  1. Here's hoping the rain stays away. We don't want anything to dampen our traffic buster party after a sweet win.
  2. hey...what is that.....is that the game day thread? GUYS IT'S THE GAMEDAY GIF THREAD!
  3. The dutch have a good, firm grasp on these things. Not too far one way or the other, just a nice steady hand on the rudder.

  5. How did you find out? Did she try to propose marriage to you?
  6. Keep in mind, not all tickets might be released for sale yet. Traditionally the club would release batches of tickets 2-3 times leading up to a game.
  7. Just a reminder if you are biking to the game, or know someone else who is, and want to join a group of other cyclists headed to and from the game, please visit http://www.facebook.com/BigBlueBikeBus
  8. If you go to ticket masters website, and zoom in on each section, it will show you which seats are available. for those that truly need to know, feel free to count all the dots and let us know what the numbers are =)
  9. Humm. Is that recent? My friend tried to get tix in our section (213) and he said the whole section was sold out. But this shows tickets available. Maybe it's just some singles in our section idk. I don't think it is very recent at all. They took that seat tracker down i'm pretty sure. The image is right from ticketmaster's website, not the seat tracker site.
  10. The flashiest part of the Ottawa receiving corps is Aaron Hargreaves' red shoes.
  11. There was mention somewhere that the PR list should be announced by Sunday
  12. I hope Bolton plays well, and flays the opposition like the Lord he is.
  13. Going to start small first. If things go well for the first game, maybe I will try go get the word out more. As it is now, I am just announcing it on reddit, ourbombers, extra point and here, of course, and letting word of mouth spread from there.
  14. Yeah, don't always blame the drivers. Half of the bikers in this city suck at biking and never EVER follow the rules of the road. They did that "bike lane" down Assiniboine and it's just assinine. I like the idea as well, but half the time these idiot bikers don't even use it and ride on the road. I mean for crying out loud. We lost most of the lane going east for this stupid thing and these guys decide they're going to bike on the road in front of the cars. Then there's the ones who decide they can ride where ever they want, street, sidewalk, whatever. They use the crosswalk on main street (riding across which you're not supposed to do on a bike) and then whip over to the road as cars are turning in. Or they don't use hand signals and just cut in front of cars. I had one idiot riding in front of me in the middle of the road down Marion. He didn't go on the side of the street...he went right in the lane during rush hour. I was like...DUDE...you're going to get killed. Trust me, I love the idea of biking, and I think it's great, but A) we don't have the proper infrastructure for it, and B ) people make up their own bike rules as they go along and they expect drivers to be respectful to them. Yes there are some drivers out there that make up their own rules too, but in the summer all I see is bikers and trying to dodge them is sometimes difficult. It's not hard to see why 2 get killed a year. And don't get me started on the fact that more then half of these tools don't wear helmets. Just going to touch on one point of this post real quick: For the last year and a bit, the bike lane on assinaboine has been closed for a large section due to construction (the fact that it is closed is another matter all together), and it will be closed for about another year. Due to how the lane is built, most cyclists will have a much easier time just staying on the road if they are going under the Donald bridge at all. Not saying this is why every cyclist you see is on the road instead of the lane, but I know I have done it myself for this reason a lot.
  15. This is an idea I had already last year, but in light of the tragic death of **** Stevenson earlier this week, I am going to lead a group bike ride from downtown to the stadium for every bomber home game this year. For more details, and to keep up to date with any changes, please visit https://www.facebook.com/BigBlueBikeBus
  16. If anyone is interested, I will be leading a group bike ride from downtown to the stadium for all the rest of the bomber home games. I will figure out the details later, but the gyst of it is we travel in a nice orderly fashion all together to promote visibility and safety, and it will utilize as much AT/Bike paths as possible.
  17. http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/Cyclist-dies-after-collision-on-way-to-Mondays-Bomber-game-262779761.html It is a shame that he was killed. There is a very nice AT route that by-passed the Pembina-bishop bridge if you go along plaza drive and keep going past the MCC/Ten thousand villages, goes under the bridge, then hooks into D'arcy drive. I took this route to the game, but did not take it after. I was thinking about it, but kinda got in the flow of traffic and just carried on along Pembina with a few other cyclists, including other members of this message board. I don't think I will do that in the future. Too much to risk to shave a few minutes off my return trip.
  18. They also managed to make the terrible error with Kim Babij as Kim Back ***** (well, Lady Dog)
  19. pretty soon it's time to bike to the stadium!
  20. FOOOOOOTBAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
  21. Google Docs, then you can delegate access to the same spreadsheet to the other people who are helping keep track. One questions, by team defense, do we just pick one whole team and how they do on defense as a team will generate our points? Or do we pick a teams worth of individual defensive players? I would assume it would be the former as it seems to be formatted in a quick and easy way, but I wasn't sure. Sounds awesome though!
