That’s the thing. I don’t see this as a game.

Lots of assumptions being made by you here about his state. It is possible that if someone accused you of an assault (which is what has been reported), you would be detained, and when the video evidence shows otherwise (which has also been reported) you would be released without charge, and that could still take a few hours. Trust me on that.

Right, I meant exerted their offensive will.

I sung the anthem on the natural grass field at the stadium. OR I saw Bob Cameron’s rookie season.

Just a reminder that the Riders led by 2 at the half of the Labour Day game and trailed by only 3 at the half of the Banjo Bowl. Bombers started to exert their will in the third quarter of each game and pulled away in the 4th both times. We should not be alarmed if the game is tight after 30 minutes, Bombers have been a second half/4th quarter team all year.

There is a shuttle arranged by the club to run straight to the arena from the stadium. Game should be done by 6, hockey starts at 7.

Guy has one win but two shutouts this year. On pace for his 3rd tonight.

For -24 yards! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This type of post never derails a thread. Solid words, kudos to you for your fight and for a great message. Post of the year!

Great post. Was remembering the Banjo Bowl and the fight they started after the details of the spit/Lemon ejection came out. Harris was lucky not to get tossed for the helmet rip, clearly they baited Lemon and got away with it. Would not be surprised to see them try it again.

Noeller, I was not aware of your battle. Thank you for sharing, and I hope you are managing it all OK. Keep strong, and if you ever need anything or need an ear to listen, do not hesitate to ask. I think some anxiety here is completely normal, and healthy. We have all been scarred by past failures and disappointments, and as much as Rider bashing is a sport here, they have talent that can rise up and should be respected, if not feared. But I like the calm mentality that has pervaded this Bomber team. 1-0 is the goal each week, so I feel better that the 2001 overconfidence will not be as much of an issue. Quiet confidence, that is the mantra. Both Sask and Calgary played a “who wants to lose it more?” game Sunday, I would be stunned if the Bombers did not turn 4 turnovers into more than the 10 points Calgary could muster. Also think the LaPo “protect the ball” mantra will play to form with Collaros and Buck. Feeling good, confident, but not cocky.

I know. I could only afford to buy three at that price……🤣🤣🤣

That price is child’s play compared to this: https://www.thebomberstore.com/limited-edition-commemorative-grey-cup-opener.html

So, who’s picking the Riders? 🤣🤣🤣

So, from a purely “best for the Bombers” scenario, who are our best to worst match-ups? And none of this “it doesn’t matter who we play” bravado, clearly some opponents are better than others. I am hoping for Sask to win today since I think Calgary can exploit our secondary with a quick pass game more, and they have a better running back. But I think Calgary has the edge if I am betting on the game. In the East I will take Hamilton to win over Montreal, and I think we match up better against them than the Als and their running game. With Arbuckle gone the Argos are not as intimidating either. From most favourable to least favourable opponent I would say: 1. Riders 2. Argos 3. Ticats 4. Als 5. Stamps But I could be convinced to swap Toronto and Hamilton’s positions.

I’m no fan of anyone named Tkachuk, but biting during a fight when the linesmen are engaged should be a 10 game suspension minimum. But of course player safety only suspends the stars and ignores the goons and the after the whistles cheap stuff.

And Connor-Scheifele-Wheeler leads the way. The haters will be upset. Gutsy win but they were playing pretty nervously the entire 3rd.

I’m hardly the best at it, but I open google to search for what I want (in this case “football in the groin gif”) click on the images tab, right click and copy the image I want, then go to “insert image” and paste the URL link, and it usually works.

Well, at least curling is on.

Heard this every year since 2019. Correction, heard this every year since 2015 except for 2018.

What makes you think Boudreau would get us where Maurice hasn’t? Boudreau’s whole history is good to great regular season followed by spectacular flameouts early in the playoffs. And it’s all fine and good to complain about Wheeler, but he not going to be traded because of that contract, if he is waived we are still on the hook for his salary I believe, and benching him just eats up salary without a player. If we are looking for a panic move, then Scheifele should go on the block. Players who are previously clean and not tough guys who get a big suspension go one of two ways - they smarten up and get motivated to be better (Like Nikita Kucherov did after his playoff suspension) or they shrivel and become worse because they get afraid of becoming a repeat offender or change their game to be the tough guy without skill (Bertuzzi is the most obvious example). I don’t see Scheifele rebounding from that suspension yet.

And what will firing the coach actually accomplish?

Everyone seems to “know” that they are a cancer in the locker room, but what is the basis of that. Because they get the most ice time? Funny how your top scorers get that. What bad “culture” have they brought. What inside intel do you have? But let’s play this out…..you can’t just cut these guys, you are still stuck with their contracts. Who is taking on Wheeler right now at his age and contract? And who do we get for Scheifele a trade? Who are our new leaders then?
