Ready....

It's game day! Grey Cup - 5pm Central - McMahon Stadium - Calgary, AB. Weather: At kickoff 1 (feels like -5). When they award the Grey Cup -1 (feels like -6). Wind 26km/h (16 miles/hour) from the west, gusting to 39 (24). That videos gives me chills. #FortTheW #GoBlue Just win, baby.

Hamilton was the best team this year. Who is the best now is the only thing that matters. The Bombers have ascended through the West beating the defending Grey Cup Champs and a very good Sask team in their own barns. Hamilton may be steeltown but its the Bombers that have been hardened and ready to take home the cup. Go Blue.

You need a beer, pal

Be hungry. Be relentless. Be the best damn Bomber team you can be. #ForTheW

That's me in the middle of laughing... I'd like to say that's the only pic of me like that, but I don't wanna lie. I'm the one from Pinawa and my best friend is the guy from Cartwright...

A couple of thoughts- actually one kvetch and a suggestion: Geoff Gray has contributed more to the success of the Bombers this year than Hecht who has been a liability more often than not. So boo to the choice to start Hecht over Gray. Bob has been far and away the best PBP guy that Winnipeg has ever had, and maybe the best ever in the CFL. It would be utterly classy for the CFL to allow him to call the TV telecast of a Grey Cup game before he retires.

I really hope the game isn't that close. My heart can't take it. I want a blow out!

The last 2 games against the Stamps and Riders I've felt like we would lose but today for some reason my confidence level is much higher. Maybe not a good thing this over confident thing. Weather in Calgary is mild but windy and I hate it when the wind can play with the outcome of the game. Hosting a party with another couple who are originally from Winnipeg along with my wife and son with his girlfriend. My son was born in 1995 so has never seen a Bomber Grey Cup. Lets hope we party like its 1990!

Here's to tonight's game being like 1958, 1959, 1961, 1962 or 1984!

I have never been less than 75% confident in this team winning since the last home game vs Cgy. Something just clicked in my brain that we are gonna do this... Don't know how, but....

I don't care how, just ******* win.

Let's go Blue! Today is the day our drought ends. It really us vs the league/country. Everyone who loves and praises speedy B has decided Harris is irredeemable. Bc lions radio called the Bombers small town for trying to petition league for Irving to call the radio PBP. All the experts are picking Hamilton. The league wants an eastern champion, no doubt. ******* league itself in CFL.ca sim took a 1990 shot at us. **** the league and everyone else. Shut them up today.

Gameday, will 11/24/19 be a day we'll all remember, or want to forget? Bomber fan from Ireland here...go blue!!!!!!!

Reality is setting that this **** goes down tomorrow. Me and the family are nervous and confident. I still think the number one key to this game is our D creating tunrovers, I believe we do this. D. Evans comes back to earth. It wont be a banner day for our O, similar to '88. Our db's will shine and our O will do just enough to win.

I was lucky enough, when I was young, to attend many powwows and rodeos in Saskatchewan. The traditional chants and drumming of the plains indigenous people always gives me chills.

Just kick some Tiger Cat ass and bring that Cup home.....we've been waiting a long time for this shot,,,and I don't give a sweet tweet if we're not the favourites ...we're the better team GOBIGBLUE

This is a completely different team from the one that played Hamilton back in September. Brandon Alexander was not even playing and Chris Streveler was having a tough game at QB. They exploited our liability at safety with max protect to give Evans extra steamboats. But even with all that, the game was mostly close and one critical error turned it into a blowout. Let me put it this way: the Bomber team that Hamilton beat in September would not even be in the Grey Cup. Hamilton has not played this current version of the Bombers, but Bombers have certainly played against the current version of the Ti-Cats. Everyone is talking about the Bombers' rushing attack and their stout run defense. The improved play of the secondary and the suddenly dangerous vertical passing attack are scarcely garnering a mention. Just. How. We. Like.It. #FORTHEW

That's perfect. No one is even mentioning the game the Bombers played against Calgary. Calgary had the same threats, the same speed at receiver and a better QB. They're choosing to write us off and not even attempting to write anything about the Bombers.

