He has been continuing his education through the engineering department. He actually was in Winnipeg during the Jets bye week to catch up with things that his group was working on during his absence. The University is allowing him to carry on and work around his football career.

This is a promotion. He’s actually trending the other way.

Which means more opportunities for him to move up the depth chart. It makes no difference to me if he wins the Super Bowl, my only concern is if he ever comes to the Bombers. This is now less likely than yesterday.

Oh and on Manny, I was hoping we'd sign him but its clear he's past his prime and overrated.

Most people simply don’t have the ability to make better choices or read and react to defences. You’re right in that he has all the physical tools, so his regression is concerning.
 

Randy Ambrosie has already proven to be a Commissioner who is going to make things happen. He doesn’t stay in his office and ‘hear’ about the league, he is out in each city finding out what is happening. 
This latest idea scares some people and titilates others, but fundamentally, he is right, the League should start earlier. It’s our League, let’s do it the way we Canadians want it.
We shouldn’t worry about what other leagues are doing (hockey, baseball) we should just make this League the centrepiece, and let other leagues worry about us. 
Missing out on that beautiful June weather is a waste, and for what? Tradition? Let’s start a new tradition. 
The men behind this idea and their CFL counterparts (Gms, Coaches front office) are smart enough to iron out the details and figure this out in time for 2018?
Let the CFL emerge once again and display its uniqueness. Earlier.
It’s about time...

I honestly don’t see a down side in moving the schedule. Cold games keeps fans away, and the conflict with baseball early in the season can’t be worse than conflict with hockey late in the season.
The notion that November football is a ‘distraction’ from the cold weather prior to the holiday season is poetic, I guess, but it’s never crossed my mind.

I believe this type of thread shows up every December...  so we're right on schedule...
Then a few signings are announced just before/after Christmas...   but the forum still rumbles - panic continues...  
Most of our big name free agents are signed just before FA with one real head shaker...  forum argues over that one decision
Walters grabs 2 big names and 2 not so big in FA...  forum agrees Walters is a genius then we argue about Joe Mack
Walters make a fairly small trade like getting a 4th round pick for some dude...  forum hails him as a genius
Coaching personnel decisions takes a long time... panic ensues...  new assistant hired...  forum argues 
Someone asks what happened to Nasty Nate...  someone else complains about how bad this board is getting (unlike the old days)
Draft occurs and we all hail it as one of the most 'solid' drafts in recent history...  forum rejoices in Walters' genius - then we argue about Taman
A long-winded thread starts about Cal Murphy and Don Jonas in a subtle attempt to show just who the real fans are here... and then its pre-season!!!

There is never a time when there aren't any conflicts. This slightly changes which conflicts.
 

In each hand. One for before/during the race, one to chug immediately after.

Agreed. Loved Hargs, and he could have been more if they used him more (similar to the way we seem to force the ball to JFG sometimes), but he was definitely representative of a low in overall NI talent at the time. 

I don't see the schedule change as expecting more Americans to watch the Grey Cup, I think it's more about getting them to watch the CFL in June, when there's no NFL games.
And perhaps getting revenue from an NFL network deal.

I've now read that article. That's a few minutes of my life I will never get back.
It makes a whole lot of assumptions and assertions about "real" fans and attracting the US audience.

Mike O’Shea:
"Obviously a decision like this is a very difficult one to make on many levels," head coach Mike O'Shea said in a release. "The reality of the situation is such that we simply weren't good enough on the defensive side of the football this season, and felt that we needed to go in a different direction in this regard.

It' going to be a long off season.

Two comments that are incredibly douchy, but not surprising.
