Mr Dee Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 This guy was/is a presence. He always came across as a guy who knew what he was doing. I don't know what his trophy case looks like but he is highly deserving of this honour. And, what a name for football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Black Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 The vid of Bud on the horn at the Mansion on the Mississippi is very cool. It caused goose bumps, tbh. Wish I'd been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 That picture of Bud at the top says it all for me when he coached here....He was Mr. Calm and Cool and smart as a fox...I remember one Grey Cup against Ham. when their coach at that time, Jim Trimble, was all over the media saying, ' We (the cats) are going to waffle them' ...Grant didn't say much... we just went out and kicked their arse"... taking the Cup back home.. That sure shut up that crew ...Bud was a coach who just went about his business and delivered....AND boy did he deliver...Just wish some of the young fans of today could experience what we had back then...Seems so very long ago but man did we have a winner, when Bud and the Bombers ruled the league. Very deserving honour. iso_55 and bearpants 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 With Arnold Palmer passing away yesterday I'm glad the Bombers are honouring him this season even if it interrupts his duck hunting. IC Khari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could get a flock of Mallards to fly over the stadium immediately after the inducktion while Bud has his 12 gauge handy. Kill two birds at the same time, so to speak.

Old Bomber Fan Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Believe in all honesty that he should have been the first! Notwithstanding I'm glad to see he will be included. I remember watching him play both offense and defense and then switch to become one of if not the most successful coach in Winnipeg Blue Bomber history. Always wondered why he wasn't there in the beginning but very happy he is there now. A great man, a great motivator, a great player, a great coach and above all a great human being.
