Doesn't sound like anyone will be doing any Ed McMahon impersonations "Heeerrreeee's Johnny!!!"

I could make you a pretty good deal on mine...

Today was the first game this season I managed to see in person and I have 2 questions / comments. 1. Have the hooking and tripping calls been as soft all year as they were today? I swear there were 5 called today that wouldn't be penalties in Junior or Collage. 2. I was extremely impressed with Roslo today. Especially the play he made to get back and break up the breakaway after another Buff give away. The way he flipped his stick around to hold the shooters stick down and avoid the penalty call was brilliant. I don't think I have seen that before.

In general that was just a painful game to watch. So painful I chose to wrap my wife's Christmas presents instead of watching the third period.

I know I don't post here much but I have to comment on what I just heard. Listening to the media conference call with Weston Dressler, Paul Friesen just asked him "With only 11 games played last year and 32 years old were you at all afraid that no one was going to call?" WHAT A "FIRETRUCKING" D'BAG!!! I remember Paul from his days covering Bison U Sports in the late 80's/ early 90's and it is truly disappointing what a scum reporter he has become.

Can I please change that to Ottawa ?

Is there a way to tell what our picks were or do we need to ask @Rich ? I don't think I picked Montreal but want to be sure...

Having to start Sam Giguere ahead of Nik Lewis because of ratio issues speaks volumes about what they have to work with right now.

I think Adams has been a beast the last couple of games. It seems with the group we have now he actually gives a ****. Too many times before it looked like he didn't care or was going through the motions. Now he wants and fights for every ball and extra yards on every catch. I didn't notice Knox get roasted on the field but a couple times coaches let in to him on the sidelines. Once after a special teams play and once after the defense game off the field.

@Rich it could just be me as I am on my phone but it is saying poll closed no new votes accepted?

@Jpan85

Which week did i miss? I had Bowman twice at least. The week he was 6 gamed my comment was that I was rolling with him again. Not like it matters in the long run but it does make the week more interesting.

Can I ask you to re check the results? Last week I had 4 strikes now listed as eliminated. My pick last week was Andrew Harris... Thanks.

Andrew Harris

Andrew Harris

I didn't realize he was hurt until I started watching on the PVR... Sigh I see my 4th strike is already posted so likely no chance I'd be allowed to change my pick to Andrew Harris?

My first strike free week I am rolling with Adarius Bowman. I am not convinced that Ottawa scores a TD against Toronto on Monday...

Adarius Bowman

We park in Blue lot on campus and was nervous about not being able to make a right turn on to Pembina to get to Bishop. Had to go all the way Waverly / Bishop to get on but honestly it was faster than Pembina to Bishop has ever been. My complaint was getting in on Chancellor Matheson. We were on Pembina in line to make the left turn as usual and it took 30 minutes from in from of the Vic to get to the parking lot. Seemed like fewer people guiding people coming in and the campus seemed to be the bottle neck not the lights themselves. Was the worst drive to the stadium since the very first preseason 5 years ago, usually take about 50 minutes from house to seats was over an hour 15 and missed the kick off...

Weston Dressler

I heard on the radio that since the redblacks joined the league no team that has had the first week bye won their opener in week 2. Never before though has it been a strong Bomber team against the weak riders...

That was my thought too. Starting the fullback instead of one of American the SB's.

Andrew Harris

I like the new $10 bottomless popcorn bucket. I just wish it was easier to find... What is it one concession per level / side?

I'll go Chris Rainey.
