I haven't decided if I'm driving down yet. The games I've gone to there have been decent, but the stadium isn't great. The Banjo Bowl was a great reminder of why I like IGF, fantastic leg room for a tall guy, and why when I'm in Winnipeg I turn down free Jets tickets (horrible leg room in MTS centre).

I'll still be wearing my Denmark jersey and hoping he's in the game. He's the type of guy who could have a big game while the D puts more focus on Smith/Dressler.

I'm flying westjet round trip for $198, two trips in September, that pricing out of Edmonton looks pretty common in October too. Lowest I've ever seen.

You're in Calgary correct? Go book flights right now, round trip Edmonton to Winnipeg. Find a way to Edmonton bright and early Saturday morning, hit a 9am direct flight to Winnipeg. Sunday morning 6:25am flight back to Edmonton via Calgary, and as long as you didn't have to leave a car in Edmonton just end your flight in Calgary (it's cheaper than booking just Winnipeg to Calgary for whatever reason). You'll have your flights for $219, small price to pay. I got mine round trip from Edmonton, direct flights both ways for $198.

I'm on a 6 am flight next Saturday to enjoy the streak going to 6

Sure there are things to improve on, but it's a long weekend, the bombers won in Regina, the bombers have won multiple games in a row. I know people around here don't know how to do this, but try enjoy it. I'm on a 6am flight next Saturday for no other reason than to watch the Banjo Bowl in person, and whether it's by 3 or 30 I'll enjoy a Bomber win over the Riders.

my favorite part of having Medlock is that there's so little worry when he goes back for a big kick. I can't remember the last time the bombers had a kicker where it wasn't gut wrenching to have to kick anything over 30 in a clutch situation. When Harris went down on the last play, I counted the game as won from that range before Medlock even kicked.

It's how it works in the NHL as well. Chicago towards the end of this last season was looking at Panarin earning big bonus', and any amount that puts them over the current seasons cap is reduced from the following seasons cap, which in the NHL they have to be compliant with to start the next season. Like others, have no idea how this plays out in the CFL

no, but they'll have your retirement paperwork ready to go

not going to LDC but booked flights for the banjo bowl today. Got round trip to Winnipeg for $198 so couldn't pass it up

I'm just glad Denmark is back. Bought a Denmark jersey end of last season

I'm somewhat impressed the league even caught it

due to the weather delay my pvr recording ended with 17 seconds on the clock, and my reaction was but i need to see how we blew this in the last 17 seconds.

thanks for the clarification. I may have missed them talking about it, I got home an hour into the game was was skipping time between plays and all of half time, got caught up to the live feed by the 4th quarter.

I know they changed it at one point to specify you could come back in if pushed out, but not if you went out on your own. I don't follow all the rule changes closely, so it's possible it was changed again

on the topic of calls that may not be correct -and I haven't gone back to watch this again- early in the game, the fumble recovered by (I believe) Wild, should that not have been illegal participation? I thought he went out of bounds and came back in to recover it

*edit* point was already mentioned but i missed it

I don't think they would. They acquired his contract. So if he wants to play in the CFL it's for Sask, but they can't force him to play. I must say I enjoy this.

back to back wins? I would like 1 win please. No need to be greedy

Ottawa has a nice stadium, and great environment in the area before the game. Really enjoyed the game I went to there. Haven't bothered looking much at what the riders are doing so won't compare, but I liked the stadium in Ottawa.

When I was watching the bombers lose in Calgary last year I heard nothing but positive things about Dickenson from fans there

I've lived in a city with the Edmonton Oilers since 2009, and am a Bombers fan, I'm not familiar with what playoffs are.

maybe we need to bring Glenn back to finish 2007 in 2017....

also in the 0-4 club. Didn't expect winnipeg to win, but had to try

As someone who is only in his early 30's, I have no real memories of the bombers being a dominant, or even consistently good team. Sure we had a brief glimpse of success in the days of Jones and Stegall. Losing games and looking terrible on offense is just my expectation. So the good of this is I get over the losses pretty quickly, as they're expected. The bad being even if we win a couple games it will be hard to enjoy as I'll know the wheels are still going to fall off after another few games. I didn't grow up watching or playing football, wasn't an option to play in a small town. In my teens the likes of Stegall and Brown got me interested and started watching. Then i hit my 20's. The bombers didn't win a labor day game in my 20's. Loss after loss after loss. Every year we bring in new players, every year people are optimistic for the new players. Every year regardless of what coaches/players/Gm we bring in, the team plays like the Bombers, which is a painful experience.
