Mods please change the thread title to "It's time for the Riders to continue sucking"

Riders lose a close one again and (while I feel bad for Collaros with a devastating injury) I'm looking forward to seeing the smirk wiped off Kent Austin's face as we finally get to see just what kind of a coach he really is. Why couldn't TSN fire Rod Black tonight and it would be a trifecta of happiness!

What a crap season, almost every good QB in the league has been injured for substantial periods and it has definitely effected outcomes of games and the standings. I guess that's football but the East just opened up wide.

The thing about renting is that sooner or later you decide it's better to own and have more control over where you are investing your hard earned money ...

Since it's not the Winnipeg media, I would go with slanting. Funny the articles says he should pull in around $200,000 while Lawless says around $250,000. This must mean we're a lock!

No fair ... reasoning

Great work!

sham degree

Sorry, I don't buy that logic. The NFL has already passed on them the first time and in a lot of cases their sham degree from "Southern Pinestick A&M" is not going to lead to many employment opportunities in the real world that pay as well as a job in the CFL.. I can't stand this bias against athletes. Find one guy on our roster that is from a school you've never heard of. My brother coaches at the University/National level and academic standing (GPA and attendance) is a high priority for his athletes. That is, unacceptable academic standing means no play (no matter who you are) until it's brought up to the standard set by the University regardless of sport (I believe its around 3.00 GPA and 80% attendance rate). So I think the more practical question, for me at least is, where do American Universities sit with this when it comes to football play and academic standing with their student athletes? My educated guess would be it varies from University to University. That's all well and good, but a lot of the basketball players at BU when I was there were dumber than a sack of hammers, and mostly they took classes such as shoe tying 101 and walking and chewing bubble gum 305. A lot of universities like to claim that they have high academic standards, and I'm sure some do, but there's also a lot of fluff involved in getting the athletes through those requirements too. A required course if you want to leave university with an STD. Not familiar with this particular degree ...

... half time programming that involved showcasing players and didn't involve a whole bunch of panel banter. Interesting but no way would the CFLPA allow this now This is for us old timers who watched these guys in their prime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilS1oAAMdSs

Buh Bye Henoc ...

Classic Unis with a classic team - Dieter Brock and the 1980 Bombers. Some good vid of Warren Moon and others in their prime! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0ZetuzNNeI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEfIavAXro4

To be honest I'd rather have Wild. Henoc is a ratio breaker and we do have a pretty serviceable backup in Hurl (another Canadian-which is something teams employing Henoc may have to factor in, slotting a Canadian in at MLB limits options if Henoc got hurt), but you can get the same type of play from Wild almost at a cheaper rate. Go cheap then ....

Would that be before or after they cart Willy off the field for the last time? Kidding ...

They may not do the classic look we are hoping for but keep those (classics) as now and totally redesign the new Bomber jersey incorporating the classic colours. When it comes to these designers, I usually don't get my hopes up too high . Remember, they are still part of the same company who laid these on us It could end up looking something like this LOL ... Les Habs!

Welcome Tajh!

In the last two weeks has Walters changed anyone's mind(s) about his potential to be a very good GM after all?

Ask Kamau Peterson

Sweet, this guy is a speciman. Can't believe we got him, as little as a month ago riderfans were thinking he was signing with them LOL.

I can't help myself, it's hard not to love a 1 - 10 Rider season, especially you when two of those losses are because of the Bombers!
