  1. at it's best it was pretty ******* epic, but that was a long time ago and a lot of those posters don't do the message board thing anymore. Back when men were men, dames were broads, and you could tell a moron that he was a moron without fear of repercussion.
  2. I don't think we have any interest in Curran. Based on what? Was it not reported that it's us and Ottawa left in the bidding?
  3. Strictly an ego thing for him. He sees himself as the biggest WBB fan of all time, and his owning the site is somehow "proof" of that. It's got him on CBC Radio a few times as a guest "Bomber Fan Expert" during some shows. "Well, this guy runs *THE* Bomber fansite, so he MUST be the biggest Bomber fan there is..." That's why he has the site...
  4. Apparently the Oilers roster is massively depleted. They're already without some of their biggest offensive threats, but now Gordon, Hendricks and Klinkhammer are out and Keith Aulie might have to play forward. Yikes.
  5. Despite the Saturday performance, the Oilers are a much MUCH better team under Todd Nelson. Can't take 'em lightly...
  6. If BC gets even reasonable QBing this year, they're going to be good...
  7. Dile, Picard and Neufeld are really really big What Ifs though....
  8. Oh I want to also point out how happy I am about back to back summer games in AB. That is a very pleasant surprise, indeed!
  9. As do I. I like watching them out there but if it's a home game and I miss 4 of them then why get season tix? I liked last years sch better but I'm not going to complain. They cant please everyone! I'll just go out to the lake early and often and not as much end of the season. Love watching games at our place at Victoria Beach. We're right on the lake, so we go jump in for a swim at half time and then come back ready to roll for the 3rd quarter. Big fan of games at the cabin...
  10. based on this sched, TC opens the week of June 1st. Reckon I'm gonna try and come home for that 5-7th weekend of June and take in some TC prior to the first pre-season game on Tuesday the 9th...
  11. ...This is massive. I can actually come home for it this year...
  12. this #CFLScheduleHostageCrisis thing is a giant pile of bullshit. Just ******* give me the schedule already, and stop playing your stupid games. For **** sakes...
  13. About Goddamn time. But if it's ready, release the bloody thing! Enough jerking people around with your big social media blitz. Let's have it already! #IsItJuneYet
  14. It's many factors....one of the biggest is downplaying every loss he's ever had and blaming something...anything....other than himself. No credibility. No leadership. No drive. No to KG. No to mediocrity in this, the longest current Grey Cup drought. It's a shame you had to miss the 2007 season. It was pretty good, for the most part...
  15. I can understand some people saying "Nah, I'd rather not bring in KG5 at this point..." but the outright vitriol being shown is absolutely astonishing to me. Man oh man, I didn't know he kicked so many people's dogs...
  16. I'll add another thing, too, though maybe it's just me: I've always felt like Glenn should retire a Bomber. I'd personally like to see him come here and play out the rest of his career. He had his best years (IMO) as a Bomber, and was robbed of a GC in 2007. I'd love to see him come here to get a ring and then retire in Blue and Gold. ....But, again, that's just me...
  17. Who are you referring to? Dan Federkeil, who was none too pleased that we bought Bryant away from them...
  18. They've got a damn good OL coach over there. If they can't turn him into something, then likely not meant to be, but count me as one hoping he works out great for them!
  19. What did Swiston ever do to have people **** on him? Just a shame he never worked out for us...
  20. Every jersey I wear is a Royal. Have a Joe Pop and Doug Brown from the last incarnation of Royals, and got a Dunigan version of the new Royals. I just can't justify spending money on either the Navy or Beige ones....both the design and colour scheme are a total mess.
  21. I was hoping he would re-sign with them. I am now hopeful he plays. I for one am looking forward to seeing Hurl start for you guys. He will shore up the run game that's for sure. Richie Hall and a healthy DL are going to shore up the run game more than anything...
  22. Yes, the team does listen to the fans. And yes, we do monitor forums, mostly to make sure we can dispel false information that's being spoken about as fact. However, first off, it's not a decision made by the "Marketing department" to change the uniform colors. Secondly, yes, we are well aware that a segment of fans wants the team to go back to royal blue full time. Thirdly, it's not as easy as just "deciding" to make a change and then doing it. There are far more factors that would go into a move like that than just making a decision a couple of months before the season and swapping jerseys. It would have to be approved at a variety of levels, and then there would be a substantial cost to switching over all of the team gear, down to the most minute pieces of equipment. If a color scheme switch is going to happen, it's a decision that's made thoughtfully and carefully at higher levels than just the "Marketing department", with consideration given to all of those factors and many, many more. Yes, the royal blues are gorgeous and we know a lot of fans love them. But to suggest the team isn't listening to its fans, or that we "know best" as you put it, just because the royal blues haven't been brought back as the primary jersey is a terribly unfair characterization of the situation when there is substantially more to it than that. But thanks for your input! I'm sure we all appreciate the explanation, but if the club was really paying attention, you wouldn't be talking about a decision that had to be made a couple months before the season started. The fans have been calling for the royal blues ever since you first released them. Personally, I'm just tired of being the Beige Bombers on the road. Respectfully want to point out it's not just "a segment of the fans"...I think if there was a poll, you'd see a VAST MAJORITY of fans want the Royal Blues full time. That said, I understand there's a LOT of politics at play here.
  23. Well I'm glad someone explained it...
  24. We're this close to repairing the damage done from past years…and letting O-Linemen walk, to arriving at a full house of capable? personnel. So now, we have to look to the future and drafting with the future in mind. The O-Line is a different entity onto itself and thank goodness Walters recognizes that. I like Demski - but I love the #2 position…for this year. They had a plan for free agency and now, with these new pieces in place, and possibly more, they'll formulate an attack plan for the draft. I'm looking forward to seeing them enact that plan. I read this twice, and I still have no idea what exactly you're trying to say...it feels like you used a whole lotta words, and some weird Left-Justify formatting to say a lot of nothing. Ha ha...what exactly was your point?
