I know many of us are still basking in the euphoria of the win last night, but it's onward and upward from here on. Up next,  arguably one of the best teams in the league.

What's it going to take to win?

Last year I think we played relatively well against them, and I believe that was against a healthier Stamps team then they currently are.

Are there things Ottawa did to exploit Calgary a bit to have such close games that we can capitalize on?

One of the most notable things I recall from the back to back Ottawa games, was how pedestrian Taylor Reed made Messam look. I know Hurl had a good game last night, but can he do the same? I also noticed BLM pressured a lot more then usual. How does our DL measure up against the Stamps OL?

idea.... start tailgating, at work ! 

Ha! Friday's is always a thirsty lunchhour where I work... so do I 'pregame' before having to work another 4 hrs, or call it now and take the afternoon off?!   First world problems.

overheard from U of M staff members.. "...uh who's the weirdo in the lawn chair in the middle of the parking lot drinking by himself and yelling GO BOMBERS!"  ? "

Permanently tailgating, it's a lifestyle choice.

Just looked out of my office window in downtown Winnipeg and it looks like there are already some people tailgating in the back alley.

Although, at that pace, they may not make it game time but I like their spirit!

For The W!!

The guys drinking whiskey straight out of the bottle?  They've been tailgating all week.

Yup time for some real trash talk....

Our Blue and Gold knights of the field will strive mightily, within the bounds of probity and good sportsmanship to administer a long overdue chastisement to these bovine interlopers from the oil soaked badlands.   While the civic minded denizens of our fair city hurl strident verbiage upon them......

Are you not pumped? 

I wish I could write like this.  **** yeah, like he said! 

 

Oh, I got a good one. Hope the stampeders get the trots! Hahaha hehe ?

Yeah me too.

IGF should probably have only been built for 30000. I think asking 33000 out is tough anywhere in the CFL. 

13000 is tough in Toronto.

I think I'll have no choice but to get hammered tonight.

Nice. I am not sure what the largest crowd since 2014 (excluding Banjo Bowls which sell out every year) but I have a feeling it was a Rider game.

Cheers to 30k +

It will be deafeninggggg

Banjo Bowl games aside, I don't think IGF has hit 30K since early in 2014.

This is great for the organization to see tickets selling like hot cakes for this game tonight!

Beautiful evening, lots of good looking young folks going to the game,

Rum Hut might be busy tonight.

 

LOFFLER WILL BE FLYING HIGH AGAIN TONIGHT,

 

Love listening to huffer talk. Such a class guy, and great football mind. Doug with some great questions too. Man i wish he would rub off more on BLM...
