Opponent unknown, but the Bombers will host the Western Final for the first time in 49 years. 

 

Can Harris come back?
I'm assuming McGuire dresses behind Collaros?
Who's in/who's out? 

 

Long, long range weather (as of November 22): High -3, feels like -9. Wind 21. 

(as of November 24): High -11, feels like -18. Wind 26. 

(as of November 26): High -5, feels like -10. Wind 18, gusting 27.

(as of November 29): High -9, feels like -14, Wind 14, gusting 24. 

(as of December 1): High -7, feels like -12, Wind 20, gusting 30. 

(as of December 3): High -5, feels like -12, Wind 33, gusting 50.  This is interesting, the wind has picked up SIGNIFICANTLY, to the point that I don't even think the kicking game is going to matter. But, the high on Monday is -22, which tells me it's likely the temperature will get much colder prior to or during the game. The weather is definitely going to be a factor but we're still too far out to see what the full impact will be. It's going to be fun. 

Do what Willie says and no one gets hurt. 

 

Who's coming in from out of town?

Argos:  We need you to go to the Raptors game MBT

MBT:  Doesn't that violate the CFL COVID policy?

Argos:  Yeah

MBT: Well ok then.

Willie J already said it is no sleeves for him.

Demski wore sleeves during the last home game.  If a Winnipegger wears sleeves, that's a green light for everyone else in my opinion.

If you ever stood at the corner of Portage and Main when the wind is howling and it's 40 below, you get to know what the meaning of cold is..

Still, you’re not from the prairie,

And yet you know cold…

You say you’ve been cold?

Of all of those memories we share when we’re old,

None are more clear than that hard bitter cold.

You’ll not find among us a soul who can say:

“I’ve conquered the wind on a cold winter’s day.”

If you’re not from the prairie,

You don’t know the cold,

You’ve never been cold!

there's that quote from Bane in The Dark Knight Rises where he says something along the lines of "You think the darkness is your ally? You merely know the dark...I was born into the dark and it's all I've ever known.."  And I always think about that when it comes to cold and Manitoba. Other places can claim they understand cold, but they don't. We're born in it...it's all we know.

I used to choke up reading "If You're Not From the Prairie" to my kids.  

Harris not practicing actually makes the most sense today. 

If it feels good today may as well wait till Sunday at this point. 

Why possibly tweak it in practice? 

He will be on the depth chart tomorrow.

Troubling news about Harris but still hoping for the best. Also believe a Brady/Johnny duo can in the words of Larry the Cable Guy, Get er dun.

Not troubling to me. 

It's your time boys! Make hay!

Knee likely didn't respond well......shame. I have faith in Augustiveira...

I agree if that is what happens.

I think he is playing. Streveler played on one leg last year. I doubt Harris misses this.

Send Mikey BT.  He'll do anything.

 

Ticketmaster says 1500-2000 tickets left so probably more like 2500.

Can someone responsible please make sure that he's got proper socks and footwear to protect those quick tootsies?

awesome that he will be here...and u can bet rooting for his boys....I can see him back here next year too....in lieu of Darvins spot...if we go out on top I could see Darvin hang em up...but love to see him kept on as a receiver coach...I know he does want to get into coaching...and he carries a lot of respect in the clubhouse on all sides of the ball

Its interesting that Jake Wienkie is also a FA too he is from Minnesota and his parents drive to everyone of one of his games. Seems like 9 5 hour drives would be better than 9 drives to Montreal.

 

Had to share this gem from RF about what the riders could do to get in our heads: "If the sprinkle is not considered taunting I think Cody can get in the Bombers head by doing it as they line up. Could also make him look dumb but if it works"
