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? 

Edited December 3, 20214 yr by JCon

I’m glad CF wasn’t hurt either and let’s call it what it is - a dirty play by Alexander. Deserved the 15 yards and maybe then some.

That being said, the Riders don’t have to look too far to find guys that do the exact same kind of stuff. Makana Henry (and before I say this, I’m just going to shout the guy out because from everything I’ve read about him off the field, he’s turned his life around and seems to have a major impact in his community which is awesome) is still a piece of trash on the field, Garrett Marino is one of the dirtier guys in the league, Nick Marshall is no different and Duke is … Duke.

The Riders want to whine and cry about all the missteps the Bombers take in a game, cry me a river. That stuff goes both ways.

Who was it that tried to take a cheap shot at Collaros late in the game? On the play with the Rider offside and offsetting 15 yard penalties?

I wanna say Lanier

Alexander deserved the 15 but the Riders are not a team of choir boys. 

Rider fans last week were literally wanting a Rider player to take a cheap shot at ZC and get a 15 yard penalty early and that it would have been worth it. Now they are crying it happend to them.

Cody Fajardo saying that things just didn’t go their way and they couldn’t catch a break yesterday has to be one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.

He’s such a loser. Poor me attitude and no accountability or leadership.

man...they caught 6 B.S breaks and a command center gift..what more did they need?...they had 6 turn overs, and scored less than 3 points a turnover...pathetic....he needs to look in mirror and realize...he just doesn't have it, and his 512k salary next yr is a huge albatross around the Rider's neck, and unwarranted...maybe take a 212 sprinkle of that salary and donate the other 300 to try and get some oline help

I was gonna say..Mak Henry....dirty p.o.s on field...watch him game in and game out..always piling on....doing extra little subtle cheap shot things....thats what sub par guys I guess need to do, in order to compete and yup Marino is complete dirty garbage...Obviously related to Dyson...Must be cuzzins

I dunno if he deserved more... this is a habit with fajardo, goes down to slide really late all the time. Leaves himself open to those shots doing it. 15 yard penalty but I don't think it's a terribly dirty play. Safety coming downhill and qb waits until the last second to bail out. 

There is a craft brewery out of Minnesota that makes this:

It is my Rider game post game beer of choice

I just love that it's 3 years running we send those assholes home crying about what might have been. 

It awesome.

Also the chances we play them a 4th time next year seems small so they will have to live with it for some time.

thats right eh?....ha....nice

The current temp forecast for next Sunday is -1 here. So basically yesterday's game found the coldest Sunday it could.

I never like these hits and given the variables, which include our QB having a history with the kind of injuries these hits can cause, I’d genuinely like to see them given a steeper punishment than 15 yards.

That being said, you’re right. CF is a known late slider. Did you see that Pitt QB fake a slide over the weekend then run it to the house?

I saw that. It was ridiculous. That should be a 15 yard penalty going the other way. 

 

And, I agree. stiffer penalties when hitting a vulnerable player. Alexander certainly did take his shot and deserved to be penalized. I thought he went a bit over the top of CF, so both are lucky he didn't get more than a glancing blow on him.

Wasn't as much a fake slide as it was an athlete reacting in the moment.   In either event, it was a brilliant play and probably the last time you ever see it in college football.  

I have been ssying all year CF slides the way he does to get "late hits".

He does gets down late knowing guys are committed and he loiters on the sidelines knowing he can't get touched.

It is extremely annoying. That said, refs are mostly on to it and he doesn't get the calls he got even last year.

You know what I think it is? I think he is just too stupid to safe himself. Tons of passes last night he threw when he had no business throwing. Buys a bit of time and throws a prayer as he is being dragged down. Gutsy maybe, but about as bright as a bag of hammers.

He most certainly is the personification of "chuck and duck".

He is not a cerebral QB, but he certainly seems to know when he thinks a late hit happens because he starts crying to the refs immediately.

The worst of all is him getting chased out of the pocket and he slides right near to sideline behind the LOS knowing a guy ia on top of him.

Drives me bonkers.

There should have been a 15 yard penalty on Alexander. Not only did he hit a sliding QB, he hit him in the head with his elbow. That's a penalty every single time.

There WAS a penalty on BA there if I'm not mistaken?
