has the same time as Winnipeg. There's no saving an hour this time of year.
