    They have had issues.  And really, imagine if they didnt fire Garth and hire Wade Miller.  They'd probably be losing money every year BEFORE paying the mortgage.

    The Province should have just paid for the thing outright in the first place.  They came up with this scheme because taxpayers dont like $200 million being spent on sports Stadiums, especially one being used ten times a year.  And I can't argue with that other then to say, a Stadium is a community asset and for the life of the facility, the cost is rather minimal compared to many other things.

    I'd have rather seen a small fee on tickets (like $1-$2) as a sort of facility fee then taking on massive debt servicing.

    Bombers are doing well so the idea of private ownership isnt talked about anymore.  I had always hoped True North could have been convinced to come in and take it all over but Miller is doing a fine job running things.

    Why is it when they talk about the stadium debt, it is the bombers' debt?  Why is there never anything about how much rent the Bisons or minor football, that is played there, pays to Triple B? Or do they even pay rent when they use the facility?

    Washington made a few catches as well, so he may be worth bringing back next year, but Givens showed very little despite his apparent promise.

    I remember last year quite a few posters were saying to get rid of Adams because he wasn't progressing fast enough. Now look at him. Give this kid a chance. There are also quite a few outstanding players on other teams that went through the bomber roster. Patients sometimes is a virtue.

    I will say though, I think Lapolice does deserve some criticism for this game too, I didn't like his uber conservative approach against that awful D.

    I think La Police went to the running game in the second half because Nichols was hurting and if they could finish out the game without Nichols throwing any long or hard passes unless it was absolutely necessary, it was going to be the plays called.
