I honestly hope the CFL starts to understand that BIG EVENTS, need the proper infrastructure to be successful. I'm 100% serious the only reason I didn't go to that game was because of the location. I can't spend all that money, and still be in Regina. I'm honestly not trying to be personally attacking the city. But I just couldn't fathom spending at minimum $1000 all said and done, and that's my destination. Never mind the headache of previous GC's held there - lack of hotel space/lack of restaurants etc etc etc. If it was in Van city, I'm there. Litterally anywhere else and I would have gone. I was hoping there would be a decent amount of empty seats and that the CFL would take notice. The 1st part has happened...will the CFL change how they present that game? Who knows. Also, it's not IGF West because the Bombers beat the snot out of the Argos there...you knew that right?

Bombers AND Argos are second half teams. Should be a great finish!

Gotta give it to MBT. He's been standing in the pocket and taking a beating already.

Also. Never want to hear about the "great" CFL fans in ssk. Not showing up cause your teams not in it is a joke. Tickets were sold, so that's good. But the images of empty seats like this on the leagues biggest night is pure embarrassing.

Apparently there's a decent wind.

Lots of empty seats

I'm getting sick of Dutchy go on and on about crider fans and their stadium

Exactly, this is what I meant more than anything. TO is going to do what TO does. WPG is gonna do what WPG does. Maybe coaches come on boards from time to time etc...but when this thread was created, the game plans had been established for days. Us talking about anything, changes nothing for either team regardless of who sees what.

Lol there isn't a coach on either team that is going to look at this site today....nevermind trying to implement some new game plan because of what they read here! Lol

Credit to Pinball for saying that the game between the 2 teams earlier this year doesnt mean anything, saying the game got out of hand early and the Bombers let their foot off the gas. Also lol at TSN. Lapo did a segment with a youth team explaining a certain type of run play and like mid way through you could just see a couple finger tips on the screen. Lol. I'm assuming it was filmed on a cell phone...but like damn, how are you just letting that go? TSN just constantly putting their best foot forward when it comes to showcasing the CFL!

I agree that he hasn't earned it. But I still think BC puts him up there.

He'll be the highest paid player in the league.

I've been saying for a while nownthat I thought there would be a decent amount of empty seats. There's a bunch of tickets for sale and they don't look like they're selling. As bad as that would look, I would hope it signals to the CFL that Regina shouldn't be hosting Grey Cups. Not as often as they have anyways.

I'm rewatxhing the 2019 grey cup. And just finished the drive where Brandon Banks gets the ball too many times lol

Harris comes out of the tunnel after halftime in a Bomber uniform

Its likely just not something that can happen. The CFL can't just decide to give there broadcasters competition a game every week. Part of their deal (i'm assuming) is that TSN has the exclusive rights to the CFL. In 2026 they'll likely look at options. But until then anyone who thought that could happen was dreaming imo. It was honestly just a weird question to ask even.

He seems like the type to stay loyal.

And I'd bet a lot of Money, Washington drafts a QB this off season.

Was it on here that someone broke down Rourkes first 9 games and compared them to Zachs last nine? I swear I saw that some where...but I can't seem to find it now

Has nothing to do with talent. Starting qbs will basically only be draftees from here on forward. Teams want that big name kid. More political than anything.

Yeah thats a risk. But I'd say there's way more examples where it works out exactly as planned that we just never hear about.

Lol I'm just kidding. I know Bomberfan85 personally and he's a solid dude.

If I were grading your paper you would receive an F. I honestly thought you'd have a legitimate source lol. I'm not saying it didn't happen. But if this situation was reversed, there's not a chance in hell you'd accept "twitter" as a source. I mean, at the very least name the account. Ideally you'd share the actual tweet. Honest question. What's stopping BC and Rourke from having a gentleman's agreement in place. BC cuts Rourke making him a FA. Only to turn around and re-sign him for a regular contract?

Source?

There's no guarantees in football. His next snap in the CFL could be his last. There's also no loyalty. If he sucks next year you think BC is going to hold on to him because they're loyal? You think anyone in BCs management team is saying he should drop the NFL because BC gave him an opportunity? When it comes to the amount of wealth he has an chance to make, you take it. It is quite literally once in a lifetime. That's the rush. He may never get another NFL look again but you think he should ignore them so he can look like he's a nice guy? Lol. This is business. Not summer camp.
