That's actually the first thing I noticed when I saw the announcements... Now I think Trestman will win and he deserves it... taking a team from tire fire to 9-9 and a playoff spot is impressive (I'm ignoring the fact that he won the east b/c that's not much of a feat these days)... But for the west nominee... I would have Maas, O'Shea, and (*shudder*) Jones ahead of Dickenson for coaching performances this year... hate to admit it but going from 5 wins to 10 and a playoff spot should have been good for the nomination IMO... I won't admit which coach I'm talking about...

This whole "street clothes and embracing teammates" thing was making me nervous... glad to hear it's baby related... Congrats to Matt and family...

It actually goes to show you how impressive Alex Singleton's season has been... under normal circumstances, if a Canadian leads the league in rushing (or receiving) they are a lock to win the MOC... the fact that Singleton is in the running is all the more impressive... I wonder if some voters might actually take into account that Harris is a "true" Canadian... rather than an American with citizenship... I doubt anyone admits it, but that might be a factor for some of the hard core CFL traditionalists...

Wait... are you guys telling me that the writers who vote on these things aren't completely knowledgeable about what they're voting on?!? I'M SHOCKED!!!

I think you're stretching the definition of "criticize"... so far it appears to me that most people would like to see more from Givens and Washington... maybe one will step up and prove he belongs... which I would agree with...

I would love to volunteer but I don't quite have 12 hours to spend every day fixing the grammar on this site...

So the betting line is Argos vs the field?

just to expand on this... an anonymous source has informed me the Bomber plan to score at least one more point than the Esks... if I reveal my source you'll never hear from me again...

I personally don't LOVE Lapo as a coach... but that doesn't mean he isn't a great teacher with a brilliant football mind...

you need to turn your sarcasm meter up just a few notches...

My biggest concern isn't if he plays or not (he has a heartbeat, right? He's playing!)... it's how hurt is he?... I hope he is healthy enough to be his usual effective self...

no offense (b/c I usually like most your posts) but if Booch says pros rarely, if ever, "mail it in"... I trust his opinion more than yours on that topic...

+3... I can officially confirm at least 9 tickets have been sold...

The difference between Neufeld the last two games vs the Neufeld that struggled for 2 season with the Bombers is supporting cast... He's got perennial all-star Bryant to his left and rising star Goossen to his right... He's just gotta do his job and he knows full well the other guys will do theirs...

I agree that Denmark isn't the player he used to be... but how many would complain if he comes up with a stat line of 5 for 55 yards and 2 TDs (this was his production in the banjo bowl)... I think he can still be a productive receiver and hope he has a few decent performances left in the tank...

Anyone on this site that lives in Manitoba better be in the stands Sunday afternoon!... Otherwise a full banishment from this site is the only acceptable solution...

I also like the idea of Buck continuing to "mentor" under Lapo... I hope Buck can become an OC one day... learning from a very good coach never hurts...

I've never seen a better use of the word "infects"....

I did get a chance to watch a lot of this game (a nice advantage to trying to get a new born to sleep) and I agree the Argos are legitimate cup contenders this year... But I would also love to meet them in Ottawa Nov 26... let's set up Medlock for another game winner and see how it goes this time

Tough to imagine Lapo would want to work under Kavis Reed and Joe Mack... I mean, he's been there before with Mack as a GM and Kavis as his DC... that being said, HC jobs are rare... only 9 currently exist... so I would not be surprised at all if he took an interview to consider his options...

yes... usually the offense (Lapo) would be going against the defense (Bene)...

I know Edmonton is flying right now... but we've played them really well both games this year... we broke their 7 game streak earlier this year... so maybe we'll have a chance to break their 5 game streak next week!

With Harris locking up the rushing title, I think he has a good shot at winning MOC... Singleton should be a lock for MODP... both guys get an award!

Were you the guy with the "#54 okpo for mvp" sign?... also wearing a bombere hockey jersey...

Well done @do or die... nice to have you back...
