White Out

Having lived in Calgary for longer than Winnipeg, I almost forget the 80's as a small kid and the old Stadium. One of my favourite memories was when we beat the Argos in the east final and they let the fans on the field to cross over to get to their exits( or we just stormed the field I dunno). That year and that Cup was the last championship for 29 years... is hard to even fathome it now. Having known nothing but pain as a Bomber fan all my adult life, the one vivid memory above all else (well 2) was when they brought the Grey Cup past section B where I was sitting. I was only a few rows away as they walked it past us. All the years of heart break watching the Riders and Stamps and Lions hoist it in front of us. The unfinished business bullshit. All that awful ****, 29 years of it, sticking it out cuz I am a Bomber fan to the death, it all made that one moment unreal. I could cry thinking about it, how I felt. 29 years of suffering, and it was ours again. The Bombers aren't just my team, they're an important link to my home and childhood. When the Bombers win and we all celebrate, I'm happy for our city and my fellow Bomber fan. I'll never forget the Grey Cup being a few feet from me, what a memory. The rest of it is all pretty awesome but that one memory and moment in time is hard coded in my brain. I'll never forget it and will cherish it.

I had a brief downtime at work today and happened to pay a little more attention to my framed picture of the 2019 Grey Cup, which has my ticket in it, and, a picture of Bighill holding the Cup with the confetti all around. I love this picture because I actually have confetti from the field in my framed picture, a nice little touch I'm tickled pink that I thought to do on the game. That got me to thinking about the day and weekend, now I want to know: how was your Grey Cup weekend/game experience in 2019? I want to hear from people who travelled to Calgary for the game or also are transplants and had the luck to live here for our 1st championship in 29 years. Regale me!

Agree. He really should have made that montreal kick, but, nailing a 55 yarder on the Labour Day to win easily erases that bad taste from my mouth.

anyone have a video of that dodged punt block?

It's called Illegal contact my dude

LOL @ op. What an idiot

Legs 55 yarder was unreal.

What an awful punt

Those dirty pigs take a cheap shot on our quarterback

Wtf is with these slow moving huddles?

Omg,! ******* yes!

This has to be one of the worst performances by our D in a long time, I can't believe that the riders only have 18 points

Can we stop making this guy look like Joe Montana

Holy **** what a kick!

With our D giving up so many yards I dunno

What a chickenshit call

How do you let that happen when you have the wind in the fourth? Unacceptable

Rider players thugs per usual

I can't get over how ******* soft our secondary is

Bombers late to the line and the in bred yokels taking credit

We need a DT and we need one really bad

They're playing bad.

God this ******* defense today

Nothing is ever guaranteed with a command center, but at least they didn't screw that up

What a crazy 2nd half of that... Half
