Odds and Sods - Green Riders vs Blue Bombers


do or die

Recommended Posts

Cold, cold wind...up in the ole upper deck....
ZC throws to Moore, Bighill strips ball out.....
….right into the arms of Gaitor...untouched down sideline for 6
Bighill in on a lot of tackles early.....
Bomber O sputtering in this 1st quarter....
Until Nichols play actions.....then throws long ball....
….drops it into Adams, in stride....75 yds clear sailing....
Only play on O..... and Bombers are up 14-0.
Bomber D closing on receivers and making sure tackles.....
Medlock with some nice punting...ST's with good coverage....
Collaros completing some balls.....but not going through reads....
Lots of jaw-jaw between Blue receivers and Rider D.....
Loffler actually looks like centerfielder....as he picks off bad ZC throw, deep
Couple of Harris runs.....gets it to Rider 15.....
Naturally we get an incomplete pass, then a sack...
Medlock pops 30 yd FG....Bombers 17-0...
For his size...Sayles does some thumping out there.....
Hall still running lots of blitz packages, again....
Collaros getting pressured....and looking shaky....
Thompkins catches for FD....Harris runs for another 9...
Streveler on 2nd and short …rears up and throws down the middle...
...where only Dressler can get it....with a nice diving catch in the end zone...
30 yd TD. 24-0.  Turning into nightmare half for the Riders....
Bartel getting outkicked by Medlock, Blue getting good field position....
Nichols completes passes to Demski and Wolitarsky……
Streveler then runs sneak and barges his way up the gut, for 25....to Rider 1
QB sneak on next play.....Bombers simply tuning up the Riders now
Banjo Bowl stench has finally dissipated ….now 31 to nothing, in first half....
Blue get standing ovation from crowd, as time runs out.....
Collaros starting the 2nd half.....to the surprise of many.....
Bighill blows into Rider backfield to sack ZC.....
Bridge finally comes in at QB....promptly sacked by Gaitor…..
Wolitarsky looking more and more... like an ace inside receiver... 
Bridge scrambling 25 yds back of line of scrimmage, but gets off nice bomb...
….to Shaw, who like most of the Riders receivers, today...can't catch a cold...
Nichols is done.....Streveler will take it from here...Harris actually being rested also...
Loffler really ranging around there, in this one....
Bighill chases down Bridge, with some tremendous pursuit...…
Sayles having another strong game, back there.....
Bridge has a terrific arm....but with no clue what he is doing out there.....
Both teams still smacking on D....just punts going back and forth, now....
Bridge to Holley, who is stripped by Fogg....who also recovers the fumble...
….capping off a miserable afternoon for Rider receiving corps.....
This Bryant at DT can ball, some....surprising quickness.
Bombers get it back with 2.5 minutes left....and just grind out the clock
…..to preserve the 31-0 shutout.  
Bombers needed that game more.....and played like it
I needed the gin, just as much....and drank like it.

Great win ,but not to be a a stick in the mud ,i was disappointed at all the empty seats. U would think this rivalry would draw better.

Well, unfortunately the 'Riders already have the season series. Add to that the terrible weather - and that's what you get. It's not the Bombers attendance is dropping off, the announced attendance was still about 26,000+.... just too bad the season series wasn't tied, otherwise that place would've been rockin'.

No damn way was there 26,000 people there. I was there , people were moving down from upper deck all game. It was practically balmy compared to some other games I've attended.

No you're missing my point - the announced attendance was about 26,000 people, that's how many seats they sold. In terms of actual people at the game, I would be surprised if it was 17,000.
