I mean this is the team that specialises in finding new ways to disappoint us fans right? Surely this 5 game win streak is just setting us up to crush our hopes and dreams right? rebusrankin and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do or die Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 As long as it isn't this week. Our fanbase deserves a great performance at IGF, in a game, that involves pride, bragging rights and rewarding folks who have stayed the course. The crowd will do its part - the Bombers must do theirs. kelownabomberfan, rebusrankin and ddanger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be hit by gunfire from a grassy knoll (a gopher hill, actually) while a plane commandeered by residents of Lloydminster crashes into the new stadium.

kelownabomberfan Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Just had lunch with a guy here in Kelowna who used to be Loffler's football coach in high school. TL played QB, defence and returned punts. He never left the field. Amazing athlete. He said he couldn't believe Winnipeg got him in the 3rd round. He said BC should have grabbed him. Anyway, he said Loffler is going to be our safety for quite a long time, as long as we can keep him anyway! I hope he's right.

Someone correct me here but was there not a injury concern with Loffler when he was draft eligible? Nonetheless he has been nothing short than great since he has started playing. Rookie of the year candidate maybe depending on the rest of the season goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Man, we just need to win this game for so many reasons: playoff implications, improving the home record and the fact that we all hate the Riders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember all the bending over backwards the Riders were doing to explain why they only had a half full house the opening game of 2014.... same situation... garbage weather and delays... except the rider game was a weekend afternoon... with the team coming off a grey cup championship.... not Wednesday night... with a 2-4 team with almost no winning in the past 5 years...

Here's hoping he has a long and healthy career. Always great for the league to see some Canadian kids become stars. Does wonders for our CIS programs.

Stickem Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Loffler has star written all over him...seen it pre draft and now it's becoming reality...The injuries were a footnote of concern but I knew if we drafted him it was the right choice...So Wally let one slip away ... heh heh.....Buono will really have his sphincter pucker when Loffler accepts his rookie of the year award...heh heh.

There are always games when crowds are poor. Can't for the life of me understand why we play a friggin home game every year when Craven is on. Always a poor crowd. Always factors that effect individual games. The season as a whole however is different. Look at average attendance and things of that nature tell a different storey. You guys had 14k empty seats at your last home game. BUT with the Bombers in the playoff hunt and lots of home games coming up, the attendance will be way up. When the season ends, it will be a very successful one when average attendance is calculated. Our attendance may or may not dip as the season unfolds depending on how bad we finish, but with 28k season tickets sold our average will likely stay strong. I know all the cool kids make fun of the riders for every little thing, but supporting our team is what we do here. We almost lost the riders once many years ago, no one ever wants to see that happen again. ddanger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFL website says attendance was 24041, so there was 9549 empty seats at the game. The attendance is for tickets sold. look it up yourself. For the record, the 14k number I quoted was one I read, I didn't make it up. I just looked it up officially a few minutes ago. The rain delay did not effect how many tickets were sold, or are you under the delusion that when you go home they adjust the attendance to account for your absence??

Cross the fingers that these injuries don't sideline him for multiple months or a season in the future, it doesn't take much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Out Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 this would be a nice game to see Nichols throw for 3 TD's and hopefully silence the critics. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
