I'm a little sad how dead this thread is... C'mon fellas!

Before Winnipeg... In BC.... When he was fully healthy. It was after Dickenson and before Lulay.

Career 3rd Stringer Cosplaying A Starter

Neither here nor there, but do better in the gf department, fellas. I married someone who might care more about the team than I do. And it was a non negotiable when we got together that the Bombers and Bombers games, specifically, would trump everything else. She got on board (in 2010) and then probably overtook me in the fandom over the last while.

Pierce, with the Lions at his peak, was a better QB than KG5 in his best year. But I absolutely love Glenn. Loved him when he was first brought in as a Rider and was stoked we brought him over. Still, Pierce, before he got busted up (while still with the Lions) was a better QB. Just very short lived and, as mentioned, KG5 had the better career.

So the guy who runs this account is a Riders fan, clearly, but this statement bothers me.... I feel like the Bombers had exemplary attendance with worse records for years. I will fight to the death that Winnipeg has way more hardcore fans than the Riders. The Riders have a lot more bandwagon fans.

As a career retrospective, I can agree with that. Damn concussions.

You and I have both said for ages that the Gappers had an inordinate number of fair weather fans and needed a generation of losing like this to prove who's for real and who isn't (in terms of fans)...

I hate this debate, but at their respective peaks, Buck was a way better QB than Glenn. And I say that as a big fan of KG5.

6pm CT kickoff at IGF. With a Toronto win over the Leos and Winnipeg over Edm, we can all lock down some tix for Sunday Nov 13! LFG!

Ya just felt like the OL he was up against seemed twice his size. He was just getting swallowed.

Hilarious how bad both of these teams are. You love to see it.

I didn't want to be the first adult here to say it....

**** the Riders so very very much, and always.

What I saw from Kongbo last night was he looked SMALL... Almost swallowed up by the OL. It almost seemed like Boris Bede vs Big Stan in a 1-on-1...

I remember at the time thinking that Glenn just really needed a change of scenery. Felt like things weren't going to get better for him in Wpg, tho I kind of figured he'd be good again somewhere else. He's one of those guys with a permanent chip on his shoulder and always pissed off about something and wanting to show someone up. The Boat Game was his crowning achievement. My initial thought with bringing in Kelly was that I liked legacy guys. Guys who had success in Winnipeg before and would be proud to be a Bomber. That lasted a VERY short amount of time. Jamie Stoddard getting cut that year, Milt being gone.... There was a lotta stuff I was mad about before TC was even done in 2009. I was at work when the news broke that he'd been arrested and all of a sudden there was word the club could dump him because it violated his contract. That was a wild night with news coming in fast and furious. What an absolutely farcical time in the history of this storied franchise.

The "don't rest guys... Pedal to the metal..." is awesome until Collaros gets smoked in the soft melon and the season is over. *knocks on wooden forehead*

💯

Have seen Kongbo a few times in this terribly boring football game. Playing one end spot...

Ahhhh maybe that's what it was... But ya... Walters has zero f***s to give the rest of the league.

AB UCP members choose Danielle Smith as the new premier. She is an absolute loony toon. Has already talked about separating AB from Canada (The Alberta Sovereignty Act), pulling out of CPP in favour of a provincial one, and many other things. In the first 5 minutes if her acceptance speech she echoed a lot of PPs talking points. May God (??) help us.....

Blech. I'm negative (x2) so far, but shitty cold for the past week that just won't kick. That time of year when it usually seems to happen. I forgot how shitty it can be having a cold... It's been a while!

so just a bit of back story.... and this is actually kind of insane to think about in retrospect, but do you guys remember the year we grabbed Big Stan in FA? We were actually trying to get Sir Vincent Rogers (yikes...) and missed on that, so they went out and got Bryant, who of course, is even better. And I'd been running around doing stuff that day, and 17to85 sends me a text "Kyle Walters just long cocked everyone in the league..." and we've been laughing about that ever since. I feel like Walters does this a lot. Just the best GM in the league...

well and Woogie and Sheed.....Christ almighty.

Yeah, 17to85 and I were just talking about this.... Walters maybe just loading up. It's the kind of long-cock move that Walters loves to pull on the rest of the league. Just drop a bag of **** you on everyone's doorstep.
