The chat room does't do it for me ... I miss the 15 page game day threads from yesteryear

I see various amounts of optimism and pessimism on this forum .... woes of our weaknesses expounded and glee about our new bright spots
 
What I am the happiest about is the new structure of leadership,  player management and talent search .... salivating really I am .... what ever bumps and bruises we have to endure in the short run I believe our long term prospects have never been better in decades

I love Thursday games in the summer & Saturday nights in the fall ...
 
too much to do Friday nights & daytime on weekends
 
Thursdays mean I can totally focus on the game without worry, obligation or compromise

Agreeing with other posters that Glenn is as good as the personnel around him .... BC doesn't have all their stuff this year and its going to be a long struggling season for them unless Buono gets an airlift of yanks in the door ... he is good at it

I am not sure I am inspired by this video .. I have seen more fans at our local high school game ... didn't see great speed ... did see his ability to go to open spaces and cut back against the grain .... yawn

As a child I used to wait for the Tribune and Jack Matheson's column to arrive after school … then waiting for dad to come home from work so I could tell him the Bomber's latest news ….

I suggest the Bombers go to a fan elected Board of Governors for our beloved Big Blue:
 
1. Hold elections once a year for 4 board members
 
2. Each season ticket holder has 1 vote .... no one else has any votes
 
3. Term is 3 years
 
4. 12 elected Governors in all (so the board is completely turned over every 3 years)
 
5. Nominations for elections come from both the club and the general public.
 
6. No successive terms of office i.e. no re-elections to a 2nd term ... must sit out for at least 3 years before being nominated again
 
7. The board (through change in its constitution) must become more transparent with many of its affairs especially and including a detailed budget.
 
Would you like to see a community elected BOD over the Blue Bombers?

I see Khari as a Pinball Clemons type of leader ... and I believe we need that smiling positivity more than anything

I can't ever remember so many QBs all FA at once …. doesn't give Ottawa much to pick from especially if we trade for Tate

I have heard many complaints about Max Hall's arm, his throwing strength. While his errant passes do seem to typically sail away too high (how many does he throw in the dirt?), I really like the way he throws:
 
 
"And that's this -- the 466 yards of net offence registered on Saturday by the much-maligned Bombers offence was the most by any team in the CFL over the weekend.... their combined 775 yards of offence over the last two weeks -- they had 309 yards in a win over Montreal two weeks ago -- is second best in the CFL during that period, behind only Calgary's 785 yards....then there's been the much-improved Bombers receiving corps in recent weeks. Clarence Denmark has played his best football in his three seasons in Winnipeg during the past five weeks, hauling down an eye-popping 28 catches for 410 yards during that period. Aaron Kelly, rescued from the CFL scrap heap after he was released by Hamilton, has looked great in a Bombers uniform and is definitely a keeper. And so too is former NFLer Mike Sims-Walker, who replaced an injured Kelly versus Toronto and did nothing less than lead the team with eight catches for 137 yards in his first CFL start."
 
Yes, we need another starting QB but I don't see us as desperate at QB as a few weeks sago.

We needed Wade Miller on the field to go offside for us
