Well, 2;45 am on Sunday & no one has started the Grey Cup Game Day Thread so it might as well be me. Let's Go Bombers. Lucky #13.

Feeling a tad nervous about later today but I think we'll come through. I don't want to even make Cody Fajardo jokes as we all know this is a winner takes all one game championship so anything (good or bad) can happen. We all saw what happened last week & what occurred in 2001 so we'll have to play our best. If we play our game, we'll win. Not be overconfident or cocky. We're the better team so just take care of business & then we'll be Grey Cup champions.

You cannot have a crappy beer after a good one, just tastes like piss.

Need to go lighter to darker as the night progresses.

Any word on biggie and shoen

I'm gonna guess both are out 

Biggie was in a walking boot and I heard Schoen has a broken ankle through the grapevine so I'd be surprised and the Woli interview a few weeks back, he didn't come out and say DS is done but reading between the lines, I think he is out for the year

Catching some of the pre game preamble....why do they keep focusing on this apparently great Als defence who have strung some good games together at back half of season....yet nary a word on leagues best defence... statistically...points allowed wise ..and have done it all yr?

They really have fell in love with that last game and think the Als are some defensive juggernaut....and the 7 game win streak...2 teams are in win streaks last I checked

Both walked in just fine off the bus to the dressing room....guess we shall see eh? 😁

Schoen looked a little sketchy on entry but Bighill looked pretty normal.

Ya true. Interesting re biggie and schoen. Osh is gonna put them on the 46 man roster regardless I think if it's true u gotta be on it to get your name on the cup

Schoen always looks a bit odd walking....even jogging at times too

And if they can't perform...would trump the other questionable and almost dumb roster moves he's made...and that scenario actually is troubling me truth be told

My wife wasn't too keen on this custom though, we spent more time in pubs than exploring the sights some days 🤣

 

Holy ****- all this time I thought you were a woman!

If Biggie cant play and they restrict the number of names on the Cup I could see OShea offering to have Biggie's name put on instead of his.*

* if the Bombers win.

If Biggie and Schoen can't play, I hope they're not on the roster just to get their name on the cup.

And if that happens....do people still say he makes the correct decisions re roster?? 

Sure...u do a guy a solid to get his name inscribed...but u also bone 44 other guys from possibly getting their name on a cup if that majorly blows up in your face ..that would be the stupidest of stupid moves he's made...and should be grated over the coals in media fiercely for it...hope it doesn't happen

BA better hope he has a few more years of football left...

I hope he doesn't do something that stupid. It could cost us the game. Roster size is not that big that you can just keep players on it for a championship game that can't contribute.

Wasn’t it Tony Gabriel for the Ottawa Roughriders that played with one working leg?

Athletes these days.

Ahhh I'm not sure how that would work out for some of us.

Mrs Danger is inclined to explain a few things to you boys.

On my second Cuba Libre.  Can't wait for kick off.  I want to go to sleep happy tonight and that will be accomplished by a Bomber soul crushing beat down of the Als.

AFAIK You are still a Grey Cup champion even if you aren't engraved on the cup. Being engraved seems like pretty small potatos when looking at the main prize

Cleanse the palate with a shot of something clear, of course.

Streveler?

Streveler?

Broken foot...soldiered on

Osh is 100% the coach that would dress dead guys so they could be on the cup.

I just can't imagine that scenario. If they can't play, they can't play. Need all the healthy bodies we can muster.

Well....we did dress McRae last game for no particular reason...didn't take his parka off all game
