I am not sure how I feel about this... his win-loss record to-date is 52-47-0 (52.5 win %), whereas the lofty coaches he's saddled with are 63.75% (Bud Grant) and 62.32% (Cal Murphy).

You have to discount the first 2 season's really...since 2016 he is 40-23 as a head coach

And by the time he gets to 140 games, he'll have a record of 91-49-0 (65%) 😁

Did you bring enough of whatever you are smoking for everyone?

Question for all... Is your clock going backwards? Cause mine sure seems to be going backwards! 

 

Let's start the #Strevolution already!

So...Eskimos Bombers tonight ...the new Battle of Alberta? - Morley Scott

👁‍🗨Wow, 44 less penalties (414 yards) than Edmonton. Let’s hope that ratio continues tonight..

The Bombers have been nailed for a league-low 67 penalties this season, totalling 599 yards. The Eskimos have a league-high 111 penalties, covering 913 yards.

I bet they take a few roughing the passer penalties to try to throw Strev off. I hope they don't hurt themselves. 

Looking at their starting lineup - I find it odd that two Americans are on the right side of the OL, while a Canadian rookie is at left tackle.

I don't know anything about that new-ish LT, but read some stuff earlier this week that suggested he's a poor Guard but a very very good Tackle (which is odd, but some guys.....) so we'll see. They'll be testing him, for sure...

Interesting to note that Winnipeg hasn't been dinged for an off-side penalty on offence yet this year..attention to detail and perfection like that will be key moving forward with the Strev

I sincerely did...and like 230lbs or something. ******* Skunk got all up in my head....

If he was 6'3 do you think he would have ever made it to the CFL?

Yeah, that does check out......but he SEEMS like such a big dude.

dude is in ok shape, so yeah he ain't the tallest guy on the field, but he's a big strong guy. That's why the ladies and Northern Skunk are so in love with him

I'm glad that someone else is picking up the "Skunk is typing the words "Big Chris" with one hand" vib...

In planes and airports the next 5 hours. Should land just in time to hear we returned the opening kick off for a TD. 

All of Winnipeg and the province will be in love with him after tonight.  I hope 😎

We need a very good game from our D and ST. 

Let's hope Grant and Whitehead make some good returns tonite and give Strevy and O short fields.

While our D keep Esks away from the end-zone. 

Apparently tickets are getting scarce for tonights game, 33,000+ expected at commonwealth. Good on them.

When they close off huge sections... 

 

There are still plenty of seats available but it looks like the Bombers are a big draw. 

pull up some tarps then Schmoes
