November 11, 20195 yr comment_442138 Hello....I've been a long time Bomber fan since the late 50s and was grew up being a Bomber fan starting in the Bud Grant era. Boy was I ever spoiled! I was a poster on the other Bomber discussion forum which has been shut down now for over 5 days now without a word as to when it might be up and running again. It's old and antiquated (kinda like me) but I still enjoyed it, I thought I'd give this forum a try and see if i like it. There are a lot of handles I recognize on this site

November 11, 20195 yr comment_442153 Thanks....nice to read comments about the Bombers after the other site was shut down
November 12, 20195 yr comment_442460 hey! it's 66 here... I've already spilled my back story of who, why, and where in a thread in the discussion forum when I first joined a couple of months ago... but I always read people's user names and wonder what they mean or why they choose what they did... doesn't consume me or cost me a lot of consternation, just curious... well my user name comes from my baby and prized possession that I actually built myself, my 66 Chevelle... spent a little over 2 years and a butt load of money building her but I love her... she has a 700 hp, 540 cubic inch big block Chevrolet engine in her and can be a hand full at times, much like myself... however, she does have a Canadian sister, the Beaumount which was built and sold in Canada at your local pontiac dealerships, but I digress... so, without further hesitation and for your viewing pleasure, I give you 'the' 66 Chevelle...

Congrats! thx! it was a labor of love... it was a complete frame off restoration... well I call it a restoration but it's all modern technology... tilt, cruise, power windows, locks, push to start, 4 wheel disc brakes, rack and pinion steering, coil over shocks on all four corners, etc... here's a link to some more photos, and my other hobby, I design and build hand made wooden gear clocks, if you're interested... link to the Chevelle build Edited November 12, 20195 yr by 66 Chevelle

November 13, 20195 yr comment_442927 I'm another refugee waiting for the other site to come back up, but I did sign up here a while ago. Not a football expert, just a Bomber fan.
November 13, 20195 yr comment_442936 7000 posts on the other site. Need my Bomber fix, especially during playoffs and after that epic win on Sunday. I plan on sticking around. Thanks for having me.
November 15, 20195 yr comment_443848 Long time Bomber fan, new to these forums. Looking forward to disagreeing with many of you lol jk. Appreciate whoever is responsible for putting these forums together. Cheers!
November 15, 20195 yr comment_443904 Same handle, different place. Been a fan since the mid 80s when I used to listen to the games on 1290 Fox. Moved to YYC in 2001; rough year to be a Bomber fan there.
November 18, 20195 yr comment_445692 I'm a refugee from the other site too. I grew up on a farm in the Interlake of Manitoba. Watched my first CFL game on my aunt's TV in 1961 when the Bombers beat the Ti-Cats in overtime in the Grey Cup. My older brother and I listened to games on the radio and sometimes charted them on pages of foolscap taped together. We made CFL scrapbooks and, although we didn't like cereal, we ate a lot of it just so we could get the Post football and hockey cards on the back of the boxes. We memorized football and hockey stats together. What a crazy hobby for a little girl eh? lol! When I went to visit the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto by myself as an adult, they had this computer NHL quiz game I played against others. I stunned the unsuspecting men who came along , beating all of them with a higher score. Piece of cake! Haha! I played women's flag football (running back, DB and punter) and hockey ( centre) at the U of M and did some reffing back in the 1970's. Sat on the East side ZOO section at some Bomber games. Years later, got my nephews interested in the CFL. Were they ever excited today! Oh, except the one who lives in Sask and is a fanatical Rider fan. Since the stadium is way across the city for me now, and I've been discouraged by the long Grey Cup drought, I've gone to hardly any games. Also, it's a fairly long walk alone from the bus stop in the dark to get home. Last time I went a man was walking the same route back, which was kind of scary until he crossed to the other side of the street. I am determined to take in a couple of games next season. I love the Bombers and the CFL with a passion. Edited November 18, 20195 yr by In Motion

November 19, 20195 yr comment_446360 This is almost like releasing your game day roster, time to declare! Like many others I've come across from the dark side as a result of it suddenly going really dark. Long time Bomber fan... 50 plus years. One time season ticket holder, now an out of province (Thunder Bay) fan. I actually signed up as a member on this site shortly after Richard Harris's passing. At the time I found the other site more active and tended to hang there. I've long ago forgotten the username I signed up here with so I opted to go with an alternate email address and my username from the other site. No particular preference for one site or the other really, its all football to me. Edited November 19, 20195 yr by NormW
July 9, 20213 yr comment_508863 I’ve been away since novemeber 2019 so I thought I would reintroduce myself. I have lived in Winnipeg for all my life outside of 9 months in Edmonton before age 4 I have loved cfl football since as far back as I can remember and have been more passionate about them since the jets left. I’m not nearly as attached to the jets or watch their games. I haven’t missed listening or watching to a bomber game in years. I have zero interest in the nfl and find the games slow and boring. Even the super bowl which I will watch while doing something else. I work in It infrastructure and now cyber security for a very large international company in Winnipeg and I’m opinionated, confident (overly?) and can be an *******. I can hate what you are saying and disagree with you but it won’t really effect how I feel about you. I can hate one post and fight with you and laugh and support something else you say. anyhow. I’m back

Having said that I just dropped in to say they don’t have a guy who can kick a 45 yard field goal?!? Christo! Patience, Lady Grasshopper, patience.
