Yes, Micah Johnson did lose his Dad recently. Forget the rivalry. Family is everything. My sympathies to him & his family. Losing a parent is tough. I strill hate the Riders but some things are more important.

I'd say so. They are very good.

The Stamps would be crazy to lose the guy because of Mitchell.

The best offensive line in the CFL & second isn't even close.

Lots of food places in Moosomin along the highway since #1 was diverted around the town. From the comments I read from Danny Austin on twitter & what I read online Dave Dickenson doesn't feel Maier is ready to step in as a reliever or starter which leaves me absolutely dumbfounded, Dickenson wants both Mitchell & Maier back & it appears that the club will let Maier walk in free agency if they can't sign him. This blind loyalty to Mitchell makes no sense.

I had Blue Bomber season tickets so I never took part or became a Gotch Man. Some of the guys in The Gotch Men were former Churchill Bulldog players. A couple of the guys were all atars when they played. They may have looked like football nerds wearing long underwear over their clothes but they really weren't.

They had them for each visiting team. I used to have quite a collection going back a decade or more from 1970-80. I stopped buying them in the 80's at games. I have no idea where my collection is now. I haven't seen them in 20 years since we moved to our house in 2001. Probably in some box in the crawl space.

The Gotch Men. All from Churchill High School. Some of them were my HS friends.

August 27, 1969 my very first Bomber home game. The last place 1-3 Bombers met the first place 4-0 Saskatchewan Roughriders. We beat them 16-14. My friend & I sat in the Salisbury House End Zone in the south end. Tickets were 50 cents. This was the debut of QB Wally Gabler traded to the Bombers from the Argos for halfback Dave Raimey a week earlier. Here he is in action wearing #12 with fullback Bob Houmard #35, Guard Chuck Liebrock #56 & Tackle Chuck Harrison #67 blocking for him against the BC Lions. They never handed them out. You had to pay for them.

We all know that nothing will be done.

It WAS agony.

I'd hardly call him a writer.

Is Brandon Alexander okay? Anyone know?

When I got my license when I was 16 back in 1971, my Dad let me drive our car all the way to Regina from Winnipeg. We were visiting my aunt & uncle. The Trans Canada was twinned from Winnipeg to just past the overpass diverting past Portage La Prairie. It was 2 lanes all the way to Regina. It was also single lane from Regina to Calgary. Now it's 4 lanes all the way from Winnipeg to Calgary. What a difference.

Whose bright idea was that to get rid of the third qb???

Or how long a gas up & pee break takes or getting out of the car for a food break. I always filled up in Swift Current, Regina & Brandon. I always broke the trip up into 3 just to make it not seem as long. If I was walking in space, I'd **** my pants too. That new Mosaic Stadium sure stands out from the highway as you leave driving west or coming in going east.

Then why aren't they playing Evans?

I think that was linebacker Darren Sankey. If Collaros had stayed in, we'd have won by 30 points. I just want to see both the Riders & Stamps kick the crap out of each other but see the Riders lose.

The rule of not allowing three qbs to dress is one of the dumbest rules the CFL has. Bring it back & dress 3. That way teams can have a veteran backup qb & a young developmental qb dressed. The absolute stupidity to save a few bucks affecting the quality of play is ridiculous.

For me, it's always been 7 1/2 to 8 hrs to Regina from Calgary. Another 5 1/2 to 6 hours to Winnipeg from Regina. About 14 hours total. I've always set my cruise at 8 kph over the speed limit when I do the drive. Been doing that for 31 years & never been pulled over for speeding. I used to make that drive alone no problem up to when I was into my late 50's. Now I can't do it by myself anymore as I tire much easier. I worry about falling asleep at the wheel & hitting the ditch. Getting old sucks.

Nice gig. Get paid to sit around & do nothing.

They would give him a set number of plays in a package off of short yardage. He could go in & execute those plays. He doesn't need to know the entire playbook.

I remember his Moments Of Meditation.
