McMahon doesn't have a roof, so no, doesn't look like a toilet: seat:https://www.google.ca/maps/place/McMahon+Stadium/@51.0705269,-114.1220417,421m/data=!3m2!1e3!5s0x53716fa41ee999fd:0x3333a570bd07a8ec!4m6!3m5!1s0x53716fa404414271:0xf0f4b301ee305ac8!8m2!3d51.0704555!4d-114.121497!16s%2Fg%2F11bc65sdpl?entry=ttu

Commonwealth same as McMahon, but bigger:

Mosaic definitely looks like a public toilet seat:

Princess Auto Stadium doesn't have a round roof at all:
https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Princess+Auto+Stadium/@49.8078139,-97.143562,433m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x52ea7377de57b1bb:0x90cef9b21669335b!8m2!3d49.8076999!4d-97.1431117!16s%2Fm%2F03qhnh4?entry=ttu

BMO Field looks like a box:

Tim Horton's Field also looks like a box:

TD place is pretty square as well:

Percival Molson Stadium is similar in shape to McMahon and Commonwealth:

So yeah, only Mosaic looks like a toilet seat, and the closest other one is the lid that is BC Place.

 

 

This is the kind of due diligence I come here for. Thank you.

If I'm Sask I'm torturing Jefferson with RPO stuff with strong focus on the R and the O.  He doesn't have the patience or the energy to play that game.

The Bombers need to mitigate this with LB spying.  LB's need to make big plays in this game.

I wonder if the opponent has anything to do with Tony Jones coming onto the roster. We'll have to wait and see if he gets any reps on D.

he better get reps...from what I recall he was a good physical tackler....we have 3..4 guys on regular duty who out right suck as of late

No question that the Riders will come at Collaros with pressure and blitzes- they know all about the weaknesses in the Bomber O-line and how poorly Collaros played when his o-line protection was theoretical and not actual. If Biggie trots out onto the field, the Rider running backs will be smacking their lips.                 Along that same line, Patterson will be in trouble if he has to rely on his passing game. So, it all comes down to two players in the middle- Kolankowski and Bighill.

Speaking of the Toilet Bowl, is it still IGF West or did it get renamed to PAS West?

If we win tonight PAS west it is. Haven’t played there yet lol with ours being called PAS yet 

Some what ironic and very fitting tho, Mosaic is a type of tile people put in bathrooms. As a matter of fact the old outhouse bench where the seat sits is in mosaic.  Things that make you go hmmm

830 is a late one. 730 Regina time is still a late one also. I’d imagine lots of green seats tonight. Also we shouldn’t play Sask until Labour Day. They are our rivals. Just best to have the 2 b2b games. If 3 needed then week 16 or so instead of b4 Labour Day.  Kinda kills the mystique of the LDC.

I Find it interesting that they have a home game on this weekend. Biggest farm show in western Canada (Ag in Motion) is happening in Saskatoon.

Calling it POS works for me. 

If the stands dont look full then Rider fans can blame it on an accident.

 

Overlapping games is an interesting tsn choice

And why would the early game be in 4k? Shud be this one.

Let’s go Blue. 

Case starts it off and here comes Zach. 

You got problems when you can't jam pack for the Bombers

Josh Johnson looking like he’s gonna be Wilson this week.

Its too hot there tonight.

Zach not forcing it long is wild. He’s going full on Matt Nichols. Here comes medlock for 3 and it’s 3 0 blue. 

If I’m Sask I’m running the ball. 

Can’t be mad at points on the first drive. I might’ve gone for it 3rd and 2 from the riders 27. 

Riders choice of jersey, pants combo is hilarious.

I like taking the FG, but I wouldn't have been mad at going for it. Decent drive to start.

Those uniforms with that logo, did the Riders get those at the Seattle Kraken's garage sale?

They'll be in the tuxedo rentals soon!

 

Willy doesn’t bite. Solid play
