*Note: a win this weekend would clinch a playoff spot for the Blue Bombers for a seventh straight season, their longest run since a 17-year streak ended in 1997.

- Zach Collaros is 6-0 in his career in Labour Day Classic games – 3-0 during his days in Hamilton, 1-0 in his one season in Saskatchewan and 2-0 in Winnipeg. In those games has a 13:3 TD-to-interception ratio while passing for 300 yards three times and over 400 yards in 2015 while with the Ticats.

- The Blue Bombers are 24-3 against West Division clubs since 2021.

- A victory in Regina this weekend would give the Blue Bombers a winning record on the road for the third consecutive season, matching a mark last set from 1960-62.

These are the good times, folks. I hope you are all savoring them.

I get that you guys enjoy hyperbole, but that city has improved considerably.

Cheers. 

Compared to 1917, maybe.

I’ll be shocked if Dolegala doesn’t throw at least 2 picks.

In the first Q?

Yep. We scared of their qb3. Mortified. Petrified. Terrified of him. He’s 6’7 oohhhh.  2 inches taller than cornielius. Can you imagine how heavy his balls must be? I mean his passes! Tsn has certainly pumped his balls dry 

Jake will have a tough time getting his passes past Willie, who stands at an impressive 6'7"!

Bombers won toss and took ball...shocked they didn't defer.

Tons of blue there 

Boy that sell our crowd looks sparse. 

Doesn’t look like it went 10 before he hit it. 

Hand hit it lol 

Pom poms in the booth are out early

Almost dribbled it twice and they didn’t say a word lol 

Just me or was that the dumbest waste of a trick play ever?

Why delay and option when you aren’t running the qb cmon 

Worst part of the onside kick is we wasted our choice.

Don’t hate the call but it ended up being not worth for them 

Dalke just takes Demski down lol.  Nice cover.

Neither DB looked back for the ball and Dalke was all over him before the ball got there

Neilsen blowing his load over Sask having a 2 and out… it’s bad when Suitor sounds more impartial.

cbs sportsnet has delayed the game for girls soccer

Parker is tough but man he’s not dangerous with out miles of space 

That's a bit better from Parker get the ball head up field

A lot of blue and empty seats 

Suitor just said "our cover teams" referring to the Riders.

That's 15 against the Riders

Moncrief dirty af 

And the Sask penalty parade begins

Dobson drawing the call 

Spattering of blue? 3-4K?

Dolegala is in the silent count
