How is it any different than your request to have the Labour Day thread title changed to “Banjo Bowl Preview Game”

Sadly I’m not sure you can demand one be respected and not the other.

 

That's not even close to a fair equivalency and you know it.

No one in on the Bombers BOD or management calls The Labour Day Classic the "Banjo Bowl Preview Game"

Kyran Moore was cut today. I was hoping I’d never have to cheer for him…

I hope everybody here has somebody in their life who loves them as much as Booch loves our backups.

O'Shea says every player is a starter so why pick on Booch.

I mean, obviously. I’m sure the higher ups on the Riders also call it the Banjo Bowl.

I do not, however, think it makes much sense to be okay with calling the LDC the “Banjo Bowl Preview” but be mad because Rider fans are calling the BB the “Labour Day rematch.”

In summary, Riders suck.

Last weekend... Either the CJOB pre game or the Handled Internally podcast (can't remember which) said Wade has taken to calling it that. And he should... The Labour Day game has become a joke where they can barely sell enough tickets.... And our game is the standard bearer for live CFL football. Yes our team is not great this year, but when it comes to watching a CFL game live, there's Winnipeg and there's everyone else a long way back. 

Tl/Dr: Banjo Bowl Preview Game and Banjo Bowl. Full stop.

Because the rider suck. They are ******* clownshoes.

CFL transactions page says Cobb goes to the PR and Matthew Peterson comes back on the AR.

Apparently Eli and Vibert were splitting time at left guard on Wednesday so I guess if Wallace and Vanterpool are both out then probably Vibert comes on as the 6th and Eli starts at LG.

This is a fair point.   Just let the fan bases do what they want to do.  We call the Labor Day game the banjo bowl warm up... And they'll call it the Labor Day rematch.  

There are worse things to get all bent out of shape about.

man eli has struggled in pass pro at G, vibert has upside but i think he’s a year two step up away from being a guy you’re comfy with. 

 That said, it’d be funny if vibert is on the ar because then eli is the 3rd best centre at best on our ar lol 

[rebusrankin]

That scares me about the oline.

Our centre doesn't need to block anyone, so they'd both be good there.

Centres do, actually. Teams play a nose, twist, or cross face our centre on the massive majority of passing downs.

Dline is looking rough. Hope Lawson stays healthy. I wonder how Adams and Woods feel watching Kornelson get on the AR for no good reason. 9 starting CDNs...

[Atomic]

Wilson, Kramdi, Kornelson, Peterson, Vanterpool IN

Logan, Schoen, Cobb, Schmekel, Weitz OUT

Wallace is a GTD
