White Out Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I may go if my buddy gives me a free ticket. I stopped spending money on the Bombers in Alberta years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northof60 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) It's been a long time since we've won in Calgary, but it's also been a long time since I've actually had the opportunity to get to a game. I've planned my vacations the past four years around the Bomber schedule - may as well visit family in Manitoba and see a game, but it's nice to have the ability to see them close.

Noeller Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 It was one of the greatest sporting events I've ever been at. Bombers fans along the sidelines getting high fives from all the players and they gave me a pair of game worn cutter gloves from. That day. Incredible day....

That team was truly awesome. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 That game in 2001 was the start of a nearly magical season. If only the ending was better. 2001 is better than 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I don't understand why people are dismissing the 2014 game....considering the streak in AB, I'll take any win. That was as legit as anything. The defense stood on their heads and had an incredible afternoon. That was an awesome day...don't diminish it....

The Bombers lost, but caused 7 or 8 Edmonton turnovers. Every time a turnover happened, I turned and faced the crowd in my section yelling "Ohhhh, Noooooo! OHHHH, NOOOOOO!!!". The fans hated me, and yelled to sit down. That was fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

November 1, 2014 was the last win in Calgary. It has been much longer since they won in Edmonton and on Labour Day. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) Historically, the Bombers have done very poorly, but maybe they are due. Realistically (he said while wiping a tear from his eye), Huffer will detonate on the sidelines if the Horsemen do not start vigorously, and Dickinson ought to have his charges ready, so the Bombers had better have their jockstraps on tight. If the Bombers do their Keystone Kops routine again in the first half, I'm not sure that the mushroom cloud over Cowgary won't be O'Shea.

B-F-F-C Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Somebody better tell Weston the games on Friday. But again with the slow starts that have been plaguing us. Maybe MOS should tell the team the games on Thursday. IC Khari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
