  1. One of the best weekends of my life, without question. We (unfortunately) live in rural AB for work, and we'd purchased tickets nearly a year in advance when we got a pre-sale code. Not great seats, but only $150, so you can't really go wrong. When all the craziness at the end of the season started conspiring in our favour, we realized we were so glad to have pre-purchased tickets. One of our buddies was turning 40 on the GC weekend, and so another of our buddies came out from Winnipeg for the whole weekend. There's almost too many stories to tell, but it started with a bison burger (get more Manitoba in ya...) on the Thursday night, then being interviewed by Bart Kives for a story about ex-pat Manitobans in AB for GC, then meeting James West (who we initially thought was Mookie Mitchell - long story!) and his wife. Got our pic taken with the cup at Spirit Of Edmonton. Friday, an outstanding TD MB and I finally got to talk with Doug Brown and get him to sign my jersey, which I'd wanted for a long time. That night, we ended up at Bombers House downtown YYC. It was a really good time. In the back room, we were hanging out with Andrew Patterson and some others, when Doug Brown and Bob Cameron wandered in. I think Bob had had a few pops that evening. Everyone was cheering for both of them, and out of nowhere, Bob decided to get on the bar and "plank". It is, to this day, one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. Saturday we had a killer surprise party for buddy's 40th. Sunday was the game itself. Started with a shot of Gimli (Crown Royal) and some Farmery beer while watching the 90 GC. Then we made our way down to McMahon, and of course, the rest is history. Hanging out after the game, not wanting to leave the stadium, high-fives with Rasheed Bailey and his family, Zach Collaros, Wade Miller and some others. Great weekend....I'll see if I can find some pics from the weekend and post here later.
  2. not necessarily that they're fans of another team masquerading here, but I feel strongly the bolded is true of several people on here...
  3. when Jones ****** off and they were forced to take on the lesser Dickenson as their HC, I laughed and laughed and laughed because this is exactly what was going to happen. They wildly overachieved in the first year and then regressed to what they really are. It's highly enjoyable to watch.
  4. it's the injuries. Last year was a freak show because of how healthy we were the entire season. This year. we have had a TON of injuries and that's what's causing most of the "problems", but as has been noted, we're still not giving up many points, especially when it matters.
  5. We'll know more on Day 1 of practice. As for what happens on Saturday, I was convinced of Molly Whopping the Als at home and that didn't work out so well. I'm now very leery of beating any team in back to back weeks.
  6. Marc Legghio is our MOST and it's not particularly close. **** the haters.
  7. Ya the LOL'ks have a ton of issues for sure. Poor Man's Dakota Prukop is but one of many.
  8. "Losers whine about trying their best, winners go home and **** the prom queen" - John Mason
  9. And, also, he's terrible.
  10. I do not trust Corny to get the job done in this situation....
  11. Terrible QBs. Thank Christ we have Collaros. How bad is Maier going to Molly Whop the L'ks today??
  12. It looked very very bad...
  13. Never lost faith for even a second. He's a CIS all timer, and is gonna be a great CFL kicker before it's all said and done. Fans have to chill out and have patience with young players... ESPECIALLY kickers.
  14. Hot take: That was a bigger play than the game winning FG. Not underrated at all.
  15. 1) Legs. All 3 phases outstanding and a MASSIVE game winning kick. 2) Collaros. Best QB in the league and or snot particularly close. 3) Nicky D. So clutch. HH) Our coaches vs Knuckle Dragging Cousin F***er coaches.... Taking them to school yet again.
  16. Suuuuuuuper lame that my GDT thread title got changed. What a bunch of *******. **** that province. Go Blue.
  17. My rage is obviously only directed at permanent residents. **** em all. Ell. Eff. Gee.
  18. If you willingly choose to live in The Gap...... That's just on you.
  19. **** every single person in that God forsaken shithole of a province. Let's make them cry for another week.
  20. Right click - Copy Image. Right click - Paste.
  21. Just posting this as an FYI because I'm thinking some people may not know: If you click the blue star next to the thread title (to the left) it will automatically take you to where you last read. It will show you only the posts you haven't seen. So that way you can get caught up on what's been posted since you were last here....
