  1. Anyone else still in line for a beer and a Shwarma?  

    Honestly, the lines at the concessions need to move faster.  More runners, more beer taps, more cans, or less selection.  It took 19 minutes to get food for us at the short line west side upper concourse, and we were only behind 20 people.  Some lines were likely 100 people long. 
     

    Luckily, there weren’t lines at the washrooms.

  2. 2020 sucks.  

    Except the 2020 lager from Little Brown Jug.  I thoroughly enjoyed my tallboy yesterday, as I played the Kinsmen Jackpot Bingo.  Did you know the pot is over $1,050,000?  I'm glad Bingo is filling my Saturday evening entertainment needs rather than watching a good game of football, or driving to Regina for the Banjo bowl.

    I think the only way around all of this is to just go back to calling every team their city/province/state name lol.

    British Columbia British Columbians

    Calgary Calgarians

    Edmonton Edmontons

    Saskatchewan Saskatchewans

    Winnipeg Winnipegs

    Toronto Torontarians

    Montreal Montrealers

    Ottawa Ottawas

    Hamilton Hamiltons 

     

    Then no one can complain

    Or the soccer method:

    British Columbia Canadian Football Club (or the BCCFC) - Maybe it's time to change the name of British Columbia to just Columbia, since Colombia is spelled with an "o" and BC has Columbia spelled with a "u"

    Calgary Canadian Football Team (CCFT)

    Edmonton Green & Gold (EGG) - but they wear yellow...

    Saskatchewan Canadian Football Club (SCFC)

    Winnipeg's True Football Club of Canadian Football (WTFCCF)

    Toronto Football Club (TFC) - This should bring more people to the games (mistakingly)

    Hamilton Footballers of Canadian Football (HFCF)

    Ottawa RedBlacks (ORB)

    Montreal Argent, Rouge et Bleu (MARB))

  4. Favorite Blue Bombers - Matt Dunigan from 92-94, Juron Bolden, Stegall, and the Roberts/Sellers backfield

    Least Favorite Bombers

    - Matt Dunigan (1995, why did you have to leave?)

    - Darian Durant (but he turned into a Bighill)

    - Dominique Picard (Dirty player for us... Like,  Dirty player for them... Hate)

    - Brendan Labatte (traitor... Labatte's Blue)

    - Hufnagel (once he became a coach and GM)

    Collaros is done, he played in 5 games last year. What are you guys going to do when he goes down? 

    We'll let him rest, once he improves, we'll limp into the playoffs in 3rd place, take out the Stamps at home in the semi-final, walk into Regina and beat the Riders on a last 2nd playin the West final, then beat the East in the Grey Cup.  

    5 games is all we need.

    Crazy that all of the Bomber QBs from the '07 Grey Cup are head coaches in the CFL/NFL now (other than injured Glenn)

    I would use the term QB loosely and the only guy to play meaningful games after the 2007 Grey Cup was Kevin Glenn, and that was for the next decade.

    You are getting end of career buck mixed up with him in his prime 

    for sure he had several 300+ yard games and one game with almost 40 completions - I’m not mixed up...  gunslinger for 80-90% of his career

    Gonna agree with Brandon.  Buck didn’t have a full season as starter until he was in Winnipeg.  “In his prime” should refer to a season or three, not a series of 4 or 8 games...

     

    Khari was a gun slinger when he first came over.  5 and 6 receiver sets, high scoring games, 46 Passing TDs in a season...

    No worries. It was all planned. Having just moved to Windsor, we can now just drive to Hamilton or Toronto for games. To test the waters, so to speak. 
    I mean Hamilton’s a lot better than Regina, right?

    I said right?

    I went to a RedBlacks Hamilton game in full Blue bomber gear a couple years ago.  Everyone was very polite and talking to me.  Hamilton still loves O'Shea.

  9. I hope that O'Shea doesn't leave for a very long time.  All of this talk and the rumours reek of 2008 when Mike Kelly was hired and ditched Kevin Glenn.  Mike O'shea is a successful coach.  Mike does a great job of finding players that want to play for him, and getting the most out of them.  

     

    To win in the CFL, you don't need to be a 16-2 team every year.  Montreal/Baltimore and now Calgary prove that most years.  To win you need the following:

    1. Make it to the playoffs

    2. Stay healthy going into the playoffs

    3. Work Hard, get hot in the playoffs and keep the players engaged for the 3 weeks.

     

    Looking at the green grass on the other side of the fence isn't going to make the team's chances better.  Mike Kelly blew it when he ditched a QB who would lead a team to the playoffs every year and give the team the chance and hope that they could win.  Mike O'Shea's presence leading this team is much the same.   We will make the playoffs and which gives us a chance to win.  

    Faith, Hope and Destiny can be more than just stripper names in Winnipeg.

    "This has nothing to do with QBs and everything to do with LaPolice.  We don't make good adjustments at halftime.  We don't try to win the games, we hold on to try and not lose the games.

    These are our 2nd half points for the last 5 games against TOR-OTT-HAM-TOR-CGY.  We aren't scoring in the 2nd half.

    Some is due to fumbles, being stopped at the goal line, etc.  But as a team, we need to have the strong close out mentality and the offence needs to put some of these games in the bag."
