CFL website says 4:30 MST for me.... so 5:30 CST.... 6:30 where Bluto is.

I like that Hardrick got the nom. In a year where Stan didn't necessarily stand out as his usual dominant force, it feels like a good time to mix it up. I would have personally gone with Paddy, but I feel like everyone LOVES Yoshi and there's a good chance some of the national media give him some love. At any rate, it's a nice feather in the cap of a guy who's been incredible, but living in the shadow of the best OL of all time. As for the other stuff... I want to believe Brady O takes West MOC/MOP, but never underestimate the media's ability to make truly stupid decisions. It should be Kelly vs Brady for the MOP and Kelly wins because he's a QB, and as Dunny said on a recent broadcast "they just have so much more to do on the field... so much more responsibility".... so they'll give it to Kelly. Plus, anything to jerk off those assholes a little bit more. I do think Brady wins league MOC, though... Betts will win MODP for sure. At any rate, I'll trade every one of those awards for a big silver chalice on November 19th, so I can put my "Defend The Cup" sign back up again...

I don't know if other teams see Dru Brown as a better option to what they have now, as much as fans here do. Like we all love him and think he's got a future but does Ottawa think he's better than Crum, when Crum had most of a season to get reps and Brown came in two or 3 times?

Ya I think everyone needs to breathe a bit and realize this isn't an overnight fix. Pointing out the empty seats at every game is already exhausted.

It recurred... Really good podcast with him on the bombers website. They've been through a lot and continue the battle.

This all reeks of ESPN trying to do something they think is fun, but actually fucks over all the fans. I was just reading a quote from one of the Wings coaches complaining about them starting at 8:30. Definitely stupid.

totally forgot about that.... ****. Yeah, we are thin on NI REC.

bet we see Jeremy Murphy in for Demmer this weekend....

good stuff here...

Reddit Rider fans seem split between Buck and Lapo... here's hoping it's Lapo or Burris. Either one of those will be good for some lulz...

the leader of one of the worst defenses in the league...... perfect!!

that WOULD be funny, but I think it would be even better if Burris ends up as the HC in Sask with really no relevant experience and continues the circus atmosphere over there...

zero CFL coaching experience (at least as a co-ordinator).... seems like exactly what the Cryders need....... I can already see the palms up on the sideline and the pouting/crying when things don't go his way.

hat tip to 17to85 for finding this....... and a giant LOL!! if this actually comes true....

he does indeed - their mutual friend, Gussy, took him out recently and they were into 'em!

Hey.... you made the sale! Quit sellin'! #DoubleIncomeNoKids

Yeah, Ottawa definitely needs a vet QB if they're going to try and turn it around. Not sure who is the answer there. There are so few QBs right now... maybe they make a run at Dru Brown, but I think they need someone proven.... but who is that??? I think Harris is still under contract to Sask for another year. Do they try to get one of VAJ or Dane out of BC? I think Crum MIGHT be something, but he needs some more bench time to ease his way in.

Don't think Ottawa is making any changes... there was an article last week saying that Burke and Dyce will get at least one more year to try and turn it around.

Hope you'll have the chance to make a whole weekend of it. Take in as many of the parties as you can. The entire festival is a really great time.

hilarious - JOD was not the one deciding that the coach was being fired:

it feels like they're taking baby steps rather than just gutting the tumour..... last year it was QB/OC taking the bullet. This year just the HC. They need to strip the whole thing right down with a fully body off restoration. President on down...... but thankfully they're extending the mess. I personally couldn't be happier.

whether he meant it or not, I love that he actually said it to you. Again, the people running this organization really do understand what it means to be a Bomber and be a Manitoban. **** the Riders and **** Saskatchewan always.

So much this... keep the circus in town.
