  1. Which would you rather have? A poor record for a few years or a brand new state of the art facility to watch football games in? I know the cost of the stadium isn't directly related to the poor football performance over the last few years but the club likely cut cost in areas that have affected the play on the field. So would you rather have a playoff team with a winning record and be sitting at Canad Inns still or a crappy team for a few years and a nice stadium?
  2. Actually if Ottawa takes a teams QB then that team can protect 2 more NIs.
  3. I watched, but made good use of my PVR. With free Centre Ice right now, I was channel surfing between hockey games on Saturday. I'd go through the PVR of the Bombers game to see what was happening, but that was it. I blew through the entire game in maybe an hour, skipping ahead for most of the time we were on D. I did the same thing. Watched the first quarter PVRd the rest and went to the movies with the kids. Came back and just skipped through. First game I can remember truly not caring about....sad really! And BTW wow do you get free center ice?!? It's free for everyone until Oct. 19. I frickin' love it, but it may cost me my family if I keep it past then... On Shaw? I don't think I get it on Bell. Maybe I do IDK! I know it didnt get the last two Jets games damn BELL!!

  5. Anyone else not impressed with this?
  6. Well Kory Sheets went undrafted, was picked up by the Dolphins had one carry for 5 yards and was side lined with an achillies injury and never played in the NFL again....now look at him!
  7. The last 2 Friday games from the downs has been slow. The light at Waverly and Bishop is messed up and is only letting like 3 cars through a light! It hasn't always been like this and we have made it to the game in 30 min or less for most games. Once the light issue is fixed it should be back to normal. Also the route seems to change from driver to driver. Some take the perimeter to wilkes, some take it to grant some take it to pembina some take back roads. All are within a few minutes of each other and I have found it to be a great option. Also for those who want pre and post game shows. Ask the bus drivers to put the radio on for the bus. Most have gladly turned it on for us to listen to on the way there or back. I always take a radio anyways just in case
  8. Full on meltdown mode at RF.com. Amazing how fast the beast Rider team ever is falling apart... On a similar note. Paul W said on TSN1290 last week that the Bombers win over the Riders on the Banjpo Bowl is now less impressive becuase they lost 2 more games after that.....That's a pretty dumb comment to make. The Bombers beat the Riders hands down with Sheets playing and they were mostly uninjured at the time. If anything it's more impressive that they managed to take the #1 team down about 15 notches and expose them for who they really are.
  9. Would you rather no sponsors and have to pay more to attend games? I think I'd rather have a government corps use this as a tax break and aleviate some of the cost on the fans. If not ticket prices would likely soar forcing fans to stay home. And you don't HAVE to use MB hydro. You could pay Saskpower to come install a line to your house if you really want! No you can't, at least not if Hydro says you can't --- C.C.S.M. c. H190 The Manitoba Hydro Act Powers of corporation with approval of L. G. in C. 16(1) With the approval of the Lieutenant Governor in Council the corporation may © require any person generating, transmitting, distributing, or supplying power, to supply such power to the corporation as the board may from time to time require or designate; (d) within such territorial or other limits as the Lieutenant Governor in Council may from time to time prescribe, control and regulate the development, generation, transmission, distribution, and supply, of power in Manitoba, and, for any of those purposes, control and regulate the flow of, and right to use for the generation of power, or any purpose connected therewith, the water in any lake, river, or watercourse, or other body of water in Manitoba, and the taking, diversion, storage, or pondage of any such water; Too much reading for a Friday. I suppose if you got approval and had enough money you could but really whats the point? Still I'd rather have any support for the club then no support at all!

  11. I'm not sure how I missed this in the news and on here but the Bombers signed 3 Crown corporations to sponsorship deals back in August. http://www.ipolitics.ca/2013/08/09/winnipeg-blue-bombers-sign-sponsorship-deals-with-three-manitoba-crown-corporations/ It's good to see MPI is coving the cost of the park and ride and all the bus services as I was worried that ticket proces might go up if they started charging for the park and ride service. Good to see all the support!
  12. There has been no key jungling as the last two home games have been a win and OT. But I get your point.
  13. We saw it last night where BC was able to strech the field and get a walk off FG for the win. All we needed was one or two quick passes and step out of bounds and maybe a strong run up the gut for FG range. I know SD missed earlier in the game but i'm sure he could have at least kicked it through the back of the end zone. Whats the harm in throwing to the outdise near the sideline? It's likely not going to get picked off. Absoutly brutal call by who ever made the call.
  14. "This Paul McCallum guy is terrible! He needs to go!" -Roy Shivers (circa 2005)
  15. Bucks in and has been sacked twice already. Looks as good as he did in wpg. Garrett with a nice grab at the end of the half although looks like he never maintained possession but are ruling it a TD. Pretty slow game thus far.
  16. I know someone who takes the train from Regina for all the Bomber games from Regina. You too should hook up!
  17. I think Burke is better then Greg Marshall......but that's about it!
  18. Burke said today that Boltus is now 2nd string.....So if I remember correctly Goltz went second, first, third, first, second, third? Did I miss one?!?
  19. Tbrak is appealing the fine according to many over at RF.com
