and the Jets go bang-bang!! I have no idea what this video has to do with anything. Especially this game.

basement apartment with no indoor plumbing...can't blame the wife for taking a pass lol....in 2011 TW and I bought tickets Grey Cup week and headed down on the Saturday, got a hotel room last minute in downtown Vancouver, then walked to Elephant & Castle in the pouring rain. Got to Bomber House and just set up shop for eight hours while we dried out from being totally soaking wet. Then headed down to the Convention center and ran around until 3 in the morning. Good times. Saw Pinball sitting only one section away from us at the game, did NOT get a selfie, will not make that mistake again. While we were checking in to our hotel the McMaster Marauders came walking in (they were staying at the same hotel) with the Vanier Cup they had just won the day before, and set the Vanier down in the lobby, and JUST LEFT IT THERE. I looked over at Tacklewasher and said "should we just walk off with this thing and see if anyone notices"? LOL

let's all hope so!

The 2011 Cup was special because the Bombers were in it, and in those meagre sad days Bomber cup appearances were few and far between. Also got to hang out with Bluto which was fun as well. Most of the events are down in the Convention Center so very central, though all of the CFL team houses were in bars all over downtown. Winnipeg's bar was the Elephant & Castle in 2011, not sure where it was in 2014 as I was there but with the inlaws so not really allowed to go party like I did in 2011.

That's a University of Michigan phrase. I doubt that he has any idea that a Grey Cup even exists, let alone that Winnipeg is playing in it.

I thought they were saying "Glorious and Blue", not booing.

Seriously looking at going next year for Vancouver. Hope the Blue are in it but if I'm going I'm going to get tickets well in advance. Still remember 2011 when BC got into the Cup and suddenly all of the bandwagon jumpers from BC decided to become Lions fans for one game. Never to be seen again.

only home brew we get out here in BC is CR, and THAT will be tomorrow....and probably tonight as well who am I kidding....

are you saying that you are "plugged in" to Buck?

24 hours to game time....pfft....there goes the first beer....

So Booch - are you in Hamilton right now? How are the festivities? Did you see Carrie Underwood last night?

and we couldn't even blame Schmidt this time...

kind of goes with the whole "Canadian Mafia" vibe doesn't it?

Dan Robertson is dead to me....lol...

Cue Noeller to tell me that "Touchdown Manitoba" or lack thereof was discussed on page 10 of this thread two days ago...lol...

Do we have any MBB members in Hamilton? How was Touchdown Manitoba? Anyone?? I still remember hanging out with Tacklewasher in 2011 in Bomber House in Vancouver - aka the Elephant & Castle. Good times. I hope everyone is having a great time this week - wish I could be there. EDIT - I see that this year there was no Touchdown Manitoba, due to "space limitations", whatever that means. ARGH

I sent this clip to some German friends and now they are going to be tuning in to watch the game on Sunday from Germany. They didn't know we had a German Panzer in our line up! LOL

I was at that game. As soon as I saw Nichols get tackled I knew he was done, fell right on the shoulder and got pile drived. I think it was Lemon correct?

ultimately it will be his ancestors who determine where he signs....

But I think it was Zach who was the real final piece of the puzzle. Nichols just couldn't get it done in the playoffs. Looks like pretty decent weather there in Hamilton.

just floating lame ducks. Even that short pass to Snead in the EF for a TD was a wobbler. I really hope the Jeffs make Cody cry. Want to see that look of a spirit crushed on his face like we saw on 2019 half time Dane Evans....you knew that game was over when you saw that Dane had just given up.

Dully dressed has me curious as well...

I wonder if Montreal is going to try that "kick" play again...
