  1. Yes....and just remembering is sometimes a feat in itself......
  2. I hope you're not referencing me with that comment LOL...A friends of mine (who's the same age) always has a line I like when someone asks his age...His response is ''Well I'm older than dirt"...Always get a chuckle out of that one..As for me I like to put things into context...for a guy like J5V...I'll put it this way...comparing our ages...when he was starting kindygarten I was in high school AND Nicholson was in high school when I started school...You can take it from there... AND everyone should do as good as Bud has....one heckuva character.
  3. How old is the guy in my avy???and you're getting close lol....Hey I've been a Bomber fan since I was twelve and still remember vividly those Cups Bud brought us...Grant was and still is an inspiration ....I just hope I can hang around as long as he has
  4. That picture of Bud at the top says it all for me when he coached here....He was Mr. Calm and Cool and smart as a fox...I remember one Grey Cup against Ham. when their coach at that time, Jim Trimble, was all over the media saying, ' We (the cats) are going to waffle them' ...Grant didn't say much... we just went out and kicked their arse"... taking the Cup back home.. That sure shut up that crew ...Bud was a coach who just went about his business and delivered....AND boy did he deliver...Just wish some of the young fans of today could experience what we had back then...Seems so very long ago but man did we have a winner, when Bud and the Bombers ruled the league. Very deserving honour.
  5. So Mr. Trouba wants out of the Peg.....What///he doesn't like it here??.....Money????Grant him his wish if he doesn't want to be part of the Jets future...Helluva talent but you gotta want to be here firstly...Too bad I really liked the guy ..I do know one thing we aren't going to make a deal for another lesser defenceman..So get those phones ringing Chevy...We can see the first preseason opener on the horizon..
  6. I agree with you to a certain extent....players better and should be ready to play every down (football ex.)...Coaching encompasses many facets of a game including mentally preparing your players...I don't know if O'Shea takes the locker room rah rah stuff seriously as he seems to come out with what seems to be a blasé attitude... He doesn't seem ready at times and needs to take smelling salts (seen it on a few occasions) to get him engaged or something...Could it be that it rubs off on the players??.. Maybe it's just me and what I see... The physical part should be a given and the coach knows who he has on his bench...I've been around sports all my life playing them and working in it...Individuals are all different and every coach has his way of dealing with things in his own way...Could be this coach (Mike O) gets the results he wants, preparing the way he wants...Can't argue with the recent success but it wasn't always that way...(see record of the last few years)...The team seems to need time to rev up...very rarely do I see us 'fly out of the gate"...We always seem to start very slow and in that last game against Cal. that extended to the second half...You tell me why that is????
  7. We came out flatter than a pancake...can't do that against good teams....Is that on coaching???? I would say partly but the players have to wear some of that as well...Does this loss affect contract talks??? Shouldn't as we still have a long way to go in 16' ...IF all of the wheels fall off between now and our season ender then we certainly have to have a rethink about extensions...till then keep talking.
  8. Did we even get one sack in that heartbreaker....Can't remember one and we were missing Cole...It'll be a dif. story if we meet them in the postseason ...and Bo will be 'peeping' a dif. tune...
  9. Cal. seemed to march at will when they needed to......Crappy outcome ...but we can't hang our heads after that one...I thought O'Shea should have challenged that last catch by Cal. that put them in the position to win it...nothing to lose at that point except the game.
  10. You gotta be fricken kidding me.... The kicker we dumped comes back to haunt us once again...Real problem was putting him in the position to kick it in the first place BUT in Calgary....whoah....that was some serious football we played right there but alas came up short
  11. Is this the same club that was playing the first half?...Mike O weaving his magic....wow....Even if we don't pull this one out we certainly look like the club I thought we were...Quite the turnaround..GoBombers
  12. Did we actually go to Cal. with the intention of winning this game...sure couldn't tell by that first half performance....What a stinker...We don't look like we care if we're playing or not...Guess we're not in the elite part of the league yet judging by this pathetic crap.
  13. Wally is back to squinting on the sidelines....says..'hey wah happened we had them'.... Youthful gunslinger Jennings is going to cost the leos a few...that was one of them...We have them back to back coming up....Going to be some tuff competition..
  14. B..........considered 'collaterally damaged' and drunk.
  15. Personally I think we move on from Richards....What a useless pic...and we passed on Durant for this injury waiting to happen...Send him back to Saskabush and go after Demski when his contract is up in Jonesville.
  16. Outlaw has certainly got the height and speed we need....could be a find...Don't know if he rode with Jesse James and can shoot straight or not but he can catch...This isn't the arena league however and I will wait and see how he performs on a larger playing surface before coming to any conclusions...Hope he gets a shot..
  17. What you say?....the Bombers on the rise and you know we're going to be in the thick of things...His loss I guess when the Bombers move on in the playoffs and B.C. is sitting on the sidelines...heh heh
  18. Agreed... I hope we went after him ... may have been too expensive and we bailed... Guess my biggest beef is that a team we are in tight competition with signed him and got better...
  19. Should have went hard after Sinkfield....Sure could have used him...error on Walters, who hasn't made that many this year...Oh well I guess we fly with what we have and pray we don't take anymore nics in the receiving corps....B.C. get's a good one and a lot tougher..crap.
  20. Stickem replied to wbbfan's post in a topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
    We have to find a way to stop the 'tank' Messam....Take the track off that guy and that's a start...Bo Levi and his scrambling plus his accurate arm are a tough act to stop....Pressure ...pressure and more pressure till he makes a mistake and coughs it up....Our ball hawks could make a big dif....Our offence has to be better in the red zone...We can't keep knocking on the oppositions door and walking away with three...Going to be a tough game to win as everyone knows we don't win Cal. BUT we've gone against the grain a few times this year (see LD) and beat that curse... Maybe it's time we beat another one.
  21. Flanders...Dressler...Loffler.....Ned did a great job filling in for Harris...he has some serious game...Dressler...what else can you say about the little guy but he plays like a giant...Loffler...this kid is the real deal and ignites our D...more I see of him...more I see rook of the year.
  22. I'm leaning a little to locking him up now...BUT it would be prudent to see how the remaining games go...Up until now O'Shea has certainly earned the right to preliminary contract extension talks...Ditto Walters.
  23. Our D is showing the way for us that's for sure....solid play....We have some serious talent on the defence and it still has room to grow...IF defences win championships, then we have a good shot at going a long way...Fantastic AND what can you say about Nichols...the guys just keeps on winning...Seems to find a way and his composure is something else...We really never knew what we had languishing on the bench...Great win.
  24. Someone should take that make-up gun and give that hayseed Pedersen a blast in the arse...Glad he's turfed...He'll do alright in Saskabush though....Dunk was doing a good job...Don't understand punting him BUT we can still get his stuff...good thing.
  25. So when does the CFL tour 2 start?....Muamba could be a definite asset to any team BUT it seems he has very high employment standards attached to his hiring...Maybe his agent has tempered them a bit since his nfl gigs have dried up...I would think playing with his brother in Edm. might see him going there...Riders wouldn't attract flies to that circus...He's done Mont. so the other clown show won't happen...That leaves B.C...Cal....T.O. ...Ham and Ottawa... We might be interested but I somehow think that ship has sailed as he wouldn't even give us a sniff on his last tour...Maybe if he thinks things have changed here he might grace us with a call...Then again......
