I have season tickets and I don't even live in Manitoba anymore! And, for the record, I lived in Stonewall so it was a good hour home afterwards, and the people I sold them to live in Stonewall as well. Pfff...Stonewall...what a bunch of weirdo's over there. Hey now careful! Some of us still live live in and around Stonewall

I can see the headlines now "Browning-Willy steal the show"

It takes me close to an hour each way and no complaints here. I brought my 5yr old to the preseason and didn't get home until midnight and he still made school the next day Should be no excuses

LOL. he ain't coming here, if anywhere he's going back to hamilton. I don't disagree that he probably wont come here but why would you say he would go back to Hamilton?

Not a CFL cut but... @scratchingpost: #Colts have released former #Ticats DE Justin Hickman. Still has close ties with his old #CFL team. Any use for another International DE/LB?

Well the home team has won the last 3 GCs...

I think if you read these in a mirror you might be close

It's no surprise. Bryant Turner once went undefeated in the NFL and won the super bowl despite not having any other teammates. He can play all positions simultaneously.

I assume Cornell was signed for ST only. He has 45 STT in 4 years..... The Bolton signing is strange. Is he signed as a RB or a WR/KR? I also like the Dell signing.

That's a great lookin field! Too bad it's 24,000 instead of 33,000 like ours. I think for Ottawa that 24k is a good number.

That's a great lookin field!

There was only 2 practices between both games. I know. That's why I brought it up. A day to review film and two days to try and teach it and or learn It. Not saying this was the only reason they did not come out a little stronger against Calgary but it certainly didn't help.

Another thing to discuss is the short time frame between pre season games. They really only had the better part of three days to evaluate and get ready for the second pre season game. Not really a lot of time to try and teach/learn anything from the first game.

Yup, Moore, Cotton and Kuale and I think you are pretty well bang on. Also noticed you have us in the East still on one of your opening screens.

You know it's officially CFL season when Em arrives! Thanks again Em. Look forward to seeing these.

Minnesota... The American Version of Manitoba I might try to sneak up for a game this year if I can get the wife to give me a weekend to make the drive up and back.. Quite familiar with Minnesota I have a lot of friends in Hibbing, Duluth, Twin Harbours, Chisholm etc. etc. All the curling towns Hope you can make it up here!

Welcome UB! Are you in Buffalo or are you in Winnipeg?

I like National Kicker

I know. I'm sure he will find his way on to a team this year.

I'd say more than that. Caretaker Bob has a real self imposed mess on his hands. He didn't like any other locations that the City of Hamilton wanted to build a new stadium on. They have no venue to start the season maybe going forward into September & October. Where are all the ST holders & general admission going to sit?? I hope Bob has a big back yard. Maybe he can setup a tv and have everyone over for a BBQ to watch the game. Onemoredork over at RF has assured everyone they will be hosting the home opener on July 26th even if it's not completely finished. I'm not sure how you can get an occupancy permit for that many people if it's not finished. Where have we heard this before??

Fixed

It's pretty clear our D took a step back from previous years. Anyone who saw Etch in previous years expected this to happen here. On the flip side our O appears to have improved over the last few years. Something I'm not sure many would have expected. I said it in another thread that I think our O will get off to a better start then our D for a change. So we lose two preseason games by 2 points and 3 points. Both games were very winnable when it comes down too it. I can probably go through this forum and find two dozen people saying all I want to see is improvement this year over last year. Well over two games there is lots of improvement. Yup there is a lot of improvement to be had but firing a DC this soon will not make us improve before we start our season in 12 days. If we start 0-4 and the D Is the clear cut reason we are losing then I can see panic setting in and a reason to start looking for replacements. But if we are giving up 40 points a game and scoring 41 does it really matter?? All we really want this season is to be competitive and in games right? A post season appearance is out of the picture at this point and would just be icing on the cake if we actually make it there.

They had colour tvs back then?!? Its pretty safe to say I don't remember that game. I was 4 at the time. Although there is a good chance I watched it as my dad was a Bomber fan and I do remember watching football games as a kid on TV. Oh those CBC graphics and commercials bring back the memories lol.

Yeah noooooot good.
