the stadium is kind of small time but damn is it a fine place to watch a game on a summer night. Love the setting up on the mountain with the campus buildings wrapping around the stadium. Absolutely gorgeous scenery. Need to get back there someday.

sucks that the Bombers aren't in it, but have to say this is a compelling CFL playoff bracket with four legit finalists. Am rooting for a BC vs. Montreal final, I think that'll be the best hope for a classic grey cup starring two great young QBs .... but will settle for anyone but the riders. decide on a word worse than "suck" and use it for the Riders.

yup. again, bad situational awareness on VAJ's part, throwing low-percentage endzone bombs that stopped the clock twice while they were in FG range. You can put this loss on him. Dude is massively talented but does not play in reality.

Just catching up on the game now ... that was the most VAJ play possible on the final play of the second half. Dude runs around and extends the play with eight seconds left in the half. Brutal situational awareness. Just like when he got hurt earlier in the season, diving forward for what wasn't going to be a first down.

crappy honker to that tramp stamp Mobil ad on everyone's jerseys. bush league.

two score game with nine minutes left, this ain't over. just gotta respond. keep the faith!

Montreal punter doing a good job placing his punts .. Vaval is always working right against the sideline.

2 and out baby.

Zach's thrown deep on 2nd-and-4 a few times this game ... impatient.

Pokey you gotta take that upfield!

hell yeah brother. right now in 2025 I am grateful for every CFL kickoff.

my brain says 2008, but my heart is hoping for 1988. We had zero business winning it all in 1988, we had a popgun offence that came alive to beat Hamilton in the snow, and then we shocked the fat and happy first-place Argos, and then Bob Cameron and Mike Gray and the weather gods said "Not today, Lions" and somehow we were the champs. Regardless of the outcome tomorrow, I very much doubt we'll see an involuntary coaching change, even though I'm starting to feel like Osh has run his course.

Yeah, JLo had a beast mode for sure -- was hoping he would stick around and be a long-time bomber but alas. tho I might have blue-colored glasses for the guy because he made one of my top ten favorite Bomber plays.

on top of his monster passing numbers, Rourke shocked me with his breakaway running. Dude can gallop and he turned a lot of broken plays into first downs or better. Rourke is the MOP. I was questioning the decision to throw away VAJ in favor of Rourke ... but that definitely appears to have been the correct call.

Vaval has four touchdowns and 11 returns of more than 30 yards and is tied for second in punt return average (12.8, behind Wooten's 15.0) ... the CFL does not track individual fumble stats but I'm pretty sure that Vaval nets out to a positive ...
