that's awesome, but my thing this year that I'm convinced is helping the Bombers win, is Crown Royal Northern Harvest mixed with Pepsi Max.....I'm CONVINCED the Manitoba-made rye is working.....didn't have it on Labour Day, but made sure to buy it for BB....

Me, sitting at work, waiting for CJOB pre-game to start............

hey now, that was a GREAT time!

there is absolutely zero need to rotate Ekakatie in right now. If Jake Thomas was an every down player that required an NI back-up, then he likely would, but as it is, JT is just rotating in with Nevis and Poop. Now, having said that, would Ekakatie get reps now that Thomas appears to be the one taking Westerman's NI Roster spot? I'm not sure on that, as it looks like he'll still be sitting tonight as one of the 2 game-time scratches...

This entire statement is a complete and total load of crap.

FIRST YEAR PLAYERS NOT PLAYING IS A SIGN OF A TEAM THAT FINALLY HAS DEPTH AND ISN'T THROWING THEIR DRAFT PICKS TO THE WOLVES!!!

I voted last night....this should be a no-contest, because those Royal Blues are among the best in all of pro sports, all time....

Keep in mind, Ottawa has a pretty stout D, too. Statistically 2nd to Calgary, I believe. With the weather....this one could be a 13-12 slobberknocker.

@Rich time to lock 'er down, sir......

As has been posted before, our D will never allow us to blow anyone out, but we should win by at least a score tonight. Weather is the great evener for a 3rd string QB, tho...

@Ted_Wyman 5m5 minutes ago #Bombers QB Matt Nichols on team gathering on field to honour coach Mike O'Shea on 47th birthday. Plus his assessment of O'Shea's Irish jig.

LOL! Okay, I snorted.....damn it...

After nearly 20 years, I've found it's best to smile and nod until he finds something else to catch his ire....

People might scoff at this, but if this gets young kids into the game, this will create the next generation of fans...........in theory........

spent a lot of time at both Skinner's and Fun Mountain when I was a kid in the late 80s/early 90s.......so much fun. West Ed water park is OUTSTANDING....best I've ever seen. Winnipeg could definitely use an indoor water park. Every city wants more young families, and young families want water parks.

...It feels like a negative week in Bombersland, with Westerman and Thorpe news.......we need something really positive, and it's a 9th win tomorrow night!

...but about that passport....

more info, via Ted Wyman:

As per depth chart, Santos L Halper gets the start again this week with Knox backing him up........so there's that!

Would be a real shame if Poop was sidelined in all this....IMO, really need him in that DL rotation...

lol....Kives......went to CBC.....

the whole "starting" thing really doesn't matter that much because there's going to be such a distribution of reps throughout the game....all those guys are going to see a lot of time.

When I read Rich's OP, I cringed thinking about Broadbeck......

Not a ton of change to the starting line up tomorrow...even with Thomas "starting" and Ekakatie backing him up, we'll still get a steady rotation with Poop and Nevis.....
