They do not sell those in Saskatchewan. Makes them feel inadequate.

That's how I saw it. At the very least, there wasn't enough solid evidence to overturn the call.

Bomber fans 33% off
Hamilton fans 12% off
That is one hell of a pitch.

I'm not sure if we missed the 10th Anniversary yesterday? Was this posted?

That's the key point. I trust Walters when it comes to free agency. He's mostly been on point, doesn't overpay and when he hasn't (like Chris Matthews, Adarius Bowman) he moves on quickly.
Winning the Grey Cup actually puts the Bombers in an even better position from a free agent perspective. We have options, depth, and now current players will likely want to stay even more. Other free agents may want to join the current Grey Cup champs. Sure seemed like Willie Jefferson wants to stay based on his comments at the parade. We're in a position of strength.

Great! I could use a fresh one of these.
Backed up by a case or two of this.
When I'm done with them, wrap me in a Bomber scarf and stick me in one of these.

umm.... yeah. Hanging out with hundreds of other Bomber fans in the first few rows as the clock wound down, cheering and hugging people you've never met!
Besides winning the actual game, when Gabe ran out on to the field and as he was about to get interviewed by CTV about to go live, I helped get a huge "DANCING GABE" chant going that went through most of his interview. No one deserved the win more than Gabe, and that was my 1A moment of the weekend!

the watcher got a reaction from kelownabomberfan in GREY CUP - GAME DAY THREAD - Ticats @Bombers!
The high point of that had to be trying to get a guy who has never seen a CFL game to do the color.Dead air and a deer in the headlight look

I'm going to include myself so, thanks. I fell in love with this team 50 years ago and have witnessed a few Grey Cup victories but this was the best one by far. Welcome to my Blue Bomber family!

Getting Collaros and Nichols for pennies on the dollar and trading Willy for a modest return are three incredible moves that shaped not only our team to respectability but to eventual Grey Cup champions. Walters deserves a lot of credit as well!

Could not have gotten here without Matt Nichols. His leadership marked the change of course for this organization towards the right direction, in 2016

I need to stop reading this thread at work, there is always another story that gets the tears streaming...
By 2000 I had given up on the Bombers but was hired by a great man that had a 1991 ring. He worked on my for years, gave me his tickets for some games but shirts for all the staff every time they appeared in the Cup. 2007 I got my own season tickets, I lost my father in 2009 and never got him to a game, lost my professional mentor in 2010 and he never saw the new stadium or another Grey Cup for the Bombers.
I know you watched Bruce, thank you for re-kindling my fandom.

You're forgetting Willy-Peg. A short but sweet period where it looked like we had finally found our QB. Unfortunately, we had yet to find our O-line.

I don't post much, but I read pretty much every comment made on MBB.
I just have to say that I'm still coming to grips with the fact that we are Grey Cup Champs!
After the last game against Hamilton, I was really down, sitting in the stands and questioning how such a promising season could have gone so wrong, how a team could be so cursed. My wife said that all teams have losses like this and to stay positive.
Trading for Collaros provided some hope. Didn't quite know what to expect though. 4 games later, and he will go down as a Blue Bomber legend! The way Lapo used him and Streveler was brilliant!
Andrew Harris played the game of a lifetime in the Grey Cup (or for Harris, a game he has 5 times a season)! Couldn't have asked for a better performance! And screw all of the haters!
The D was amazing in the playoff run! Props to Richie Hall for coming through big time when it counted! Jefferson and Jeffcoat were absolute BEASTS in the GC! Giving up 3 tds in 3 games? Crazy!
Medlock was money all playoffs. Thought he should have been an all-star for his punting. But now he's Grey Cup champ, so I'm sure he'd take that in a heartbeat.
It's funny how things turn out. I've been a season ticket holder for 12 seasons. A fan for much, much longer than that. I've been through so many ups and downs (many more downs). Of all of the years that we could have won the cup, so many crazy things had to happen right this year to do it! This was our year!
Winnipeg Blue Bombers, 2019 Grey Cup Champions! Has such a good ring to it! 😁

the watcher reacted to Booch in 2019 GREY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!
Interesting of note on the much maligned Richie Hall defense...In 3 play-off games we gave up 2 touchdowns...the last of which was in 2nd Quarter of the first game...10 quarters ago...had 9 sacks...and pressures up the ying yang...5 forced fumbles..6 Int's...and basically all done on the road....tell me that's not a dominant defense when it mattered most??
Forgot to add...was it 3 or 4 stuffs on 3rd and 1 attempts to get ball back??

As I said in a different thread..He really came on and I think we have discovered Sayles 2.0...guy had a great play-offs and yup...he batted that ball outta Jone's hands
