Speaking of something in the water... it’s brown in Regina But city officials say it’s safe to drink.

November 12, 20186 yr comment_367334 Best part was 1 hour before the game you could still grab 2 front row tickets on the 45.
November 12, 20186 yr comment_367358 I have lived in Alberta for 12 years now and the rider fans have pissed me off for the whole time. These so called “fans” go to the local co-op in sask and buy a rider tshirt and call themselves fans. The first thing I asked the rider fans before they chirp me is to name 3 players from their oline or defence. Most of them can’t so I don’t give them the time of day to get a rise out of me!

November 12, 20186 yr Author comment_367450 Actually I remember it. It was awful. I was 12. But we still won the cup in 1988!

I am definitely using that one next time... My personal favorite is reminding them they've only won four Grey Cups compared to our ten... to which their usual reply is how the Bombers haven't won since 1990 (27 year drought). To which I usually reply they took 56 years to win their first one.
November 12, 20186 yr comment_367507 "Would have a been a sellout if it wasn't for the weather schedule needs to be moved up etc." Is making the rounds. Which is like saying "fans could have wore shorts and golf shirts and flip flops if it wasn't for the weather. August should be extended to mid November."
November 12, 20186 yr comment_367514 props to sask...they had a good crowd for the weather situation...i bet we would have had no more that 27k if it was here. But if it was a mid October game pretty certain both places could/would sell out..
November 12, 20186 yr comment_367521 what was the final attendance tally?... I did notice a whole group of seats empty at one point in the game... maybe it was 30 friends all going for a drink at the same time...

That seemed about right from what I could see. There weren't a lot of Bomber fans there, I expected to see more to be honest. Some Bomber fans were near us. No issues, they were just there to cheer for their team, we wished them well after the game

November 12, 20186 yr comment_367557 Same people who moan about weather and CFL playoffs ... go all in for NFL hype and nostalgia for Green Bay frozen tundra etc. Either be consistent or stop being a poosy Edited November 12, 20186 yr by Zontar

Help me out people. I was one of the 13,280 at that game vs Hamilton. Attendance was so bad someone came up with the idea to sell tee shirts saying just that on the front. My wife & I both bought one each. Demand was so great they sold over 30,000. So, if everyone who had bought a shirt had shown up the game would have been a sell out. Yes, it was in 1988.

I heard them on tv calling the jets "Canada's team" just last night. Looks like Winnipeg an Regina really have something in common now, as they each have a "Canadas team"... does that make ya'all prairie cousins now ? Lol.....

No self-respecting Jets fan would stoop to that level and call the Jets Canada's Team. That's left for trash Leafs fans as far as NHL goes. You sure love posting dumb comments.
November 13, 20186 yr comment_367798 “Them” is whoever made the tv ad.....probably even okayed by the jets themselves.
