Season's Greetings And Best Wishes To All
SpeedFlex27 replied to Tracker's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
That tee shirt was from the Eastern Division Semi Final game played at Winnipeg Stadium on November 13, 1998. The Bombers won 35-28. Attendance was an embarrassment & a shock as crowds at Winnipeg Stadium in 1988 was fairly solid. all season long. Hence, the idea for a tee shirt commemorating that game. The Bombers got on a roll behind qb Sean Salisbury in the playoffs & beat the Argos 27-11 the next week in the Eastern Final at CNE Stadium on November 20th. Then they wrapped up the Trifecta on November 27th by defeating the heavily favoured BC Lions by a score of 22-21. in the Grey Cup at Lansdowne Park which featured DT MIchael Gray deflection of a Matt Dunigan pass to an open receiver in the end zone. Not only did he deflect the pass up in the air but he caught it on the way down at the goalline to preserve the Bomber win & the Grey Cup Championship. I'll never forget that play. The story goes that the Bombers supposedly sold over 50,000 of those tee shirts. I don't know if that was true or not. There were fans that bought that tee shirt who never attended the game while claiming they did to join the Grey Cup bandwagon. I can't confirm that number to be true or not but a lot of people did buy that tee shirt. It seemed everyone was wearing them & was probably a hot ticket item for Christmas that year. I was there along with my wife as we were STH's in Sec V, row 29 & seats 12 & 13 at the old barn on Maroons Road. I never got a tee shirt, though. Michael Gray: Grey Cup hero. -
25/26 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season Thread

At minimum, we should be tied with Edmonton. At most we should be second with 15. I won't get into why we're not. But hey, our coach is a nice guy. Everybody says it. -

I only care about the Bombers. Therefore, no desire or want to see Elgersma make it. Once he signs a new contract with us, I'll start caring. -
Canada's Olympic hockey roster

Hockey canada should have been shut down 2 1/2 yeras ago after the sex scandals that went on & hazings. They tried to cover up all of that. Disgraceful & disgusting. -

He was in the conversation until the team took a nosedive. If fans want to blame someone blame Chevy for this. Look on the bright side, Scheif will be well rested for that final push of the season..... towards..... nothing. -

No confirmation this will be a new series even though they have most of the characters in place.

This series could have been epic but it goes out like a whimper in Season 5 with just 6 episodes. Who can forget the Star Trek SNW musical 2 seasons ago. Last season, we had the return of Trelane (Squire of Gothos ST: TOS:Season 1, Ep:17) this time as a wedding planner. Whoop de fricking hoo! And people said that shorter seasons will stop filler episodes with up to 26 episodes. Nope.

Happy New Year to all.

On our way to watch Tyler play Idaho State & Dixie State back in 2014. My wife & I took 2 weeks vacay & went all over the Western US, including the Grand Canyon & a few days in Vegas. It was 92 F in St. George, Utah when he played Dixie State. I was Facebook friends with Lyle Bauer. He had a winter home in St. George. He used to talk about it. Had a chopper he brought down with him. He loved hitting the road with that bike.

Emilus is a great Canadian receiver. Cory Mace has created the same atmosphere Osh did during our hey day in 2019-22. Guys want to play there. Buck did the Riders a huge favour when he turned the Riders HC job down.

25/26 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season Thread
SpeedFlex27 replied to Noeller's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Most qbs are a little younger than Colaros like in their late 20's & the early 30's. Thinking about Rourke in BC, Alexander in BC & Adams in Calgary. I think the Riders, Hamilton & us are the most vulnerable if Harris, Collaros or Mitchell go down. . But even the Riders have Maier who would be a good transitional qb to another long term starter. Hamilton has Taylor Powell who has shown flashes that he can play in the CFL but Milanovich won't give him even a little bit of playing toime so will he stay there or go elsewhere? Could we entice him to come here if we can't sign Elgersma? The Argos have Kelly & Arbuckle but I think Nick will be playing somewhere else, but where? The Als are set for years with Davis Alexander.... -

The alternative going forward without him isn't very promising. We have no succession plan. We had years to get that done & didn't. -

Hope it's more than a depth signing. As in Center.
