Because I'm curious about this stuff... Where did you get Bombers jerseys back in the day? Did they have a Bombers store like today where you could get stuff?

There's no such thing as LTCs in football.

Bighill and Jefferson are generational talents. Jefferson is the Mike Sellers of DL. He shouldn't even be here. If not for his troubles in his early 20s, he'd be in the NFL. If Bighill was an inch or two taller, he'd be in the NFL. And then you've got Jeffcoat, who would be a shining star on any other team. Stove would be an NFLer if an inch or two taller. It's a ridiculous D that they've built.

After giving up our 1st last time for Collaros, I'd really prefer not doing that for a kicker. I just can't believe that there are so few kickers out there, that we'd give up a 1st rounder (likely a quality OL). Even if we're picking 9th, that's still a really good player there.

I have an uncle in his early 70s who was out visiting this weekend... Rabid Bombers fan.... And I asked him this very question. He says this is the best Bombers D of all time. That is a HELL of a statement.

No team in the league is going to trade us their capable kicker. And not for just picks. Anyone who thinks we can just trade for a kicker, keep in mind we're likely sending Legs the other way in that deal, along with a pick. Does that seem smart?

They're both terrible.

I feel like you guys are basing your opinions on the fact that Cgy won the past two weeks and nothing more. They haven't done anything for anyone to be concerned about. The Riders are AWFUL.... Remember what we did to them? And the Stamps barely beat them. BLM looked awful in both games. Don't give either team a moment of thought....

Stamps aren't good... This was two shitty teams trying to let the other team win. As mentioned, there is a humongous drop-off from the Bombers to everyone else in the league.

Sask and Cgy are both shitty. Neither one of them scares me in the least.

Exactly... Just like 2019........................

It's hard to pick the 3 stars because I feel Edm was equally as bad as Wpg was okay. Bombers weren't great in 2/3 phases and were okay/good enough 1/3. 1. Defense as a whole, Bighill in particular. 2. OL, especially during garbage time. We've heard it said again and again that there is nothing more demoralizing to a team than knowing a team is going to run on you every play and still not being able to do a damn thing about it. Harris was okay but it was garbage time and the OL did the work. 3. Coaches. MOS especially. This team doesn't take a night off. HH. Mike Benson. I was mad at myself for not knowing who the hell 40 was. Unsung hero.

So there's a group chat that has me, 17to85, a couple of old OB.com posters Coorsman and wessmitty, and another pal of ours...... And it's basically this post... Endlessly.

Anyone who says the Swaggerville team was their favourite, wasn't around for the 12 In A Row 2001. Now THAT was a lot of fun, and more similar to an Osh team. Papa Dave didn't let anyone get too fat and sassy. Maybe because I was 21, but hooooeeeeeeee did we have a lot of fun watching games that year...

That logo.......designed by a respected indigenous graphic designer........is spectacular. Also of note, the orange jerseys that the team is wearing during warm-ups will be auctioned off after the game for charities that get indigenous youth into sports. I'm hoping to bid on one myself....great jersey, and even better cause. I think it would be in Edmonton....a lot more confidence with a home game. But honesty, you could say every game from here on out is a trap game...

I've been laughing about "Molly Whopped" all morning....hilarious.

If this game wasn't at IGF East, I'd be a bit concerned.......but I feel pretty confident about keeping the Elsks down at home. It's a brutal place for other teams to play...

Literally? So like, they needed 4 guys to lift your girlfriend and couldn't?

That seems fair....if I've learned anything out here, it's that most rig-pigs are dumbasses. They'll come around once they realize that they need it to keep up their "$100k/year With No Education" lifestyle...

Stoked for this! Got some family from the St FX/Headingly area visiting this weekend, so I'm headed to Okotoks after work to pre-game with them and root root root for the home team! I've got my 1990-ish Walby jersey ready for tonight. Let's go BLUUUUUEEEEEEE!!!!!

I truly felt good for Knuckles after GC107, after having to polish so many turds for nearly 30 years.... was so nice to see him get a ring from the team. Man, he earned it...

if there was a stadium capable of hosting it, it might be interesting to try some games out there, just to see if it'd work. Like Mississauga or something.....just test it out with a game here and there, and see what the response is like.

wife and I had tickets for this one, but Bombers take precedent always, plus.......#COVID19AB and all that.......

literally just finished reading the Bachman story on Twitter just before I popped over here. Incredible. I've read 3 of RB's books and was quite familiar with the story of the lost Gretsch. Insane that they actually found it. I roll my eyes at this musician in Tokyo essentially holding it for ransom....get bent. But glad they worked something out anyhow...
