Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming The #Bombers say ticket sales for Sunday's West Division Semifinal are approaching 27,000. This is Winnipeg's first home playoff game since 2011, where Canad Inns Stadium drew 30,051 for their 19-3 East Division Final win over Hamilton. Investors Group Field capacity is 33,134.

I'm glad we'll have at least 27-28k in the stands, but I'm also pretty disappointed that it's not an automatic sell out. First playoff game at IGF with decent weather and people are sitting on the fence? Get off your ass and get tickets!

Darrin Bauming‏ @DarrinBauming 8m8 minutes ago Zero update from Mike O'Shea on Matt Nichols' health. Very mum on the subject, but says he looks good. Andrew Harris says Nichols Didier today than yesterday, which wasn't much. #Bombers I think we can assume that 'Didier' means 'did more'? Or maybe we added a new guy to the roster as a secret weapon. Now the Eskimos have to game plan for Nichols Didier!

Gotta love that guy.

Maybe he's just wearing several extra layers because of the cold? Don't ruin this for me.

Yes, yes it is. But never mind that, do I see a #1 out there?

Darrin Bauming‏ @DarrinBauming 5m5 minutes ago Matt Nichols ran some plays in early walkthrough portion , including handoffs and throws, and now he appears to be taking the rest of the practice off. #toque #Bombers

Leggett not being an all-star is straight up ridiculous. Reilly can have the all-star nod, Nichols will take the WSF victory. Seems fair.

Yeah, being a MLB isn't all about making tackles.

Darrin Bauming‏ @DarrinBauming 28m28 minutes ago Matt Nichols is a partial participant at #Bombers practice today. He's throwing. Not much as far as feet movement.

Very sad.

Bryce Zielinski @zbryce21 BREAKING: Plane owned by former #Phillies and #BlueJays pitcher Roy Halladay has crashed, one body confirmed dead. Waiting on identity. Wow.

Yeah, I would let Helle play in Vegas and let Mason have the Coyotes.

I'd be good with this. And drop Matthias out of the lineup, so Lemieux can dress.

Bob Irving @BobIrvingCJOB Mike Oshea tells CJOB that Matt Nichols will play on Sunday in the West Semi-final. 8:48 AM - Nov 7, 2017

Officiating was terrible. Unfortunately, so were the Jets.

Ummmmm.... Interference?? Cherry and MacLean both said it was an obvious penalty.

Again, Jets lucky to be tied after 2. Refs not doing us any favours either. Seems like a regular thing against Montreal.

That was an awful period. Lucky to be tied.

I'll be there!! Do we know a time yet? I assume it's on Sunday. Edit - Looks like it's going to be at 3:30.

Yeah, that would be a kick in the pouch, for sure. I just want to see all of the same old issues not plague us throughout the season.... And of course, playoffs.

And The Fever won the job with his play? That logic doesn't add up. If they want to go with experience, so be it. But LeFevour didn't do anything to 'earn' the start.

Darrin Bauming‏ @DarrinBauming 3h3 hours ago Mike O'Shea says he has no doubt Matt Nichols will play in the West Semifinal. Nichols would not speak to his health today. #Bombers @CFL FWIW

Matthias is going to score? Maybe you'll win the lottery too!
