Hi Fellow Fans!

I'm excited to announce that I've joined former CFL on TSN reporter and Winnipegger Darrin Bauming's platform Bonfire Sports. 

Each week we'll be doing three shows:

1. Bonfire Midweek with Zach and DB: Tuesdays at 7:30 PM (this week it's today at 7:30 bc of coach's show and preseason game wk 2)

2. Bonfire After Dark Post-Game Show: After every game, about 1 after the final whistle.

3. Best of all, Darrin's weekly pre-game with Chris Walby. 

Bonfire Sports - YouTube

We have a chat scrolling on the side and put up questions/comments on the big board. It's fun and interactive for sure. 

I invite anyone on this forum to join the fun. 

If you miss the live show, it's available on our YouTube page right after, and is available on the Bonfire Sports podcast soon after as well. 

Go Blue!

Yeah for now as Darrin gets into hockey. Sorry about that! 

Hi all, I’ve stopped posting here because all you have to do is get the show on YouTube or on your favourite podcast app. Didn’t seem necessary to post here each week. 

www.YouTube.com/bonfiresports. 

does the show start at 2 pm cst?

3pm cst?

 

The first time I tuned in was tonight. Because I finally figured out how to watch it. Bauming was muted and Zach was waking up the family. I had to shut it down. Sorry guys but you gotta get your tech together. I was very interested in the breakdown of this game from all the hype with Rourke but I just couldn't keep up with the volume control. 

Also on all your fave podcast apps.

Sorry about that! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I think the sound has been cleared up now. Let me know if it continues to be an issue! 

It has been good since then! All good now!

Just started watching this episode Zach, at 3 minutes in you're referencing the "horrid mistake" that Dinwiddie made on 3rd and 1.

No offence or shade intended here but you're way off base on this one for at least 4 reasons which come easily to mind from our standpoint:

1) We have been garbage at "__ & 1" all season. We have no short yardage player to insert. It's been brutal to the point that we just know that 2nd and 1 for us always ends up as 3rd & 2. It is the biggest blindspot in an otherwise stacked roster with an excellent O-Line... we have zero short yardage to speak of in a league where it is among the most vital things for an offence to have. This is now a 2 season problem.

2) Coming into a game with our backup QB put us in a mindset of getting points on the board no matter what. Anyway and anyhow. Can't risk coming away with zero. I expected Lirim to be kicking from midfield. That was the mindset.

3) The very likely chance of getting stuffed at the goal line gives such a momentum and confidence boost to a defence. No way were we giving you that.

4) We could make an easy kick and take Arbuckle off the field and tell him "Atta Boy Nick! You just marched down the field and put points on the board!"

 

Not so horrid if you look at it through our lens, is it?

Darrin actually said it. I wasn’t really thinking about that play at the time but I do like your argument. 

This Bonfire Podcast will become legendary, but maybe not in a good way.  How many beers does a big man like Walby have to consume to reach this level of inebriation?

He lives on Netley Creek, so probably more than you want to know about

Main place is on the creek at Petersfield.  His best buddy Rick moved to BC. Rick is about 5 feet tall, was always a good time with those two 

That time of year again my friends! 
 

Today’s pregame with Walby. Sober this time.
