Once upon a time there was a wonderful place called Canad Inns Stadium. We must be careful not to speak about this time too loudly, but the memories of such a place warm us in this cold and horrible place and time we find ourselves in now. There was parking for 33,000 vehicles within 20 steps of any entrance into the stadium. Hundreds of invisible doves flew constantly around the stadium and would sweep down and take anyone who could not walk these 20 steps easily and they would carry them right up to their seat. Every fan was treated with an incredible 7 course meal for the sum of $1, or pocket lint if they did not have a loonie. It was such an incredible experience and everyone in the land was happy. Then a dark cloud covered the land. An evil presence was felt by all in the great land of Winnipeg. A booming voice was heard by all and the ground trembled. It was the evil Asper! The evil Asper tore down this beloved treasure, the Canad Inns Stadium. There was much weeping. The evil Asper banished the invisible doves to the island of Hecla where they were forced to play golf on a deserted course day and night. There was much weeping - though they were also confused about the island of Hecla. The evil Asper constructed a dungeon on a desolate and dark precipice of land that could only be reached by Sherpas riding mountain goats. The evil Asper then taxed the good people of the land of Winnipeg until they were all paupers in order to pay for his new dungeon that he named IGF. 10 times per year, the evil Asper and his evil henchmen would round up thousands of the now homeless people of Winnipeg and force them using pointed sticks and hobnail boots to walk the entire 100 mile stretch without the aid of mountain goats to reach his dungeon. While in this dungeon, the evil Asper forced the poor wretches to eat cold hotdogs and held them there until their families could find a way to scrape together the tonne of gold bricks that was needed to this sustenance. When the weather would get cold, he would even tell them that he had no hot chocolate! When the wailing was at its peak, they could hear the violin playing from the distant tower where the evil Asper would cackle and contemplate new indignities for his minions to endure while being held in his dungeon called the IGF. And there was much weeping throughout the land. Could there be a hero somewhere who could free the people of Winnipeg of their misery?

The funny thing is IGF is 100x more comfortable to attend events at than MTS Place. The place does not get its credit in the city.

we have 22 as well actually

I could only imagine the ego of Carter if Owens took his spot lol

my consensus is that some changes have been made that possibly did not come from Hall. As people observed, no more Bighill "hurling" himself into the O line uselessly for one. Which they were having him do at the start of the season.

All i hear is Mike Reilly is the best QB in the CFL. For my money its Bo-Levi Mitchell. He might not put up the gawdy stats Reilly does in Edmonton's duck n chuck offense but he just makes everything look so easy.

yeah but if they win Sask is in last place in West lol

How dare you imply that McMahon Stadium is not state of the art. You miss the point - McMahon is a vintage (1950's) Calgary landmark. I love my season tickets (business write off and I give them away) And Amen! I would love to see something new in Calgary but at my advanced age I doubt I will see it in my life time (after all I am 60 Now). I make it back to the Peg a couple of times a year and always time it to catch a game at IGF and what a treat it is to be there.

He could have a chemical imbalance probably lasting effects from head injuries... this is not really normal behaviour.

Passion is great, but that was embarrassing. It looks like he can't control himself. Not the image you want your hc to project, imo.

You'd be excited if we went from being a Conference Finals team to bottom of the league just to draft a 5'10 centre... ummm...

Not a very good example to young people is it? I think It's an embarrassment for the league. People rag on Chris Jones. and this display gets a pass? If Duron did this, you'd be all over him. If any player did this, they'd be benched.

If Edmonton is happy with their weak, childish coach, good for them. But I'd be embarrassed if it was a Bomber coach doing that.

Apparently TO has worked out for the riders....lol

Yes, last game vs Toronto was better. That game vs Hamilton was the low point.

Pretty impressive that our offence is first in the league with what the first 4 games of the season missing our starting QB?

I hope Hall has learned from that abysmal performance last time they played the Ti-shats. Good analysis here on what happened. https://bomberbuzz.ca/2018/07/04/bombers-defensive-coaching-hits-rock-bottom-in-steel-town/

When Lulay starts, they are at least semi-competent.

You can include confidence in 'ownership' as well...When your head coach AND owner have one foot out of the door, it's difficult for players to see any long term future with this club..They're treading water at best

Ummm......it's all you got (?) lol

Cory Watson shouldve caught that throw from Lulay. He hasn't caught a pass in about 5 years. So glad he is long gone from here.

BC getting their asses kicked and celebrating every sort of play they make. Look like a loser franchise.

Should have announced it as...Steven Seagal IS the special envoy.

Theories abound on J. Manziel’s failed CFL debut. One thing that is irrefutable—The Cdn game is very different, 12th man, field size, motion etc., and J. Football simply hasn’t progressed far enough down the steep learning curve to draw any finite conclusions on his upside. these comments about Johnny football makes strevelers debut in the CFL even more exciting right (?)...

Point Douglas is even more inaccessible than the U of M campus. That would have been the absolute worst location. I can still remember Asper's pitch about having people park downtown and jump on a barge down the river to get to the game.

Stuff like this needs to be penalized... it wasn't on the field, that could easily warrant objectionable conduct. No different than flipping off an official etc. it is disrespectful to not only the game, but Gatorade and water coolers everywhere.

Flutie threw 30 picks in 1992.

I think it's just childish. You want your lolly you little baby?

I am a fan. Despite my busy and fulfilling lifestyle I still attend 3 games a year. You're a notoriously douchey and argumentative Albertan slinging mud from a woefully overburdened desk chair as if anyone other than Noeller cares what you think. Enjoy your seat at McMahon

Anyone who thinks they get to decide who a real fan is and isn't... based solely on how many home games they attend... all other factors be damned... ought to give their swollen head a shake. One day I was gifted 10 free tickets by Wade Miller himself simply because I look like a walking Bombers billboard every game day. I spend hours upon hours reading CFL news and lurking on fan forums. I nearly cried when Dinwiddie threw that pick and I probably will cry when we finally hoist the cup. I'm a fan and I'd challenge anyone to say to my face that I'm not - just because I buy flex packs instead of ST's. Also if fans can only show support by spending money then I hope all these sanctimonious out of towners are buying the equivalent $ amount in merchandise, or recognize themselves as massive hypocrites.
