Nice going @DTonOB. After that last tweet, Booch is going to have to clean his keyboard.

Under 900 tickets left if Ticketmaster is to be believed.

Should have been done the moment he decided to go into the stands and fight with fans.

Holy geez. Not leading in the traditional QB categories, but throws a longer distance, so gets the all-star nod. It's beyond juvenile. I feel shame for giving them a click.

Well their nuts should stay nice & warm with Farhan so firmly attached to them...

For those that talked about the Lions practicing in the dampness in Surrey, they have actually been practicing at BC Place the last 3 days.

Edwards needs to be given the Marino treatment. Time for this guy to be shown the door out of the CFL.

Nice. My oldest wants to head there right after the Michigan-Penn State game. A little early for my liking but he's had to miss a few games this year, so I won't begrudge him for wanting to spend extra time in the tailgate.

Given the forecasted -4 to -7 windchill (wind gusting to 30) and 80% humidity (dampness), I wouldn't be surprised at all if both Zach and VAJ throw for under 225 yards. I think the Bombers will run for more than 175 though. Thinking somewhere along a 20-14 win for the Blue that will be in doubt for a good part of the game. I will be drunk by the final whistle.

Yup. Same job. Same money. Abandon the franchise you’ve built from the ground up at the peak of their success right before a home Grey Cup to move to a less successful franchise. Where do I sign, right?

But...but...that's MY thing! Noeller, why?! 😈

I've been waiting on this....

I mean the only other QB of a 16-2 team was the All-Star QB. Ham did throw for 4,366 yards and 30 tds, while also rushing for 1005 yards with 10 tds, wait what was my point again? Oh yeah, the voters are morons.

Can you imagine how boring that job would be compared to what he's doing now? Plus the budget would be miniscule, scouting and facilities inadequate and the bureaucracy and paperwork mind numbing. He's got what every GM craves, security within a winning organization plus the chance to become the longest serving GM in Bomber history.

And has been consistently one of the most intelligent, well spoken and knowledgeable posters on CFL message boards going back to the early days of OB.com. He's more than earned my trust and respect.

This is from @EdTait from earlier in the year.

Yes, if the so-called last game ever at CanadInns didn't sell out you could have fooled me. Commemorative golden tickets were given out, at least to season ticket holders. Chris Garrett combined for nearly 200 yards and scored a TD on the final play of the game. It would have / should have been the perfect way to close down that stack of rubble. Unforgettable.

Just so everybody knows - this X account is John Hodge’s brother.

My question is how do you not have either Jefferson or Jeffcoat on either the 1st or 2nd all-star teams? That makes no sense to me at all.

With the weather right now kind of wish the game was today.

It's usually a good time. We drive to Stone Angel and park there for the game. Have a pint or two there, then walk to IGF and spend a good hour in the tailgate area. Lots of fun for sure. Getting excited.... Fly out later tonight and will be hitting the breweries tomorrow for some "pre celebrating"!

I can’t see any thing less than a critical injury keeping either out. It’d be fantastic if Bailey got to be the guy who steps up in the play offs and earned more respect league wide. He’s soo under rated.

The Eastern Final is going to be shown at the pre-game tailgate:

My bold predictions for the Western final: 1. Janarion Grant shows up. 2 return TDs 2. BO goes over a 100 yards mostly in the 4th as we grind down the clock 3. Zac is average but efficient 4. VA throws for 400 yards but BCs offence stalls out in the red zone getting only FGs 5. The Jeffs show up and dominate BCs crap OL 6. Deatrich Nichols gets a ball thrown his way and promptly intercepts it. VA does not throw his way again. 7. Betts goes offside multiple times. 8. Time count violations kill promising BC drives and IGF gets louder and louder. 9. This game is effectively over by half time. 10. Final score WPG 41-BC 18

Can't really prepare for extreme noise effectively unless they practice in the Dome, as the practice field in Surrey is located in a residential neighbourhood.

lol... and Farhan said they're prepared for both the cold and noise............good luck with that.

"I asked for an end to GENOCIDE, Seth...."

Not only that, but it was a trajesty that he was left off the official list.

It would be harder to find people on this board that post regularly who aren’t more knowledgeable then him, I never really had anything against him but yeah he has some really outlandish takes.

Since when are initials considered modern? JBR are the initials for a user name on this board not an actual person (sort of anyway). Just scroll back 5-6 pages (before this whole thing took off) and you'll find it.

maybe Green Day will play it at half time and dedicate it to Coach O... I think it's a little soon to say he'll never be heard from again... it's only been two years and he's only 46 years old... If any team is looking for a DC next year, he'll definitely be on the list.

My bad, you are correct. Good catch. That season the capacity was 29,530 and we had 7 recorded sellouts.

“Vastly superior” what a ****** bag comment to make regardless, not to mention an absolutely terrible list. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s done on purpose for click bait.

I just want to know who JBR is. These modern abbreviations for everything drive me crazy. I can at least google when terms like OMG or LOL are used but names take much more research. I guess I'm just to old and not with the times.

Our Oline is better than what they choose....Thats a sad sad list for sure

To quickly summarize the justification for Chad Kelly: the stats show he's clearly not the best QB in the league... but his team was really good so we'll give him the nod by default

If you want a good laugh, read these 3DN picks.........

if Walters leaves it wont be a diff CFL related thing

We need one of those montages that's voiced by Irving that makes you wanna run through a wall.....

the big deal is footing ... will it be greasy or will the players be able to cut on a dime .... VA avoids the rush because of his nifty acceleration out of the pocket & he needs that perfect surface further throwing accuracy is highly related to being able to plant and shift weight for balance and throwing accuracy around zero feels like melt and freeze ... then it becomes who falls down the most ZC is probably better in greasy conditions luck is going to be a big factor MOS is a make-your-own-luck kind of leader .... character you say!

Hladik and his backup Hinsperger have been DNPs for the Lions. That hurts them at MLB. We may need this anyways but perhaps this is a Brady rushes for 100+ yards and recives 50+ game.

Not everyone can invest the time or has the inclination to delve as deeply as you do on this site, reading through every comment in every thread. Personally, I value dedicated threads for unique topics like the annual CFL All-Star awards. While general discussion threads are perfect for weekly conversations, certain topics, including this one, deserve their spotlight independently.

<checks avatar name> Yeah, that tracks. We need more that that... How about:

Not a single Rider, but they just extended their general manager for three years.. NICE!

From your lips to God's ears. Would love to have this one not put that kind of stress on the old ticker

No kidding. Easily the best DB in this league...just never gets the ball thrown his way because QBs avoid him like the plague because they can't complete a ball against him. How Nichols is not an allstar is just a joke.

4th in yards, 3rd in TDs, 5th in completions. He wouldn't even get on the CFL All-Star team if not for the pathetic media.
