    I hope to see a lot of Bomber fans out here today! Our hotel is packed with them. 
    Have fun, be safe and don't, under any circumstances, drink Pilsner. 
    Go Bombers!

    Gameday! Get ready for action!
    I still get more excited about this game than almost any other one on the schedule, even though we get our asses kicked pretty much every year. The prospect of going into Regina and beating them on Labour Day just makes it feel like Christmas morning.
    The Bombers have had 7 starting quarterbacks for the LDC in the last decade, including Chris Streveler today. Let's see what the kid can do.

    Good luck guys and safe travels if anyone is on the road.  Be lots of football to talk about and argue about in the next couple weeks. Any thing can happen at labor day, we have all seen it many times before.

    I'm with you that the Bombers don't have a great recent track record finding import receivers. But, in fairness, both of those players mentioned were cut/traded by multiple CFL teams other than the Bombers. Montreal had Stafford around three times. Some players just don't fit with a team at a given time. Some need time to develop, and end up doing it elsewhere. It's not hockey where you can send a player to the Moose to develop. Matthews had two catches per game average. Not good enough, especially to justify a high'ish salary.

    I can't say I'm very surprised. I keep waiting for him to have a breakout game but never has. He's dropped lots of passes and hasn't used his physicality the way he did in the past. Disappointed but it's time to promote some players from the NFL.

    Observations on Santiago from training camp back in May. 
    Atomic- he was brought here by Oliviera, he can run back kicks as well. Had an insane freshman year in 2015 with 1459 rush yards and 16 tds. 
    Geeber- Santiago explosive on returns. I expect him to rip a long one next week. Ran the ball well in drills. 
                - Santiago is a dangerous returner. Better than Whitehead today
    Booch - ...and that Santiago has real good hands ...and once the ball is in his mitts you don’t know where he  going. He super shifty and fast with ball. 
    Me - Santiago made a terrific snag and a deceptive run on a screen play. 
    Thinking with no film on the guy, he might be a real surprise on the bad guys.

    Whoa. I don't think he's taking a pot shot at the riders in the quote above.
     
    The fact they have a  5 game streak due to sheer luck and a soft schedule despite being devoid of talent... that's a shot at the riders.

    It's not all bad, our heavily used star runningback gets a midseason break to rest up his body a bit and he comes back in the key part of the season with something to prove. We can beat the jackass green team without him.

    https://www.nutraingredients-asia.com/Article/2017/09/27/Undeclared-anabolic-steroids-discovered-in-sports-supplements-sold-in-NZ-and-Australia
    Interesting info regarding the notion of additives added that are anabolic..and this is just 2 of many...Just for those who "think" athletes using the anser that they were not aware it had banned substances in it...it is real
    Also from buying/importing supplements...and going to the Supplement Expo's in southern Cal...I know this happens, and actually when inquired why a products formula changed, or wasn't as effective as when it first came out...the developers explicitly said that a) the changed as they have hooked the market and removed the "ingredients" that gave it the extra umph..or b) FDA pulled their product and made them remove certain "ingredients"
    anyway...enough on this...it's happened...hopefully behind the scenes people are looking into the supplement to substantiate the Harris claim...which I believe..and we move on...It won't tarnish his reputation or legacy, and I bet now that he is under required testing moving forward..I bet he comes back even better and even more of a mission...win win for us...And hopefully the crowd at Banjo Bowl show him their support

    My position on Andrew Harris—I know how hard he trains, how dedicated he is and I refuse to believe he would risk tarnishing his image and legacy by knowingly taking steroids.  Virtually all players use supplements and it’s entirely believable one could be contaminated.

    I don’t really care about this outcome. He got caught doing something that is not legal in the sporting game. And so, he is being punished. Not going to comment on the validity of the results because I’m devoid of such knowledge.
    But, that steroid only kept him on the field. It did not affect his heart. By that I mean his desire was still there, and the effort cannot be questioned. He is still a great running ball. Only now, his accomplishments will be questioned. 
    Sad really, but he must have known that supplements cannot be trusted as they are not really regulated, if that’s his story.
    The results of testing are real. He was found to have positive amounts of a banned substance.
    But I can see him bouncing back, and putting in the necessary work, because that’s who he is.
    His fellow players are standing behind him, guilty or not, and I am too.
    I’ll be looking forward to his return.
