    Wow, that's just incredible. If you're not following individual states, you wouldn't really know. I believe most universities and colleges are back in the US, so I expect these numbers to rise. Public schools go back in less than 2 weeks. Population of North Dakota is ~762k.

    Winning!

    This is doubly great. First, MAGAs were fleeced of their money to build the wall that Mexico is paying for (πŸ˜‰) and the perpetrators of the fraud may go to jail.

  6. Was it retired? I couldn't remember. I know he's in their hall and the banner hangs high but I couldn't remember if the number had been retired.
  7. I've told this before but my mother is a Rider fan. I assume I'm adopted. She grew up in Saskatchewan, so I suppose it's not really her fault. Despite her poor character, she took me to my first football game on September 22nd, 1985 at Winnipeg Stadium to see the eight time and defending Grey Cup Champion, Winnipeg Blue Bomber face her two time Grey Cup Champion Saskatchewan Roughriders. We sat in the South East corner. Close to the field. The Bombers proceeded to pound the Riders 49-3. What a game. I don't remember much from the game except that the Bombers kept scoring and scoring and scoring. I also have a memory of Sandy "The Flame" Monteith being there and sitting close to us. We sat among a lot of Rider fans. Although this isn't my first Bomber memory, it was my first live game. Not a bad way to cement my fandom.
  8. Jets could retire his number anytime. He's in the Jets HOF. He is also in the Coyotes ring of honour, FWIW.

    Air Canada and WestJet have been pumping the ads out for recreational travel. SMH.

    Losing Gray would hurt. I don't see the others moving on. Maybe Lawler?

    Good point about the threads. I've been using the build up ones and the GDT to help refresh my memory and get material. I'll add them right now.
  12. Wait until you find out what Harris has done!
  13. We had a rough week. Everyone got injured and missed practice time. Even Harris hurt himself, although later wanted returned to the practice but MOS kept him out. Look at the O-line. That's pretty thin. Nichols had played his last game and we ran with two QBs.

    At the Hundredth Meridian, where the great pandemics begin.
  15. I wonder about the economics of this? How much would it cost them to rerun them and the offsetting revenue? It must not have made sense because they could certainly do this now for the Labour Day games going forward if it made financial sense. TSN certainly broadcast a lot of games this spring/summer. I would certainly enjoy watching last year's Labour Day game without the smell of Rider fans around me. Hated the ending but still...

    Don't forget that the moron thinks that people have life energy and that exercising uses it up.

    No, this a redo, where we can all correct our prior mistakes. We can embrace our Dominant Hall-D! We can embrace the subtle genius of the Lapo-ffense!

    My memory is fuzzy but pretty sure I said the same thing and that we wasted some draft picks. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
  20. Call them whatever you want.
  21. Week 11 features the Bombers (7-2) at the Elks (6-3) Storylines Bombers coming off back to back wins against the Stamps and the Lions. After Nichols gets injured, it's Streveler time. How will this unfold? Andrew Harris is suspended for positive PED test. Told that the Elks are for real and we're finally being tested. Ed Tait's preview: https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/08/22/game-preview-wpg-edm-4/ I'm having troubles finding a YouTube stream. If you can find a stream, let me know, please WEEK OF GAME THREAD: I strongly recommend scanning this thread. There was a lot going on and we were definitely the underdogs on paper that week.

    If you often find yourself defending racists, you're probably a racist.

    Hilarity would ensue as people proposed trading for that oft-injured QB Collaros.
