Hmmm....yeah I think these are the regular ones scheduled all over. They used to do a sort of mini-camp that lasted the better part of a week and was down at a big training facility in Florida. I think the people they choose from these tryout days listed above get invites to the mini-camp in FLA....or at least they used to.

Has anyone heard anything about whether teams are doing one of those min-camps down south with potential new recruits? Seems to me that would normally be about this time....

I think the real test for Buck will be the in-game adjustments and play calling...

I want the fLames to start losing and the Jets to start winning. I'm not sure if it's possible, but I desperately want the Jets to get in at the fLames expense...........please?

My understanding is that the stadium is very difficult to get to...the atmosphere in a dome sucks in the summer.....and it was overpriced.

not sure I like your tone, suggesting adversity.....

Have read a couple different interviews with Collaros this offseason, talking about how he's found his will to play football again, after feeling very "done" prior to coming to Winnipeg. Playing with the teammates he has, and maybe more importantly, playing FOR the coach he has, has rekindled his fire.

******* nerds...

Rouge: French for "Red", also a single point in Canadian Football Rogue: To go against the rules. See: "Going rogue"....

She might be spending more than I do while we're home....she is some kinda excited. We're having "discussions" about possibly buying seasons tickets even though we live south of Red Deer, AB..... just to support the team, because we can. And get a discount on merch and stuff. We'll see...at any rate, my point is more that she's as much in on this as me. Ha ha. It's all well and good till I see that she's enjoying those Adam Bighill workout videos on Insta a little too much......

I worked an awful lot of overtime since January 1. I told everyone who paid me that they could just make the cheque out to Mr Miller, but whatever...I'll take the circuitous route

that was exactly my first thought. It seems like something only the players should wear....

$375........ ai yi yi. Giant no thanks...... I'm coming home in a couple weeks and will definitely be spending a schwack of cash at the Bombers Store, but that's just crazy.

king of the circus shot... has always favoured the angle-run-triple for 1 over a draw for 2 -kinda thing. More important than the shot itself, here, is the line call by both Gunner and Alex....

When the Oilers do a solid for the Jets or vice versa, I'm a happy camper. If not for Brett Kissel going full Keith Urban on the broadcast tonight, it would have been a perfect night...

I'll be honest, I was against any change just because I'm an old man and hate change by nature, but I'm really interested in this rugby explanation, which makes sense. I'm all about preserving the heritage, and this seems like as good a reason as any.

this makes a very very good point...

But what I was talking about was the actual state of our Men's division in Manitoba....which is the shits right now. Gunner is a very good Manitoba Curling Tour team, and a below average WCT team. Mike and Reider are the only semi-legit WCT team that we have curling out of Manitoba. Yes, we are producing all the good curlers as we have for generations, but sadly they go elsewhere. Dunstone is the best men's curler we've produced in decades and he did the most sickening thing possible.......he went to Saskatchewan. Makes my stomach turn...

Glad both they and the wheaties made it and hopefully they'll have some games out west here for us to go watch...

I don't think Gunner is smart enough that I'd want him on my team in any capacity. He and Reider are friends tho and Gunner threw 3rd for him in 06. What I want to see is Dunstone come home and play with Mike and Reid. I'd like to see Denni at lead, but Samagalski would be okay too.

Mentioned about two pages ago in this thread....

I'd be shocked if Ambrosie didn't have this in mind... Big picture. Makes too much sense.

?? Adamant...?

it's a particularly un-Canadian thing to do...

Thank Christ and everything holy, Mike McEwen won the Wild Card play in game and will play this week at the Brier. Manitoba's men's division is as bad right now as its ever been, so we need two teams to give ourselves a chance this week. (spoiler: neither has a chance against the best teams.)
