Just Smashmouth them at the LOS, and take it from there.....

I think a better scenario is Mondays off for all!

Got a variety of appetizers from the local shop today.
Wore a royal blue hoodie for the game to support yall. Go blue.

you mean light beers?

Johnny, as you know, your Great Uncle (my old neighbour growing up in Riverview) had a huge role in me becoming a Bomber & CFL fan. All his wonderful stories about the Bombers & CFL in the 1930's into the 60's were marvellous & had me spellbound. We used to talk whenever we saw one another in & around 1967-72 when I was a teen. He'd stop whatever he was doing to discuss football with me whenever we saw each other.
He loved to talk about Fritzie Hansen & Russ Rebholz. He used to talk about characters like Head Coach Allie Sherman & Jack Jacobs. And a score of other players right thru the Bud Grant era. I don't think that I'd be the fan I am today without him. I'll be having a toast to the memory of "Mr. McGibney" today. Thing is, I never knew his first name. We were all taught to call adults "Mr", "Mrs" or "Miss", so I never asked. What was his first name? 

I agree CM is not my fave. Sailor Jerry or Kraken are the go to’s in this house. Pro-tip, Kraken with President’s Choice Chocolate Eggnog is incredible. 

it's time!

Getting ready to hop in the car and drive down the QEW! First time back in Canada in over a year and it’ll be worth it. I wasn’t the only Bomber fan on the flight up either!!
 
GO BLUE! DEFEND #FORT HEW!

He came to the Bombers as almost an afterthought and did a helluva job in taking the no 1 pivot job away from Kenny.....He was just too good to have him anything else on the club.....Great passer and very savvy ...If it wasn't for a classless dirty hit out of bounds by Rollie Miles of the Esks, we could have seen the emergence of one of the best qbs. ever to grace this league....

It's all good.  I'm deep into the CR, watching the 1984 Grey Cup, then going to watch some F1 in Vegas.  Tomorrow I want to watch the Bombers give the Alouettes an old fashioned arse kicking.  I remember back in the 80's when the Al's came to town with Vince Ferragamo et al and the Bombers just pounded them.  I want that level of poundage once again.  Cody Fajardo is a third-string bum.  And tomorrow he's going to prove it.
EDIT - I always forget in 1984 that we were down 14-0 when John Hufnagel came in for Clements, and the whole game changed.  We never looked back after Huffer came in and calmed everyone down.

Jackson pulls off his mask to reveal Miller underneath, Scooby Doo style. Booch's head explodes.

basement apartment with no indoor plumbing...can't blame the wife for taking a pass lol....in 2011 TW and I bought tickets Grey Cup week and headed down on the Saturday, got a hotel room last minute in downtown Vancouver, then walked to Elephant & Castle in the pouring rain.  Got to Bomber House and just set up shop for eight hours while we dried out from being totally soaking wet.  Then headed down to the Convention center and ran around until 3 in the morning.  Good times.  Saw Pinball sitting only one section away from us at the game, did NOT get a selfie, will not make that mistake again.
While we were checking in to our hotel the McMaster Marauders came walking in (they were staying at the same hotel) with the Vanier Cup they had just won the day before, and set the Vanier down in the lobby, and JUST LEFT IT THERE.  I looked over at Tacklewasher and said "should we just walk off with this thing and see if anyone notices"?  LOL

The 2011 Cup was special because the Bombers were in it, and in those meagre sad days Bomber cup appearances were few and far between.  Also got to hang out with Bluto which was fun as well.  Most of the events are down in the Convention Center so very central, though all of the CFL team houses were in bars all over downtown.  Winnipeg's bar was the Elephant & Castle in 2011, not sure where it was in 2014 as I was there but with the inlaws so not really allowed to go party like I did in 2011.

Seriously looking at going next year for Vancouver.  Hope the Blue are in it but if I'm going I'm going to get tickets well in advance.  Still remember 2011 when BC got into the Cup and suddenly all of the bandwagon jumpers from BC decided to become Lions fans for one game.  Never to be seen again.

only home brew we get out here in BC is CR, and THAT will be tomorrow....and probably tonight as well who am I kidding....

Willie J so good in all the interview packages during Grey Cup Saturday. Dieter Brock was long my favourite Bomber, but if anyone can carry the weight of #5, it’s Willie. 
 

I have seen Schoen moving about quite well this week too...so ....

Yeah, I had cropped it to get rid of the ugly brown borders as well as enlarged it so it could be read but it wouldn't upload here. If van pelt had stayed healthy & not have been drafted then we'd have been talking about Ken Ploen as an all time cornerback rather than a qb. Things happen for a reason, I guess. Yet, he's virtually forgotten today. 

My guy Chris Randle #RandleIsland. Wore his jersey out tonight.

100%. Such a beast. 

#randallisland 

Rod Hill, Less Browne too. 

Hill was great too....Stick tho just brought everything....those 2...Roy Bennet and James Jefferson...4 the best ever to suit em up in my time.....Randle would be right there with them 

While Hefney was the perfect tweener, made for the CFL, guy.
