That would be insane if they did it again in a stadium this size. I've got 1 game in June vs Edm, 2 back to back at the end of July, and Banjo Bowl... So far. Looking into using my remaining vacation days for the fiscal year on an August trip home for another game ... Better hustle on the tix i suppose.

Should the Bombers look at expanding PAS to 40000? To take advantage of their popularity?

All of this seems like not very good news...

Personally I think they are trying to decide whether to play 3 Nat receivers or 3 Nat OL. That would give the illusion we are starting 9 because you have to give each set of 3 a long look. Day 5 at the beginning of camp is probably not what we are going to 5 days before the end of camp.

IMHO, if we went with 3 NAT receivers either Cobb/Corcoran/Clercius would have to have incredible camps or our contingent of new IMP recruits a total disaster

Well, so far a 3rd American hasn't even received an opportunity. That said, they just cut Mcghee from the secondary and he had taken every rep with the defensive starters.

Still, I look at as their plan is to start 2 Americans, 2 Nats, and then rotate between Vibert, Daniels, Chris-Ike, and Cobb. I don't think the 5 receiver set will be the most common alignment.

Not at all. Ontaria seems to be having a great camp, but also mixed with going down every other day.

We have no receiver depth to absorb losing one of White, Wilson, Demski.

If they go White/Wilson/Demski/Nield and make the 5th spot a rotation of Clercius/Daniels/MCI, then they should go 3 american olineman. No reason to start both 3 Canadian olineman and receivers given our talent at both spots.

Starting 3 canadian receivers is just plain dumb....especially if not needed...Even with 3 import olineman not needed. Would make us a way weaker offene as that 3rd giy would just be a position taker and no real threat.

Even 3 import oline guys is kinda dumb if it doesnt make us significantly better, as it just denies our defence an import where it would have a way bigger impact

If you declare 2 on defence...and 5 on offence for Canadians, as well as use the Nationlized american we can sub pretty freely regardless, so the extra 2 starting Canadians is pointless...especially if they are not the best players available....and in all honesty they won't be...experienced or not...they wont

I hope and think we really are looking to put Kramdi at safety...if not full time...a lot as that makes sense as well as he is probably talent and impact wise our 4th best option there...3rd at best...and dont care that he is super smart and knows all the positions....slap him at safety then so he can oversee what we are lined up in and shout out corrections if his smartness see's an alignment error

Thats one my main issues with Osh and hoped it was gonna change....the need in his mind to use extra Canadians even though they not the best....
