Interesting, does Harris stay? or does he have a new home?

Got me wondering why only 1 of the 3 QB's was at last nights function? Perhaps the end of season discussions has something to do with it? 

Serge...just a straight up beauty. 

It's close to Christmas... I'm sure some guys wanted to get home ASAP... I wouldn't read too much into it

I could see that happening, a two (2) QB system in Regina. Remember, Grey Cup in Saskatchewan, we know how they worked with the salary cap when they last hosted.... 
Just my observation on our QB's and what all u are saying, is possible/probable

Exactly my memories as well. Have had season tickets for 40 years now and have never quit on the team, but was most depressed during the Reinbold years and most frustrated in the Mack years. After 2013 was in the Bomber Store and saw a ticket rep who asked what I thought about the new stadium and I went off on how frustrated I was with the product on the field and how the team was driven into the ground. He said “Yeah. So, are you renewing your tickets?” like nothing I just said resonated. I answered “Well I am, but I’m starting to feel like a sucker giving you guys my money every year”. His sheepish grin and shrug to that comment reinforced how little that regime cared about the fans and how bad that culture was. If Wade Miller was not in place and Mack not gone I may have cancelled on the spot. Fortunately, two weeks later Walters was bumped up to GM and two weeks after that O’Shea was brought in. 
Wade’s culture shift has meant everything as his attitude permeates through how the club operates. Loyalty, respect, character, and most importantly accountability matter again. Without the wins that may not mean much, but it is the foundation upon which long-term success is built. In hindsight Dave Ritchie’s re-build was more flash in the pan, this feels more like a dynasty in the making. Not without it’s bumps, people were still calling for O’Shea’s head (and Hall’s, and LaPo’s) as recently as halftime of the 2019 West semi-final.
LaPo and Matt Nichols are two polarizing figures on this board, but their arrival really kick-started the upward trajectory once they replaced Bellefuille and Willy. We not only became contenders with them but crossed the goal line and became champions with them on board. I am indebted to them for their part in where this team is today. And I thank Mike O’Shea and Kyle Walters for displaying their loyalty to them when the “can’t win with them, get rid of them” noise built.
Thrilled at not only the championships but the state of this franchise now, a team to be admired and one you can feel truly good to be a fan of, proud but humble, respect their opponents but never fear them, genuinely care for each other and their fans, a first class operation with no egos or boasting or trash talking, any troubles are addressed quickly and professionally and do not blow up into long term scandals. Love what this team now represents. Thanks gentlemen. 

Quietly, BB have been introducing their rooks to the field all year.
Obviously Legghio had a lot of eyes on him and was under a ton of pressure to follow up on Money's play. But, if he survived 2021, he will only improve next year. 
Then there is Kramdi, O'Leary-Orange, and Cadwallader. These guys, (especially Cad, who played in 14 games) are all going to hit the ground running in 2022. Even Kolankowski played (although not a rook) and could make an impact next year.

I call "BS" to his report by Arash Madani & 3 Down ... Wally Buono (won't let this happen doing Grey Cup week) has been hired to oversee the hiring & interviewing of the Elk openings... If this news came out next week, say Tue/Wed, I would put some stock into it... 
during Grey Cup*

Absolutely.  If  Bombers are in it I'm at home with 1 or 2 friends. Any chatting  is left for commercials. That's the way they like it too.
If Bombers aren't in it I'm much more casual. 

Material for the bulletin board! But our team doesn't need that as they will go 1 - 0 this week....

Nice gesture by the enemy:

  Hamilton Tiger-Cats   @Ticats   Last night we honoured the great @BobIrvingCJOB for his incredible contributions to the CFL. He might not wear the jersey , but he’ll be back as our guest of honour at the 2023 Grey Cup in Hamilton, to enjoy it as a true CFL fan. Congratulations & enjoy retirement, Bob!    

They got the ownership right but they forgot to correct the Home Field name to IGF West.

Anybody else pissed off the Riders ran out during Bob's ceremony? Classless group lead by the elder ****.

Jokes on you Mother Nature... I had a vasectomy last weekend. Freezing my nuts off is now meaningless!

yeah faj really thinks he's a legit qb and maas always likes to air it out. I don't think they have the patience to stick with the running game throughout. Not to mention I question if Powell has the stamina to grind out an entire game being old as ****. Not to mention their OL is more likely to tire compared to the heavy rotation the Bombers throw at teams in the front 7. 
 
The Bombers are built to grind out games in whatever form that takes. The Riders are built to hope for mistakes and capitalise. 

No problem, Re..... was just passing on info to the entire group, wasn't meant as a shot at you. 

Not that I will defend Rider Nation or its players, but Micah Johnson lost his father a couple weeks back and was attending/doing a family virtual yesterday. I will respect.

Saskatchewan's entire thing for several seasons now is that they win games they oughtn't with talent that oughtn't win games. I mean, ****, they are 24-8 with Fajardo starting.  A .750 win percentage is up in Bo Levi territory.
Given the recent history between the two sides I feel good about our chances but the Riders are a team that defies all reason, a vortex of green madness and insanity with demonically good luck, they seem to get a lot of breaks...makes me just a bit nervous.

hey - Andrew Harris is back - we've all moved on.....
