    FAJARDO BACK TO PASS! JAKE THOMAS WITH THE PRESSURE! FAJARDO FUMBLES, OH NO! GAUTHIER PICKS UP THE FOOTBALL, HES GOING TO TAKE IT TO THE HOUSE! 60-3 BOMBERS LEAD! The crowd goes wild, Booch’s head exp

  • there were a few of us who said it.    Now I think most of tonight was squarely on not playing in preseason for most of the offensive starters, but yeah Collaros has seen some really concern

    No eye rolls here. If it was the Bombers I’d be laughing and saying “well, they could have stopped it instead of crying about it”. I’ve always felt that way about running up the score. Fair game.

And the number of people who saw our jerseys and asked if there was a game tonight..... Like....?? It's the Home Opener!!! How is the city not buzzing?? Is it back to back GC losses, so some of the excitement has worn off??

I just got weird looks for saying I couldn't wait to get out to the Pas.  I then said Fort Hew? and got the same blank stares. Had to shake my head and walk away at that point.😂

Man I don't know.if it's cause it's a Thursday or what but there is absolutely no buzz around the city for the game. We started at Stella's, then OGC, then Half Pints, then Torque.... And the number of people who saw our jerseys and asked if there was a game tonight..... Like....?? It's the Home Opener!!! How is the city not buzzing??

Just really struck me as strange.... Thought everyone (restaurants and bars and breweries especially) would have gear on and really amped up for game day. Not so much. 

I've switched gears at work now and am in more of a marketing role... I would like to talk to the Powers That Be around here about how we can market these things better and all have lots of fun (and hopefully make some money while you're at it....) :)

Season starting earlier likely the biggest culprit. And no preseason games on tsn. Will take a while for people to realize that oh yeah, it's summer and cfl is back

but there will be 31k+ in stands today none the less...thats where it matters anyway

Is that confirmed? I checked out Ticketmaster for an idea but didn't feel like counting blue dots. I wish there were less of them to be honest.

Everything I had read from CoFaj the last couple of days makes me hate him even more. Barf.

Spring football sucks.  Should start last week of June.  Prefer fall games to spring ones.

I'm definitely in agreement but feel like an old man for saying it. Ha ha.

Absolutely agree. I preferred when the openers were on Canada Day weekend.

I think that’s the majority opinion. Should still be 

It is an old man opinion, but it’s also the damn truth. 
 

Canada Day weekend kick off to the season and later season is awesome. That’s football season!

I personally loved the Canada Day starts because I’m a teacher and it was just the best way to start the summer. Last day of school, CFL starts, it was a good time.

My Dad is a retired teacher. Our whole deal every summer revolved around this when I was a kid. Last day of school, then July 1st BBQ and usually a Bomber game. Pure Canadiana.
