I wouldnt mind him at all if we can get him on a decent deal.

yeah, its kind of like the position the Als used to be in. Playing every game in the ex stadium where even a good crowd was swallowed. I wonder if we could do some thing like having them play before bomber games (like several hours before) and making it a day long tail gate thing. Probably too much hassle and work for the blue. I think the fan support leads to much stronger teams in the long run though.

the power rankings have been kinda awful this year. I try not to notice. Some one needs to start making tinfoil covered watermelon hats, could make a fortune come Banjo bowl.

Perfect size for football in canada out side of university in Quebec yeah. my time in junior came down there. Its great, though i prefer living in central to northern bc. I can never say enough about how great it is out there, but im a manitoban at heart and chances are i wont get back to bc in the next couple years.

The difference is the ncaa teams gave tickets to high schools who brought the kids. Of course putting the tickets in the hands directly of kids or such for free is a bad idea. kamloops broncos play in hillside stadium which is normally 1k, and can be expanded to 1200 or so. And most times attendance for many years was 600-800 including FnF. It can seat 1500-1800, but not for football. And football doesnt pull in that kind of number. It is a beautiful place for football. Now run by former bomber brad yamaoka.

some one should climb up and add that on it was priceless. Or pay for that billboard jordan and all in sask

I wonder if these two moves means some new (to us) NI blood is coming in.

wonder if the rudders grab him back? Pretty happy with what we have at ni fb. Im sure he will catch on some place.

If this thread has one valid point in it, its friday cant come soon enough.

Yeah and considering we only have vague ideas of whats reported 3rd party about players contracts with no idea what the cap space is its pretty futile. Im sure our team as several others do, have a good pool saved for nfl cut down time when the PR expands. We arent in bad shape cap/roster wise like mtl and sask. So im not worried. weve got depth at imp and ni which alone means we have the ability to create the cap flexibility if we need. I trust walters, hes done a good job re building NI and over all depth. Bringing in vets, and rookies.

in that case i can only recall the one major change on the OL and thats goossen coming in. who hasnt been quick to pick things up at C so far. Over all last years ol under performed pretty heavily, and it carried into early this year. But big changes on the line especailly take time to gel. As for an all NI ol, the league is such a pass heavy league, i would take the best OL available. Make the ratio work else where if you have to. Ni LB, dl, a wr or two a rb etc. The amount teams run the ball these days having a grinder at rb who blocks and churns out a couple yards vs having the average imp rb doesnt seem like a huge dip. There may not be enough talent at RB league wide for every one to start one and have a back up, but there are enough athletic guys who get moved from qb, or to fb etc To dig up a hand full of guys to plug in. There is such a finite amount of NIs at OL, and its soo important to protect your qb in the cfl I dont totally understand the clinging to an all ni ol. Weve seen more and more ratio breakers start and pop up each year. Id rather go 2 NI DTs or even 3 in a 3-4 front. With how much teams run, with how few running qbs are in the league you could plug in a failed OL ni, or a pure dt ni whose not at the talent level of an imp ol and in theory should be a gain in talent in important areas.

not the same ol, and has had a crazy amount of turn overs from the D with amazing field position. No comparison. And as long as the team continues to win the chances we get to see willy behind this set up is slim.

he still gets use on cfl.ca as a reporter/media columnist w/e

wasnt bond hurt at the end of the first pre season game? its tough to keep straight with the way IR is used to save cap space now. we only learned that loffler was ready to start by him having to go into game action. other wise idk where we would have come up with the extra NI to sway the ratio and allow us to start the extra imp on the OL. start hurl and bench bass/wild?

neufeld is a ni and thats who you refereed to previously. Him and keeping kinda log jammed in by both not being able to stay healthy. Who else do you think is underachieving and well paid that can be replaced by younger guys on this team? 10+ hits in the first game of the season, 0 in the last game.

not at NI ol.

could certainly help, but cant get rid of him /keeping with out some one who can stay healthy. Both have spent much/all of the season on the ir so i dont think they have counted against the cap for much. Maybe if both get healthy we could flip them to some one desperate for a younger/healthy ni ol body. Doesnt even have to be a very warm body.

agree with them spending too much time on nhl. id like to see some one with more diverse sports knowledge and bring that diversity to the station but it wont happen.

yeah hes best in moderation or well off set by some one. I wonder if 1290 might try to poach doug brown since ob is too cheap to even send him on the road.

I dont think westy is a terrible radio guy, but hes pretty much the nut job for pure entertainment value. Hes good as a 3rd wheel, not bad as a strong personality for some one else like walby to bounce off of. Liked edmunds alot, he and westy for instance were good together to off set each other. Toth wouldnt be bad, never minded him.

yep. Cant stand him, you see other guys have some bias here n there. But none so blinding. Hes the epitome of the league needs the riders movement, gods gift to canadian football etc etc etc. The cfl, and the media out lets should not have him involved in any part. We are ridiculously fortunate to have tate and irving, not to mention doug brown and chris walby. pederson is down below marty york at a level all his own.

junior football is a tough sell, and the grass roots levels in manitoba are heavily under developed. The broncos averaged 500-600 including FnF. If the bombers continue the turn around and become consistent contenders for a few years we may finally see grass roots develop to a higher level. Some US colleges back in the day built a following by giving large amounts of free tickets to high schools, which promised very high turn out. A few schools even brought in tons of band classes from surrounding hs's which made for a crazy loud atmosphere. Idk if thats doable here and now with the entertainment options to teens after/kids school.

pretty much. But if he isnt the future, and they fall out of contention which would be a couple loses away, they need to move away from glenn. Too much money on a team thats in cap trouble plus they have young guys and if you arent winning you gotta be developing guy that will help you win.

Clicking links isnt a matter of tech savvy. they do, but sharing whole articles is wrong. Snippets are good and i do that some times but that article was far too long to take any snippet and do it justice.

Accepted. We signed a stud rush end, winning streak, team is slowly getting healthy, im pretty happy yeah.
