For me: 1) Bombers 2) Any other CFL game 3) Curling 4) Jets/Oilers

I'm nothing if not a casual (some would say quiet and passive) fan....

I'm ******' ready for tomorrow, I'll tell you what......hate all 4 teams playing, but GOD DAMN it's CFL playoffs again!!!!!!

If memory serves, there used to be a "2 for 1" coupon in those "Book Of Gold" coupon books that came out each year, so I'd get to go to at least one Bombers and one Jets game, and at least once we did both games in the same day. I remember being very young in the endzone seats for a Sean Salisbury game and everyone screaming "Deeee Feeeeeense..... Deeeeeeee Feeeeeeeense...." and then hopping across the street for a Jets/Oilers game. It is definitely a good idea to get kids involved however you can...

I'm realizing that I have massively under valued him this year. I really thought he was just a TCF jersey filler that gave the good players some water breaks....**** me for not knowing better.

thought folks might dig this........

There's almost no one in the league unvaccinated anymore. There were less than 5 before the season started...

I saw a headline today about how Duke being in the line up means they can "really take advantage of the full benefit of Fajardo's arm"..... And they meant it as a good thing!

I know this is a Bob Appreciation Thread (as it should be!) but I just wanted to say I really miss CBC CFL broadcasts. I got down a rabbit hole around 1am last night (this morning?) watching Bombers playoff recap videos. Steve Armitage is not a great PBP man, but damn those were fun broadcasts.

Just a matter of time until it's found here. Hope we're doing everything we can to mitigate the damage. Wouldn't surprise me at all if we went right back to the beginning of the pandemic, in order to prevent total catastrophe....

Yeah, that's absolutely fair...better to have butts in the seats.

This....bunch of immature yappers. Osh built a team of men....

I don't think you can just let every kid in for free with a paid adult admission....without some major corporate help. You'd just lose way too much money. But hopefully they can do something SIMILAR next year.

Honestly, Trotz is the only guy I'd have confidence on any of the teams I cheer for...

he be aight.....

I will never understand the Maurice complaining that fans do.......but even if you do replace him.....who the f*** is out there that would be an upgrade?? Babcock coaching CIS?

https://www.bluebombers.com/2021/11/26/quick-hits-western-final-countdown/ Some good stuff from Our Man Tait, (please give them a click!) including: Asked specifically about Alexander’s availability for the West Final — the all-star safety was injured in the second quarter in the loss to Calgary and did not return — O’Shea said “he’ll be good.” The possibility of a return for Harris, meanwhile, remains unknown. “We’ve had a plan for him for weeks,” O’Shea said. “He’s spending a lot of time with Al (Couture, Head Athletic Therapist) and Brayden (Miller, Strength & Conditioning Coordinator) and is getting his work in. We’ll just keep up with that process until we’ve got to make a decision. “We’re not far enough along yet to assess whether (him playing) that’s going to happen or not. We stick to our daily routine and we see progress so we just keep going at that.”

thought this was kind of interesting...

fantastic - fill the house, whatever it takes! And nice to know that corporate sponsors stepped up to make that happen!

A lot of brash comments coming from players in the semis this week......

that's where I first became aware of him. They had a good team in his senior year, and I remember watching at least one of the playoff games on TV. You just knew he was going to be a star one day. I was so chapped when Taman scooped him one spot above us in the CIS draft....

Officially shutting things down out of South Africa. Anyone who's travelled there in there and back in the past 14 days has to remain in quarantine following test results. Thankfully they're taking it seriously, hopefully it's not too late.

hey I'm just saying what he said to Irving at one point this season...can't remember which pre or post game show it was, but that's what he said to Irving. Took him awhile to get his game back. I guess the question is, what's better? Rusty Andrew Harris at about 85% health, or 2-Headed Augustine/Olly at about 95%...??

By his own admission, it took him "2 or 3 games" to get his legs back. He wasn't great for the first bit....but......who knows. I'm really curious to know what the hell is going on with that, for sure.
