Too soon?  Too many truly painful Grey Cup losses have taken the sting out of yesterday's loss already.

Time to look forward while we cope with the recent disappointment.  

Who do we keep?  Who do we let go?  Who do we go after?

Someone was going to start this thread at some point.

 

 

wondering if it makes any sense to start a GC'25 thread, two years away? Maybe not quite yet. At any rate, that vid was unreal @rileymarra!! Got a little broken up watching that....whew. 2025 is going to be a massive year and I can't f***ing WAIT!

If it was this year - that would be awesome. In 2025......well let's just hope they're able to watch the game!

 

Maybe this, though?

With how much Jericho has been in the Winnipeg media the last few days, I was wondering this as well.

interesting note....hopefully this doesn't mean exorbitant pricing because of less tix overall:

CFL has set Nov. 17 as the date for the '25 Grey Cup, but that could change. Randy Ambrosie: “We have other things going on; one of them is expansion which is a huge priority for us. We know if we can land our expansion strategy that could advance Grey Cup by a couple of weeks.”

Cfl gonna own the team in Halifax? Seems somewhat plausible but a building would still be required.. wonder if we see what BC did when their currebt dome was being renod, and have a "pop up stadium" instead.

    Can we see them coming back !  

You gotta think 20k minimum seating tho for cfl 

Would this change the narrative on ambroise if he achieved a 10th team in the league?

For me it would certainly help

I'm concerned that Ambrosie is rushing the expansion (for whatever reason) and not taking into consideration the long-term viability of it. Nobody wants another situation like Ottawa used to be (on again, off again, on again, off again...)

All speculative with no info at all. But I beg the question. If the CFL has fronted the cash for Montreal, toronto, etc in the past. Is it impractical for the league to front the 10th team for 5 or so years?

Would be awesome if Jericho came for the festivities 

Bombers added a few camp bodies

Receivers Tre Turner and Manasseh Bailey, Canadian DB Jordan Veltri and the one I’m probably most intrigued by - DT O’Bryan Goodson

 

Interesting note on Tre Turner: might be the first Bomber born in the 2000s, he’s only 22

Goodson looks to be a Casey Sayles type of NT. Not the biggest dude but very agile for a 300 lber. Will be nice to see what he can do.

well, yesterday's announcement really did it...... got our (partial) season tickets selected today, flights for the home opener booked, and plans made for July 7 vs Stamps and Banjo Bowl. Flair sale on now very helpful (hopefully they will actually have planes by this summer...ha) 

Can't f***ing wait for this summer....
