Apparently a 90 year old lady named June has been sent to Calgary and the game by her family for her birthday. She has been a Bomber fan from the days when they were playing at the Osborne stadium and will be an honoured guest at the pre-game festivities. Good on her!

No tears for Babcock. He was at odds with his GM from Day One, his team was sinking and he has a contract until 2004 at 6.5 million per.

Speak for yourself, John.

Disagree. No city is perfect, but I have lived in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan and this is an imperfect but great city.

I would think tht he would be less qualified to be a GM than a head coach.

If the Bombers have to lose the Grey Cup game, I cannot think of a team more deserving than Hamilton.

This sure feels like pure speculation. How has Penton's predictive track record been in the past? Walters has done a very good job and would be a real loss but may have had issues with O'Shea's personnel management (ie: Drew Willy) and O'Shea's stubbornness. Can't help thinking that O'Shea would be a real fan draw in the Big Smoke. And who says Goveia has the credentials to become a head coach.?

Consider IPTV- no PVR functions but the right provider makes it work well for about $8.00 per month including HBO, lotsa movie channels and all the sports networks.

You gotta be careful about what you say to your wife. I once told my wife that I wanted to be cremated and she made an appointment for me the following Tuesday.

You have been fortunate. Some guys, after bringing something like that up, wouldn't have any balls left to be in their court.

To win the Cup, the Bombers will have to play the best game of the year, and a flawless one at that. The Bombers are underdogs for good reason but that is no to say that they cannot win. The defence will have to be better and not give up those 10-15 passes and the offence will have to show up for the whole game.

It would have been "nicer" if Jeffcoat checked on Fajardo after laying him out in the backfield in a clean, devastating hit.

How could this be as they both played defence and would not have been on the field at the same time.

Are you a vegan? If so, does that mean you can't have a beef with anyone? Do you drool at the smell of freshly-mowed lawns?

Religious debate is weird- people arguing about whose invisible friend is the best.

Wimp.

You're just saying that because Rich slipped you a tenner.

And they have gotten Tasker back as well.

To physically abuse a mortally wounded equine, the run/pass option play works only so long as both the run and the pass are effective options. Streveler's passing was never a viable option in that game.

I am of the opinion that the win was solely caused by a certain poster here decorating his bosses' car with a Bomber sticker.

Thought he was in Lower Slobovia.

I was impressed by Dickenson's lack of hissy-fits on the sidelines and how well he took the tough loss. Similarly, I have to give full marks to Fajardo. He went from being one short step from being unemployed to a clutch performance that nearly won the Big Game. If he was really in pain, more kudos to him. Too bad the rest of the Rider players and fans did not show similar class.

Welcome.

I am as elated as anyone else about this victory and that the Bombers are going to the Cup game. That said, we scraped by in spite of a offensive game plan that went almost totally dormant in the second half, a defence that got riddled by a gibbled quarterback and with the help of divine intervention. There is no other way to describe it. When Fajardo rolled to his left at the Bomber goal line at the second last possession, he looked to be a shoo-in, but tripped over a fallen Rider lineman, and then on the last possession, he hits the uprights. Next week, this level of performance by the offence and the tendency of the d-backs to give up big plays just isn't going to cut it. And, to echo what others have said today, LaPolice is a problem for this team, and if O'Shea is bullheaded enough to keep him, then they both should go.

No question, the football gods were with us today!! Going to Calgary, but we're gonna haveta play a damned sight better that this putrid offensive display.
