It's been a few hours, so it's time we stop celebrating and time to start focusing on our next opponents. Just kidding, party on. 

The weather may be pleasant, showing a high of 1 (feels like -4) next Sunday. 😮

You're a Cat fan on a Bomber site questioning a Bomber fan about whether or not your team can be beat and you tell me to stop it? Excuse me?

Asked what HAMs achilles heel, his words, is.

That's it.

Also you need to relax.

Looks like we will be facing Harker....

With all due respect Zontar, you don't get to come on a Bomber site and tell a Bomber fan to "Stop it" or "relax" without some push back. Now do you want to talk football or not?

Well now I'm curious, do you plan on discussing anything football worthy or are you just here trolling Bomber fans?

BTW, good luck with your game on Sunday. I'll be pulling for the Cats. I can't think of anything better than watching Zach celebrate a Grey Cup victory over your team and that dirtbag Simoni Lawrence.

I was actually thinking of the story line that would provide.....the one with the Riders is pretty rich but a Bomber/Cat  GC tilt would be epic!

A compliment but at the same time an insult and condemnation of my team and one of its high profile players. Now I don't know what to believe.

Old school. Advocated a HAM/PEG matchup a while ago.

You need to relax. There was no compliment. I'd simply like to see my team beat yours. Would make a great story line don't you think?

I honestly don't care which one we play.

And an old school rivalry. Bombers have won 10 (3rd) grey cups, Cats 8 (4th). Blue have played in 24 (1st) cups, Cats 20 (4th). Neither has hoisted the trophy in this century. However through history each team has played the other 9 occasions for the championship. I grew  up with the Cats Bomber battling. For me, the cats and bombers is the patented Canadian Grey Cup match up. Wouldn’t mind seeing both make it to the dance again. Oops. I was in diapers when I first started watching the duel. Maybe it’s irony I could be watching in diapers again.

The ones I know and talk to are torn- 

We want to kick your A@@, but also find it hard to cheer against Zach 

He is just a **** disturbing click bait-ey fraud.

I look at the Riders like Jorge Masvidal looks at Ben Askren.

at the LDC?  I recall something very different and a game that the D gave back to the Riders... because, I recall that the last time the O came off the field with 3 mins to go in the 4th quarter the Bombers had the lead... the D couldn't stop them for nothing and they chewed up the whole 3 mins and left with a walk off game winning field goal...

Don't expect to win a Canadian football game scoring under 20 points.  Yes D gave up FG drive, also the only points they gave up that entire half.  Bombers couldn't even manage a first down in the first quarter.

How come none of you are this hardcore?

As Bombers advance, long-suffering fan hopes to end 18-year-long no pants pledge

Chris Matthew says he's not getting ready to put on pants just yet, but remains hopeful

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-blue-bombers-no-pants-pledge-1.5355880

With the Winnipeg Blue Bombers advancing to the West Division final against Saskatchewan, could this be the end of Bomber fan Chris Matthew's 18-year-long pledge to not wear pants until his beloved team clinches the cup?

Despite seeing the team advance in the CFL playoffs, he says he's not getting ready to switch out of his shorts just yet. 

The Bombers head to Regina for next Sunday's West final against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, after beating the Calgary Stampeders 35-14 in Sunday's West Division semifinal.

The victor there will represent the West in the Grey Cup in Calgary on Nov. 24.

In November 2001, Winnipeg Blue Bomber fan Chris Matthew made a casual bet when he thought his beloved team was sure to win the Grey Cup. 

Still wearing shorts in November, he said he'd switch to pants after the Bombers clinched the cup. 

"So ever since, I've been in shorts," he said.

The only time Matthew will put pants on is if he has to go to a funeral — where the family doesn't know about the bet. 

"If they know about the shorts, I'll still wear shorts to a funeral," he said. 

'They could beat anybody' 

The Bombers haven't taken home the Grey Cup since 1990 — the same year Nelson Mandela was released from prison. The World Wide Web wasn't even a thing yet. 

Despite his team being one step closer to the cup, he said they've let him down too many times for him to get too excited just yet. 

"If they play as well as they did yesterday, they could beat anybody," he said.

"If they don't win, I'm fine. I've lived with this now for almost 20 years, I can continue, it's not that big a deal. For their sake and for the sake of every other Bomber fan, I'd like to see them win."

His wife, Darla, says she's past the point of caring. 

"I don't care. He likes it, and I know that win or lose, he likes the shorts. And he complains, but I think he loves the attention," she said. 

"We have been walking down the street when it's cold out. and I have a fur coat, and he's in shorts, and people stare. And I just assure them, yes, he's an idiot."

If you're looking to charter a bus to Regina for the big game, that might be tough on short notice, says Allan Mellon with All Road Tours.

If you do, Mellon's advice is to get insurance, and make sure it's registered properly. 

"Since the Humboldt incident, people are weary of who they travel with. There are reputable companies in Winnipeg, just do your homework," he said. 

"My suggestion if you want to go to Regina ... jump in your car. Finding a bus would be very difficult."

As for Matthew, he says he's saying put. 

"First of all, it's Regina, and I'd have to sit outside, in the cold, in my shorts, and I'm not gonna do that."

I'd say more  Jorge Masvidal looks at  Nate Diaz....      beat him up badly over a long period of time and then follow it up with Nate (Rider fans) whining and making excuses about how the refs caused them to lose

No, he truly hates Askren.

He said if he saw him at Whole Foods there us going to be a problem.

"This isn't over" even after he knocked him out in 5 seconds
