Bombers Sign INT WR Ricky Collins
I think Seahawk fans are more like Rider fans.

Whatever we get can't be any worse than the Thursday night jerseys "outfits" of the NFL.

Around The League Off Season Discussion
If by some chance you are serious, what should the Regina team have to give Edmonton for taking their Head coach? They gave permission though. Do you think it would be fair if Steinhauer quit and signed to coach another team despite Hamilton saying no way. You can't just allow people to ignore valid contracts. Morally Ottawa should let the guy go..legally they shouldn't. And yet anyone can give proper notice and quit a job in the real world.

Bombers Under Investigation for 50-50 Fiasco
When I lived in Edmonton and had Eskies season tickets, the 50/50 was drawn, and you had to claim within 5 minutes. If the winner didn't, they would redraw at the same game.

Bombers Under Investigation for 50-50 Fiasco
I don’t think it’s that obvious Noeller. 3. Earlier this year there was another 50/50 draw that was not claimed. The winnings went to the next games 50/50 and because of the pot being so much bigger, 50/50 sales were way up. In light of recent events, that 50/50 draw has to be in question now too. It was claimed. But the person was ineligible. Completely different scenarios. Any idea of what made the person ineligible? Worked for Team, relative of someone who did, age, etc?

Bombers Under Investigation for 50-50 Fiasco
They'd be better off posting a picture of the winning number rather than typing it out. I'm meaning on the screens in the stadium and on the website. PS On a side note, why wouldn't the guy have gone to check the ticket after seeing the right number on the screen at the game?

You are not crazy. Only the speakers on the field and on the stage were going. The sound was not loud in section 228.

Grey Cup Ticket Sales
You lost me here. The home team is a huge factor. The 2011 Grey Cup was sold out because the Lions were in it. I know because I saw about 30,000 fake fans show up for the game decked out in orange, who probably hadn't been to a game in years. The Cup last year wasn't sold out because the Lions weren't in it. It wasn't "trendy" to be there so the fake fans didn't show up. I was in Abbotsford a few weeks ago having lunch with a guy, and he has Seahawks and Canucks season tickets. Almost everyone in the restaurant that he knew also were Seahawks season ticket holders. When I asked him if he went to any Lions games he just laughed at me. It's not "cool" to say you are going to the Lions game I guess. That was my point though, it wasn't needed before and I even brought up how it seemed to only start in 2011. 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007 sold well without the home team involved. I wasn't knocking Winnipeg when I brought up the home team thing and I know it provides a boost, but somethings off with the CFL these days, seems to have started in 2013, when the ratings were on pace for record highs, then IIRC once the 3rd week of September hit, they took a tumble. BC is in big trouble IMO, all the work that Bobby Ackles did there disappeared pretty quickly after his death. 2007 - Riders / Bombers in Cup in TO 2008 - Montreal was playing at home 2009 - Riders in Cup in Calgary 2010 - Riders in Cup in Edmoton 2011 - BC was playing at home These years were either the home team or Riders involved. The Riders in Edmonton or Calgary for regular season games sees quite a spike in attendance.

Post Season Diagnosis & Therapy
Well, it was nice to see many of the players we had brought in or had on the team had successful seasons on good teams. That means our talent was there. Odell Willis Adarius Bowman Donny Oramasionwu Chris Greaves Cauchy Muamba Cory Watson Justin Sorenson Wallace Miles (** yes I left Grigsby and Simpson off the list) Jovon Johnson Mo Hopkins (** yes I left Shawn Lemon off the list) We were in many games this year, just like Lapo's team from 2010. We were not playing catchup from deep holes like in the past either, just lacking the killer instinct. I'm wanting to see what O'Shea and Walters can bring to year 3.

Dolphins promote Zac Taylor (former Bomber)
http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/press-releases/article-1/PRESS-RELEASE-Dolphins-Announce-Coaching-Staff-Changes/15864562-55f8-412a-8947-9a77ea39f0b3 OC is fired, QB coach promoted for rest of season (Zac Taylor). He was a 4th string QB with the Bombers in 2007 (and may have even dressed in the Grey Cup, but I cannot find a GC roster)

Which of you posters will be at the GREYCUP 15 game?
Section 228 for me. Taking the Bombers bus in from Brandon.

Grey Cup Ticket Sales
Which games this year were we embarrassed at halftime? Besides the Hamilton blowout, we were in most games if not leading at some point in the 3rd or 4th quarters.

Grey Cup Ticket Sales
If the Bombers were playing in the Grey Cup in Winnipeg, the profits and attendance to all functions would be better. The Riders cashed in on that in 2013. Put BC and Hamilton in that game, and the atmosphere the whole week would have been drastically different.

The Next Step to Excitement: Change the Safety Touch
Can we give out participation ribbons too? And not keep score, but decide the game with a coin flip at the end? IMO, if you want to watch a different game, go watch a different game.

How to turn off a fanbase and build a solid disconnect with any new young fans.
I agree, that a loss is a loss in the standings. But if the team is playing hard, in the game for 4 quarters, and has a chance to win at the end, I enjoy the game. Falling down 20 points and then bringing the score close in garbage time is not a game I like to watch.

Disagree. Tim Burke era was the worst. Kneeling down to go to overtime? Hall and Boltus as QBs in the last game? I left the week 19 game at halftime. Halftime. After I drove 2+ hours to come to the game and my dad drove 4+ hours. Left at halftime.

The Jets never played or made the playoffs from 1996 to 2015. The Blue Jays made the playoffs for the first time since 1993 (22 years). What are you trying to say? Should we try to miss the playoffs until 2034?

NFL trade deadline is not week 6. This year it's November 3. Sorry, I was basing my answer off Madden 2006.

Grey Cup Tickets
Does anyone know when Grey Cup tickets will be distributed to the season ticket holders who bought them? I haven't seen mine yet.

Bombers now with MOS like Jets with Noel ...
Wow. Just wow. I came online to read a thread titled about MOS, the Bombers, Noel and/or the Jets only to find fighting, rants, and discussions about McDavid, the Oilers and buying tickets above, at, or below face value in western Canada. Can you guys make your own threads and move your conversations? Or do you need to hug it out?
