I don't doubt for a second that Wade Miller and Kyle Walters are both extremely hard working and committed to making this a noteworthy franchise again... I am, however, concerned that their abilities may not match their passion...

Interesting point... I don't think the Esks would actually consider axing Hervey... but they may consider giving him a different position if it means keeping Jones...

Wish I could have been there. I went to last year's in BC but didn't really get a chance to participate much in the festivities. I was at 2011's Cup in Vancouver, that was a blast, and of course it helped that the Bombers were in it, so a lot of Bomber fans were running around the streets and packing the Elephant and Castle. What really makes these things isn't just the events, its the people AT the events. It's truly a day (now several days with all of the events) in the year where Canadians from all over the country (and some Yanks too!) can get together and participate in something truly and uniquely Canadian. Highly recommend people go if they have the chance (and the cash!), and truly sorry I couldn't make it out this year to the event in Winnipeg. Did anyone get a chance to hang out with the Blue Bastard? He's hilarious! Spent most of the day Sunday with him - fan march, then tailgaiting, of course the game, then a brief post game party at the Pemby*.... he's a long time friend of a good friend of mine... he was pretty tame by Sunday, two consecutive days of heavy drinking will do that! *The Pemby apparently has strippers now, it was weird, don't try to be something you're not Pemby, you're a dive sports bar, noyt some hight end drinking establishment with "Dancers"

That's how I saw it... the sound wasn't great at the game... mostly overshadowed by the fireworks.... I pvr'd and rewatched the game yesterday... it sounded great on TV that was the nice part... both of those PI calls were justifiable and seemingly obvious... the only disappointment was that is wasn't called correctly on the play and had to be reviewed... 2 things... Sherrit is 220... and no one think our MLB is too small, just too slow... probably depended where you were sitting... we had some Esks fans around us, but didn't see any RB fans in our section... mostly neutrals....

I think this issue was brought up a few years ago... and nothing came of it.... as it turns out, no one (that matters) is actually offended by the name...

unless you're suggesting they should be in favour of it to create an even playing field? I suspect the players with that attitude are in the minority...

Why is that strange... of course the players are the one who would oppose...

I agree completely... if I had my way the Bomber jerseys would be a flat colour, with the W and #s on the shoulder and flat colour (opposite of jersey) pants... I could live with a plain stripe on the shoulder as well...

This guy disagrees with you Miami of ohio putting out stud cfl wrs. If the all time record gets broken again instantly sign the guy. I know this isn't the point you're making... but I really don't see most of Stegall's records ever being broken... simply because any WR good enough to do it will likely spend a lot of his career in the NFL...

Not surprised but still disappointed.... Westerman is one of the 3 best D-linemen in the league... Sinopoli is maybe a top 10 WR in the league... I think it was TBurgess that summed it up best... Sinopoli had the more intriguing story, plus he's offensive... and that will always be enough to convince the CFL media...

Apparently Tillman still resides in Regina or at least his family does. I thought he was rumoured to be on Sask's short list for GMs...

I thought the idea of ending it by halloween is ridiculous... but if the Grey Cup was on Nov 15 this year, it would have been +10 at kick off...

But you're ok with a team in their second year of existence winning before the Bombers??

for some people...

The answer is obviously yes... X 1000.... but in reality, it is not happening... so I won't get my hopes up....

I read this about 4 times trying to figure out what swear you used...

He can be on any kind of mission he wants, Burris flat out sucks in the cold. The only time he got a Grey Cup win was in a dome and remember his last foray into an out doors grey cup game? He got his ass handed to him cause it was cold out. I personally want -40 and a ******* blizzard of epic proportions on Sunday because his tears will sustain me throughout the offseason. As someone who will be there... I do not endorse this sentiment...

We can only hope this is true...

I'll be cheering for Edmonton... not that I'll really care either way...

Can't say this news is terribly exciting... I seem to feel apathetic towards anything Bomber news these days... Every time I get optimistic about something, the Bombers let me down, as usual... I may start to join the "nothing they do is right" crowd.... I hope it doesn't come to that...

If the Riders hire John Murphy... oh man I can't even begin to describe the amount of frustration that will bring.... watch them rebuild faster than the Bombers... I wanted Murphy in 2013... I was hoping Walters would go to Guelph and we could get him now... and I just have this sick feeling he's gonna turn the riders around... it literally makes me feel sick to my stomach just thinking about it...

How can you say that given that he's never played more than a handful of snaps at HB? The "IMO" suggests that its my opinion. I base that opinion off of what I think his skill set is. That's what this board is for correct? to form opinions and have discussions about our favorite sports team? I understand it's your opinion. I was asking how you came to form that opinion, seen as how he's never played the position before. didn't we recently have a conversation about this... Sorry, I missed the conversation... I'm thinking that the conversation he's referring to is not football related. It concerns "seen as how" versus "seeing as how". Irregardless of that, I could care less. Yeah... it was a joke... a few of us grammar geeks got all up in arms about people using "seen as how" a few months ago...

In hindsight a seat similar to yours in BC last year would have been $225, or $249 in Regina the year before, or $250 in Toronto in 2012. Prices are comparable to what they have been in recent Grey Cup games for most sections. Fair enough... I should have clarified I have no issue with my ticket price.... but I got a discount and I'm a huge CFL fan... most of my friends think I'm an idiot for going to the Grey Cup and an even bigger idiot for being a die hard Bombers fan... I'm thinking that's a tough sell for casual fans...

They play on a friday afternoon?
