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

The Scotch thread
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....

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

2001: A Football Odyssey
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.

Only 22,500 tickets sold for home opener
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...

[Merged] 2014 Predictions / Standing Forecast
There's a greater chance of Lulay never seeing the field this year than Glenn never seeing the field...

Only 22,500 tickets sold for home opener
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...

IGF seating
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.

Messam
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..........

Paris Cotton injury update
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...

Bryant Turner at fullback?
In fairness, all other teams automatically forfeited...

Practice Reports
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...

The Restaurant thread
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...

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

Bombers cut 4 players
This was decided a long time ago. Larry Arugula.....end of story.

Bombers cut 4 players
damn it...was hoping we could keep both guys somehow. He'll definitely end up on someone's roster...

Pre season done .... thoughts
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.

GDT: Winnipeg @ Calgary
Hey guys...no WiFi here. What's up? 17-7 at the half I see via Score app. What's the thought at the half?

GDT: Winnipeg @ Calgary
So here's the thing...we get a bonus game in AB this year so we rejoice. Then we find out our friend is getting married today up east of Red Deer near the SK border. Sigh. So 17to85 and I are going to attempt to watch it on my phone during the reception, if I can get some damn WiFi in the hall. Of course, after amore than a decade of futility at McMahon, this means we'll probably win because we aren't there...
