bluto Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) I thought Kravitz was the best GC HT I've seen, Came out. Turned it up to 11. Kicked ass. Walked off with a wave. As for getting Green Day (having already got Carrie Underwood for Friday), this is a pretty big time lineup. Twisted Tea really upgraded this year.

bearpants Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 I actually thought Arkells was good in 2021... despite the miming musicians... but adding the Lumineers ruined it... they thought adding a bigger name would help, but their style is just so boring for a half time show... I legitimately don't even remember who it was last year... Let's get Springsteen for 2025!

bluto Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Do we know if Twisted Tea has the contract to be the HT sponsor for next year? I'm inclined to hope they do. Seems like after last year's dud, they knew that they needed to step up. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 I think the CFL is probably due for a legit hip hop half time show, and I'm thinking BC is the perfect place for that. Wouldn't surprise me to get someone like Drake for next year if they maintain a large budget. wbbfan, Wanna-B-Fanboy and Bubba Zanetti 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If doman is the main guy you can bet it’ll be the biggest show in a decade. Agree totally that they are past due for some hip hop and while I don’t listen to drake hed be a gigantic get for the league. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's primarily the sponsor, then it's TSN, then the host committee...... in that order. That is my general understanding of how these things work, just from being involved in concert promotion stuff the last 20+ years. When in doubt, it's the ones paying the bills that get the most say... wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that grey cup, as a 13 year old kid. Flew all the way to watch Dinwiddie throw an "interception" to seal the Bombers fate. Saw him at the airport and told him he played a great game. I'll never forget those memories. That's why I think it's important to get kids invested in the cfl...

Maybe not a "great" game ha. We had a chance to win it right till the end. ******* Dinwiddie should have ran for the first down Wanna-B-Fanboy, wbbfan and Noeller 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was brutal. If Dinwiddie had played poorly we would have won. He just had to protect the ball and not make multiple back-breaking brutal throws/decisions. And he did.

Noeller Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 It was his first ever pro snaps!!! Jesus Christ... I can't even believe we're still talking about this.

It had to have informed his decision process. Had to. I'd bet that losing that game in 2007 in part, made Dinwiddie the man that he is. Last Friday won't be the last game he gives to the backups this season.

Not to mention the fact taking Dukes (QB 2) out (i.e., see ya important experience and confidence builder) where the game was still in the balance but packaging it as hey this is what we did in the pre-season, played all QB's although they didn't play all QB's in this game. Please. You can like Dinwiddie for his playing days and not like his coaching tactics all in one btw. ps Argos suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
