Don't get me wrong...I'll drink a rum, preferably a spiced, but its not my go to drink. I went thru a rum phase in Uni but the captain and I no longer sail together.

Been drinking Crown off and on since I was 16 but Dave and I got into Gibby's on account of the CFL. Problem with Gibby's is its too smooth and it sneaks up on you. With Crown, you know it when it goes down. 40 Creek is a great Whisky and White Owl is also outstanding. Some of the best white whisky I've ever had, tho, was brewed by my in-laws out in the boonies near Sandy Lake

Im curious if Detain has value in being familiar with Bellefuille system and schemes already. Or at least the terminology. He wouldn't start but is he more polished than the NI receivers we brought in this year like Julian FG?

I can't express how much I hope we bring back Detain....if only to see the board reaction...

Fwiw there was some talk of Dave and I toasting the good fortunes of WBB FC on Thursday night by cracking the GF. This has been a most interesting thread and I'm now very eager to give er a run.

Probably can still run circles around some guys... the man is a ******* athlete ...in the mould of Prince Fielder....

Funny story...17to85 and I have been talking about getting into Scotch. He got a bottle from his folks for Christmas and we're just trying to see who's got the nerve to try it first. I like the *idea* of being a Scotch guy....

I think it's a fool's errand to declare the off season a success or failure without having played a single meaningful game...

I was in my 4th year at Brandon during this season and have vivid memories of watching or listening to every game that season. More than our share of late night noise violations in the dorm during a late game at BC. I believe we even made the trek to Wpg for one of the games vs Hamilton. That Bolden pick of McManus in the EF is forever etched on my brain.

Nobody's debating the die-hards here...it's the casual fans who are going to take awhile to come back. They need to see wins...

There's a greater chance of Lulay never seeing the field this year than Glenn never seeing the field...

I think anyone who's followed this team was expecting this to happen at some point. It will take time to rebuild the casual fans who make up the other 10k in tix. It'll come in time...

Last year we sat with Coorsman Chad up in the north end zone and I couldn't get over how close to the action we were, even up at the top. Phenomenal seats everywhere. My only beef last year was how jammed the concourse gets before the game.

I am reading what you're typing. I'm trying to connect the dots to where it makes us better.So you are suggesting that we have a game day roster that features only 2 running backs (Cotton/Messam) and use the DI elsewhere? Please correct this if I'm still not understanding you. I will then explain why that doesn't really make us better. expecting tburgess to justify his opinions in a way that makes sense is asking for too much. He prefers to get an idea in his head and stick with it no matter how your pick it apart. hmmm...that sounds very familiar..........

Holy cow with the Will Ford hate. I second that he's good enough to at least carry us through till Cotton gets back. Or maybe spell off with Grigsby.

Probably not far off, I'd bet...

In fairness, all other teams automatically forfeited...

Cut down day is Saturday, but apparently MOS said yesterday that they'd likely have everything decided Friday and might even make it public then...

What's Barley Brothers? Is that like a brew pub? Sounds interesting. Coorsman lives near that location, so we might have to pop in when we're home this summer...

Wish I coulda been home for the Wpg Beer Fest. We go to the Calgary one every year and it's amazing. So awesome to test out all the different craft beers/micro brews that are out there.

Just so tired of people thinking they know more than the paid/trained professionals. Let 'em do their job...

This was decided a long time ago. Larry Arugula.....end of story.

damn it...was hoping we could keep both guys somehow. He'll definitely end up on someone's roster...

Definitely going to be fighters. Could be like the 2010 WBB that lost a ton of close games and found a way to turn those close losses into wins the following year. As long as they're competitive and showing effort in every game, I'm good with that as a baby step in the right direction.

Some people just gotta be mad about something...
