I lold, a day in the life of a bomber fan

I'm right there with you guys. Eastern semi against HAM might be the greatest game I've personally attended. Upper deck, East side, South endzone... we had parkas and snow pants, hot chocolate, and wool blankets. The guys sitting next to my wife was in jeans and a pathetic winter wind-breaker type of thing... my wife might have saved that guy's life by sharing a blanket with him lol. Will never forget Garrett and his 'final play at CanadInns'

Remember when they wanted the new stadium to have a retractable roof? Might not have been a bad idea, of course it may have delayed the finish another 7 seasons and it would have probably fallen in as soon as they tried to open/shut it. hind sight is 20/20, and makes my eyes dry. Makes the turf dry too though.

No one has ever questioned his ability to be a great ST coach.
For better or for worse, he views it as a full third of the game and spends a lot of practice time on teams.

I think they are doing a lot to support Willy. The players around him are better. His receivers and running back and yes, even his offensive line is better than last year. The short passes are designed to build confidence, build momentum and space out the field. I would argue they have done quite a lot to support him and that those short passes are the only thing keeping his numbers looking decent. I would be interested to see the split, because if we threw more intermediate and deep routes I don't think Willy's numbers will look near as good.  He underthrew several deep balls today - including one near the end when he had Dressler open for a moment for a game-winning TD.

I am not pining for Glenn.  I think Orridge should mandate a trade between Calgary and Winnipeg where Calgary gives Winnipeg Tate, purely because it's just not fair that we have to go through yet another year of pure suckage at QB.  

While where at it
 
 
 

We have a stack of DVDs of basically every televised game from 2000-2006, I think....might be more. He had a bunch, then ol' Blue Fan Brent (rip) got him a pile more that he had in his collection. They're a blast to go through...

He was the perfect RB because he had the moves but could also handle the dirty work.  Scat backs that require clean holes are a dime a dozen and are here today, gone tomorrow.

Charlie's elusiveness, burst, vision and ability to cut on a dime was truly remarkable... I don't think we've seen a RB in the CFL like him since... watching old clips of Charlie and Milt makes me wish I appreciated them more when they were here...

This one is fun to watch too...ah the memories...
 

I'll never forget one of my first distinctive YouTube videos being of Mike Sellers running all over the Saskatchewan Rough Riders to rap music. Good times. Sellers truly was too good for the CFL.

There's a lot of younger posters on this site... but I doubt anyone is young enough to not remember Mike Sellers...

Been waiting my entire life for a cup (24 years) and I'll wait another 50 more if I have to.  When we finally get one, we'll have earned it as fans. 

Here's to Willy playing a decent 4 quarters, an improved effort from the front 4 and lots of great kicking by Medlock.
Massoli looked poor last week, maybe we pull a BC and win.

Just a reminder, this franchise does have a winning past. If we can't be proud of the present, we can still be proud of it ... we can hope for better days ahead.














  

Id take a pass only cuz I like marshall, and if cottons healthy thats a perfectly fine running duo. Not sure either if messam would need a ni backing him up. If volny is still on the roster, I wasnt too sold on him

From a marketing and ticket sales standpoint, the prospect of promoting a new offence featuring Drew Willy, Andrew Harris and Weston Dressler coached by Paul LaPolice would be a huge coup. It would make people forget about the Marcel Bellefeuille era pretty quickly. 

As a Bomberfan I've learned to temper my excitement about these possible signings ...
 

The last thing I would want is fans voting in board members every year.  Its not a perfect system but if you have people that care about the team and have experience in running various businesses, that *should* be a positive.  I know Asper gets a lot of heat but that guy bleeds blue & gold.  And I think he did learn to temper his "enthusiasm" a bit as the years went on.  And regardless of the Stadium issues, he spearheaded the campaign that resulted in IGF existing.
And has been said, the BOD hires the President.  And there you have it.  If they make a mistake there, sure, thats a problem.  But if the coach is a bad hire or the GM brings in less than stellar players, Im not sure I can get on board with replacing the BOD, especially with a group elected by fans.
