  1. I think the problem with that suggestion is then you lose casual fans who were never going to the game anyways but might tune in on TV just because football is on... Also, it penalizes long term season ticket holders who have to miss live games due to other commitments... then they have no opportunity to watch the game...
  2. You mean 50?? when Bighill first got here he was wearing 50 in TC because Gauthier has some kind of sentimental attachment to 44… I absolutely loved the idea of Bighill wearing 50 because that’s a badass MLB number and coach O’Shea… also Bighill is a player I liked watching as a Lion but LOVE watching as a Bomber…
  3. All good points…. The only slight change to the one I highlighted is that seeds 1 and 2 should go to the top team in each division, regardless if the 2nd place team on one side has a better record than the other first place team… that keeps some significance to the divisional split and increases the chances of an east/west Grey Cup…
  4. At the banjo bowl they had legendary Winnipeg musician Brent Fitz on stage (google him if you don't know who he is)... and was just fiddling around with a cowbell... it was an egregious misuse of his talents...
  5. I'm buying tickets for that game... you thought the 29 year drought was tough... goddammit that is gonna be a satisfying win!!
  6. I'm not burying BLM yet... although he may be done in Calgary... let's all remember Collaros was also "done" in 2019 and in 2021 he's the league MOP...

    Can somebody insert the "that's the joke" Rainier Wolfcastle gif?
  8. just another reason to not cheer for a Bombers/Riders west final... I really hope Sask loses the WSF and then someone asks "how important do you think the bye is?"...
  9. I really hope the "writers" at 3DN don't get paid for whatever this is...

    That's kind of the amazing part about this team... we win 45-0 and no single player really stands out and dominant... that's what you call a TEAM
  11. I've said this before... and I'll say it again... I will never "cheer" for this to happen because that means I'd be cheering for the Riders to win a game... and that will never happen...
  12. I think the team would probably still be as good, record wise... that D isn't changing no matter who the OC is... But I agree that Collaros, Lawler and Bailer likely would not be playing as well...

    I specifically remember starting to lose my patience in the 2016 season.... I was sitting at a game early in the season and remember saying to my friend I might cancel my season tickets if this season doesn't turn around and we keep O'Shea and Walters... well, the season did turn around... and I still have season tickets... and the rest is history... not sure if I ever commented in this thread as this isn't the kind of stuff I like to get into...
  14. The great thing about a potential Grey Cup match up against Toronto (I know, still a long ways to go)... they might be the only team the Bombers have a bone to pick with...
  15. LaPo was the OC... Kavis Reed was the STC...
  16. I'm sure some here can remember the specific details of what exactly happened... as I recall, the schmoes were wearing illegal cleats and they had significantly better traction in the snow because of it... is that all or was there more to it than that?

    Bryant? 😁
  18. I hope you're right... but I have my doubts based solely on the potential for a freezing cold day in early December...

    If you're talkin CFL all-stars the RB spot goes to Stanback... unless there's two? I can't remember now...
  20. I think you're kind of missing the point of a discussion forum...
  21. This post aged incredibly well 😁 Does anyone else thinks it's a red flag that Dinwiddie is already giving up on Arbuckle...

    You could make the case for a Bombers sweep... MOP - Collaros MODP - Jefferson, Bighill, or Jeffcoat MOR - Alford MOC - Demski MOOL - Bryant Coach - Osh But that won't happened for two reason... other players around the league have been good (or better in some cases) too... and they would never let one team sweep... I'm thinking Collaros, one of those defensive players and O'Shea are basically a lock...
  23. This comment is about two years too late… anyone not on board with O’Shea had their mind changed by Nov 2019…
  24. Does he know the IGF field isn’t real grass and the temp was above zero?… if that was even remotely close to true then BC must have the worst equipment staff in the history of football… “good news guys, we all got new air Jordans for tonight’s game” 😂
  25. Hey… it’s my brother Marty!
