Tracker Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 When I was living in southern Alberta, I happened to meet a retired historian who had an insight into why Alberta and southern Alberta in particular is so like Alabama. Apparently after the American Civil war (and we know who lost that), a lot of disgruntled southerners went westward into what is now Montana along with slaves. When they found out that they could no longer keep slaves there, either, they had a collective hissy-fit and came up into the Milk River of Alberta area hoping that they could continue slavery there. When they could not, they decided to stay out of spite against their "oppressive" American government. Then the oil boom in the 20;s and 30;s came bringing scores of American oilmen from Texas and Oklahoma. And here we are.

Wasn't sure what to make of that statement. Tells me that there's no way Nichols won't be back next season if he's still around (which isn't his call), but the "after I'm gone" comment is interesting. Conspiracy theorist can ponder, but maybe O'Shea is headed to Toronto, and Nichols won't be far behind!? If in his mind, he's already checked out and headed back to Southern Ontario, that could explain the complacency lately!

I’m far from a Nichols fan, but if he doesn’t come in and play well for the 1-4 Bombers with the entire receiving core out O’Shea doesn’t make it through 2016.

Noeller Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 once again, the story is in the middle......Nichols fit in well with MOS and the co-ordinators. It was a really good "marriage" that we should all be incredibly thankful for. When you look back to where we were prior to this current run of success, I don't ever want to go back. Thank you to every player, coach and management person that has made it possible... Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bus ride to the stadium being uphill both ways was real tough too.... Whole receiving core out? Seem to remember Dressler making some pretty big plays in that game in Edmonton.

Mr Dee Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Matt Nichols, from same interview, fully believes he’s in the prime of his career and that this setback will not affect his future performance. Couple that with the fact O’Shea remains a staunch supporter of his means that off season negotiations, going forward, will definitely include Nichols. If you take into consideration the regard they have for McGuire, that might mean Streveler is the odd man out..depending on how Streveler feels about the situation. If Nichols stays, that could mean our current offensive schemes remain the same..as frustrating as they are. Of course, that depends who is running the offence as OC. I’d say buckle up, as we could be in for a rough ride next year, as I don’t expect too many returnees, whether we win it all or not this year. On the other hand, if we do buckle up, that means Pierce is running the Offence, and I don’t think I’d mind that. 🙂 Piggy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
