Hey, I'll admit it. I didn't recognize names of more than one of our alumni team. Here I was thinking I was a fan and all

Carlyle and Housley are busy coaching, too bad because they'd be nice addition ins. I'd love to see some of those 90's Jets guys mentioned above, just because I actually saw them play live. The Bulin Wall in particular, we're short a goalie. As for fan fav Tie Domi... someone has to scrap with Semenko, no?

The funniest part was the chants of "Captain Wheeler!" After 26 was introduced. Team may have not decided on the captaincy but the fanbase has spoken.

Show your Willy some love. You seem mad.

Well...that was a game. Who is this Blue team? I don't know, but I sure as hell like it. All 3 phases clicking, guys are very visibly motivated and engaged right now - fun to see a team playing with passion again. And of course executing the gameplan. I managed to stick it out as well. Left the stadium at 1 and had a walk to StV park, then got dropped off at my vehicle. Home at 2am, I was supposed to be in at 8 this morning, but woke up at 7:52. Oops. Well. Worth. It. Big props to the others who stuck it out too. 17K is a pretty damn impressive number for how long it was delayed. Backs up what I've always thought about Bomber fans. We may not always have the biggest numbers, but I'll take Bomber diehards over any other teams every day of the week, and twice on gameday.

Darn that forecast isn't looking too good tonight! I was going to boat down to the game... Hope we don't get rained on too bad.

This works better....

Such jerks you guys are! It's the guy's birthday geeez! Priorities.

Given my success, or lacktherof this year, I might as well go with Milton Stegall. Serious pick, Clarence "Better than Sweden" Denmark.

Strictly from personal experience, this is the only negative trend I see of late here. I'd like to think I'm not a confrontational type on here; but when I have been it's been because people have responded to a post of mine and completely misrepresented the words I typed. This seems to happen frequently to others who post more, and seems to be the root of all these little spats. NOT a shot at anyone personally - but if you've got an issue with a poster, why not a) ignore b ) bring up with mods or c) avoid conversations with them? A few posters on here come to mind; guys who's football opinions I really respect. We get into a "debate" on the general thread and for a second I hate these guys! Then I ask myself, what am I here for? To have a great place to discuss football and the Jets - or to make friends and agree with everyone? Once I cool down and remind myself of that, it becomes a much more enjoyable place. Life's too short to have internet confrontations with faceless people online - in my opinion. Enjoy the weekend, folks.

Mourning Big Blue is the cream of the message board crop, that's for sure.

You get a thumbs up from me just for where you've put Stuart & Thorburn.

As yesterday was the anniversary of Stegall breaking the TD record, and I was rewatching the video - it occurred to me that moment is literally the best thing I've witnessed in person as a Bomber fan. So depressing to think that 20+ years of fandom, and we've been given a few playoff wins at home and that's about it. Man, thank Jeebus for Milton Stegall.

Bring Back Reggie Slack!

Does dressing only 6 OL concern anyone else? Is is it just a result of non-existent depth there? As far as I could find, OTT and SK are the only other 2 teams that dressed six OL (last week). Argos dressed 9 last week

This. Maybe not within this group, but I think the casual fan probably can't even list the years we went to the Cup; let alone how and why we lost them. If this team had one of those GC wins, I def think the problems now would be less magnified. That said, it is happening. And the fact it's all coincided with opening a brand new stadium... well that's just the definition of depressing.

@Noeller Canadian, indeed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Johnson Did y'all see the That 70's Show episode where The Rock played his dad Rocky?

Bombers could use a guy with an attitude like K.D. Williams right now. http://espn.go.com/espn/magazine/archives/news/story?page=magazine-19991115-article39

Because they've played a little internationally together? That seems like a pretty big reach, as a primary reason to want the kid. Don't get me wrong, seems uber-talented. But we've got an abundance of talented, young FW's - at every level too.

*searching for NHL news so we can change the topic... or perhaps it can be taken to a more relevant place on the board? Just a thought.