Im going with a couple bottles of red wine.....so, for Zach's first game I realized I was out of beer and my wife had this bottle of red wine someone gave her, so I figured what the heck I will try this....well Zach and the Bombers won so each week now I have been buying the same Cougar juice red wine and so far it's worked out well for me and the Bombers.

Can we petition the league for a Simoni Cam where they can highlight all the cheap stuff he does? Asking for my friend, Dyson.

We watched the 84 GC the other day. Gonna watch 88 and 90 today. LET'S ******* GO!!!!!!!

I would like to add that a huge portion of the province is also standing behind the Bombers today.....my grandson had his first school pictures up north a few weeks back, And my daughter couldn't save them until Xmas for us......she had to show us that he wore his #33 blue n gold for his first school pictures ! And he will be facetiming and cheering with the rest of us today...

BRING IT HOME BOYS! It all comes down to this. One game. Winnipeg stands behind our Bombers. #forthew

Here is hoping he is going full C. Roberts the night before the grey cup... Actually could you imagine Charles Roberts having access to twitter...omg.

You can stick the all star accolades up your arse, Harris is here on a mission

What calms me is listening to the pre-game on CJOB. Something about Bob's voice just sets things up with the right level of optimism, confidence, and admiration for our team.

I have no idea how old many of you posters are, I've never seen a cup in my lifetime ('96), and the adrenaline is just flowing. I am so excited. It's been a long eight years since 2011. My grandpa who passed 2015 would have been watching the game with me tonight is definitely here with me right now. I feel so much energy. FOR THE W!!!

Felt calm cool and collected all week. Then about an hour ago the nerves started kicking in to high gear. It's that feeling I get right before a plane takes off. Lets f'ing do this

Hardrick will chuck that guy into the stands - right to wherever Noeller and crew are sitting.

I love how Winnipeg is not seen as a threat. When playing well Winnipeg can beat anyone. Hope hamilton thinks like the rest of the media does. Bombers can punch them in the mouth.

Need this:

LET'S ******* GO

Just. Giver.

Watched 1990 yesterday and I saw similarities. The Bomber offense was not supposed to compete with the vaunted Esks, but turnovers and a new quarterback drove the ass-kicking. I've gone from 20% confident on Monday to 60% today. Recording the game because nervous-drinking is going to make it a blur.

Can see the stadium from our room, and pregame has begun! Let's go Blue!!

Ok ITS GAME DAY, let’s get this done boys and girls! Please let it be Christmas Day at a whole other new level! A level that I haven’t experienced since I have been a season ticket holder (1997). I need a championship so I can go blow a bunch of money on merchandise for my rec room and as such! I have a good feeling about it. GO BOMBERS GO

If Oshea can bring us a cup this year with the fact we lost our primary quarterback, our backup got surpassed by a later pickup, we've had a revolving door in our secondary (that is now kicking ass), and all the players want to play for us, sign him an extension. Hell... 2 wins knocking off the top dogs and we are on the right track.

Brandon Banks is having a melt down on Twitter😲😂 https://mobile.twitter.com/speedybanks87 Shows you where his head is at the night before the game mentally. ******* train wreck

It's go time! 1st beers at the team parties are flowing nicely (the Eastern Social hall is free entry so it's perfect for Winnipeggers too!). Can't wait to get over to Hudson's tonight!

JUNE- Raptors take home their very first NBA Championship SEPTEMBER: Bianca Andreescu wins the US Open TODAY: ??? (hey alot of unthinkably unimaginables happened this year, how about a positive comes in threes for once)

When we win tomorrow I can't wait to see how ******** Hudsons is. Anyway, our recent superstition has been to down a glass of scotch 3 hours before game time, then tailgate with the opposing teams fans (except the rider fans, whom we lovingly make fun of). So far we are batting 1,000

Our at a comedy club for a friend's 40th but we're all in jerseys. Hoping to head for last call at Hudson's a bit later...

Yeah, well, you probably deserved it, being an argumentative cuss AND a Ticat supporter. Pffft! What a loser! 😉

I’m thinking Brossy May have had to take a poop. 😁

Hey guys... Re: Hecht... Its strictly a thing where they're putting a vet on the roster for the biggest game of the year. It's one of those "locker room" things. The rookie makes way for a veteran. He won't hardly play... MAYBE on teams... Maybe.... But it's mostly just a paper transaction.
