"Am I going to regret that?"

Is it their age or their personality and what they allow their staff/players to do? MOS would have been considered a young HC (he was 42 when he came here) but you know that stuff would not fly with him, then or now. Rick Campbell and MOS are the same age but they could not be more different in how they let their teams their teams act.

Riders are going to need another GoFundMe account set up.

Since you mentioned him...

Yeah seems he's doing as well as can be expected. He did this interview for a podcast a couple months after that instagram post and gave an update on his health.

Loved that guy... hope he's doing well after his heart transplant a few months ago.

Here's a good article from when Walters took over in 2013 as it regards to the culture of the team. https://www.sportsnet.ca/football/cfl/kyle-walters-named-acting-general-manager-of-winnipeg-blue-bombers-replacing-joe-mack/

Yeah, worded poorly but I meant as a part of the management team which is what you referenced.

Walters came here as AGM in 2013 and MOS came in 2014 so it wasn't like Walters was a long term firmly entrenched guy.

What has given you the impression that Dickenson has ever had the balls to run a locker room? He has always struck me as an "aw shucks, I'm just happy to be here kind of guy". Not someone who would command respect in any way shape or form. As far as Mace goes, he seems like a guy players would listen to more than Dickenson but he's still in year one so even if he wanted to change that locker room, it's going to take time. It's not like we didn't have some shitheads in Osh's early days (Kuale comes to mind). He's also stuck with O'Day as his GM so there's only so much he can do.

They said last week that the bye-week gave them a chance to work out both QB's before having to sign one of them so we should probably hear something soon. Hamilton figured both may stick around but one would have to take a PR spot, assuming Wilson stays as QB3. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/special/sports-editors-picks/2024/09/11/pair-of-qbs-to-vie-to-replace-bombers-injured-signal-caller-streveler

Yeah not even considering him as a person or businessman, the WWE was way overdue for a change. Their product definitely felt refreshed, to me, when he left and Triple H was fully in charge.

Yeah I saw another article saying that the door is still open so I agree that they'll try to put another proposal together.

There was an offer a few weeks ago that was turned down. https://globalnews.ca/news/10740297/couche-****-disappointed-7-eleven-owner-bid/ I heard about it on Sirius XM and thought it was interesting. The show I was listening to is based in New York and they mentioned that many 7-11's in the area had been closing the last few years so it's not just a Winnipeg thing.

Two weeks ago he was probably in heaven getting Mack back to go alongside Philpott. Now he has neither.

When I was re-watching the game the other night, they had a stat showing that Zach has yet to throw an INT during a Banjo Bowl. I think he was 11 TD's & 0 INT's going into the game. Given his TD/INT ration this year, I'm very happy that he was able to keep his Banjo Bowl streak alive!

Yep, my bad. Was looking at the plan incorrectly. It'll be more of a rectangle shape when (if?) completed.

The plan wasn't to move the food court to be closer to the new theatre. The plan was to expand it north/northwest, using the space from the old theatre. In this picture, green is the existing layout and pink is the proposed layout (the old theatre is essentially under the "C" in Food Court.

571,000 on CTV - last year was 688,100 on TSN. https://3downnation.com/2024/09/11/banjo-bowl-tv-rating-drops-over-17-percent-despite-riders-bombers-airing-on-ctv/

Yeah I don't expect much out of him but it would be a bit disappointing if we cut bait early and he ends up being a good player for them.

I did that earlier in the season. Still time to climb back in it though.

Looks like the Als picked up Barrington Wade.

The feds are still investigating him so it may happen yet. It's also well documented that he has paid off multiple people in the past to avoid things going to trial.
