Some of you guys have some sweet collections.
 
I have a 97-04 Navy Blue.  My wife bought it for me and it has a #71 but only on the back because she didn't realize football jerseys have numbers on both sides.  It's hilarious.
I also have 05-11 Stegall home jersey.  It has the 2006 Grey Cup patch on it which is kind of cool.
I have a 12-15 home which I call my Premier's jersey because it has no name or number.  It looks like the kind of jersey the Premier would wear over a dress shirt to a Grey Cup event.  Something his advisors handed him 5 minutes before his speech to try to look like a man of the people.  I just never liked any of the players on recent teams enough to get it named and numbered.  Or more accurately I never trusted any of the players to be around long enough to make it worth the expense. 
This year, I got a new Royal Blue Andrew Harris jersey and it's sweet as ****.
 

Truthfully, that's not far off of how Reinbold got the job.
Seriously though. I'm not in favour of firing Walters and I think this team's talent level is higher than its performance.  But if you want to say he sucks I can't argue with you as much as I might want to.  The record speaks for itself. 
 

Dwayne Slay.  Most popular guy on the forums of all time pretty much based on a highlight video and a cool name.  Got cut in camp.  Then for like four years people were still posting, "do you think we should bring back Dwayne Slay?"

The $50 gift card I got for winning this thing a couple years ago went toward the Harris 33 jersey I'll be sporting for the first time tonight.  I hope I don't spill too many $5 beers on it.

I'm tempted to call this the most Bomber thing ever but that's an overreaction.  It will only be the most Bomber thing ever if he's day to day for four weeks, comes back and is ineffective for four weeks, gets hurt again, and is released in the off-season by the new management.

Yeah just find another Canadian to play Tackle.  No problem.

I agree with the spirit of that statement and have no problems with our western neighbours also having nice things,
BUT
My tolerance for their goatlike blowhard braying is very limited, and they have not demonstrated the ability to control it.  Unfortunately, this is almost certain to make me finally launch the nukes at them.

I really don't see a scenario where MOS comes of looking so bad he gets fired while LAPO comes off looking so good he gets promoted.  Their fates are tied to each other.

Did I read somewhere in the last couple of days that Lapo was going to be the Receivers Coach or was I just drunk?  Or maybe both?

Yeah, there's a chance. But the cost would be high. Probably 3 or 4 scouts and some support staff..

Can we please leave politics out of this? I can list off many faults with political parties at all different levels and different affiliations. Corruption and mismanagement exists everywhere. Part of the reason I enjoy sports is to get away from that garbage please check your garbage at the door. There are plenty of other places to spout infective.

Your friend is right that people that live 2.5 hours from the venue are less likely to attend an event than people who live within 25 minutes.  And they are particularly less likely to pre-commit to attending 10 such events.  But believe me when I say Highway 11 is a busy busy place on Rider game days. 
The Riders are without question the most dominant, best ingrained, most passionately supported brand in Saskatoon.  I can't disagree with you more strongly that "they aren't that big a deal there."  As far as devotion to the team there is no difference between Regina and Saskatoon or Regina and PA or Regina and North Battleford.  There might be less people able to attend the games but there aren't any less people wearing green and trash talking Winnipeggers.
To suggest they would flick a switch and abandon their life long favourite team and their parent's favourite team and their parent's parent's favourite team one day and furtermore have a rivalry with that team is just not happening. 
Ultimately this issue will never be settled because their will never be a CFL team in Saskatoon.  At least not unless some crazy **** goes down like all the Eastern teams fold and the league becomes a smaller western only operation.  Ask yourself why that is?
It's fine for you in Calgary or me in Winnipeg to say this is what Saskatoon should want or should do.  But they don't want that.  And there has never been any semi-serious discussion amongst Saskatoon's political or business leadership about bringing a CFL team to Saskatoon.  In their view they already have one. 

Well we will have to agree to disagree.  Unless you tell me you wear your jersey tucked into your pants.  Then we are headed for a flame war.

You're right that fans can put whatever they want on jerseys.  You could put Thornton #14 on a modern jersey.  You could put Gretzky #99 on a Jets jersey too.  They would both be equally incorrect.  And I would mock you.  Nothing personal.  It doesn't make you less of a fan.  It just makes you a fan wearing a jersey that makes no sense.  Like I said, I'm a snob about such things.

Personalized jerseys I can sort of abide by. 
 
Knock off jerseys and incorrect jerseys like a modern Jets jersey with "Hawerchuk" on it deserve to be mocked. 

Maybe Bucknor wouldn't get beat for 60 yard post pattern touchdowns every second game if we had more than one guy who could rush the passer?
