Because most other provinces/cities don't have the cash to do that plan. I agree the BC Plan worked awesome but it also cost a buttload more money than either Winnipeg or Hamilton spent/are spending.

I'll be there! We haven't bought our tickets yet, but figure that's not an issue in BC. See you guys at the game! Is there any tail-gate going on pre-game?

Here's Mike Reilly when he sees Bryant Turner lining up only a yard away...

Yeesh - sounds like Bobby is getting suicidal...if anyone sees him at IGF make sure and give him a hug...

Staying home with the kids while you go and watch football? Isn't that what wives are for? - My dad in 1977 (and 2014)...

I thought this thread was going to be about what games Rod Black was doing the coverage for so I knew which games to avoid.

only if no one else wants the job...

Yeah that was the final straw for me too. Mitch and Bob were being very kind in their comments after the Montreal game despite what a ****-show it was, and on comes Kelly and says "I've been listening to all of the bullshit you guys have been sayin' and I'm pissed off" - on live radio. It was the most non-classy, stupid things I've ever heard from a professional coach. Just unbelievable.

He gutted what little NI talent we had and traded away even more draft picks than Taman. It's taken years to recover.

No, the fish would have just sat under the boat, giving the tickets the thousand yard stare, until you took a knee and gave up trying to catch them.

?? That is a contradictory statement?

I had to miss that game due to the birth of a child. Every once in a while she gets an extra hug for making me miss that game. Your child gets 2 birthdays and three Christmases.

Not a bad idea, Willis is as averse to making an actual tackle as Grigsby is to fighting through contract. Oh man...Grigsby is already asking for more money?

Hope Matt can control his on air language....

There was a point where Osh was giving the timekeepers **** for some reason. I think it was after Randle's interception. Not sure if he was just buying the defence time. At the same time January had an "injury ".

let's hope Edmonton picks him up and starts him on Thursday.

Hamilton 2014 = Blue Bombers 2012. At least Lapo was somewhat likeable as a coach. I still think he shouldn't have been fired.

I spent the year 1997 in Perth Australia, and my boss had season tickets to the Fremantle Dockers, who were an expansion team that year. For reasons unknown, TSN showed the games unedited all last season, then cut out almost the entire third period of the Grand Final, in which the Dockers were playing. It made me incredibly angry. The rules are a bit tough to understand. Essentially if a guy kicks the ball to another guy, and the other guy catches it, it's called a "mark", and now you are awarded a free kick. The object is to kick the ball through the big goal posts. If it goes through, its six points. If it goes through one of the side markers its one point. The game is amazing to watch live, just loved it, especially while quaffing large amounts of Carleton cold and Crown Lager. One of the best things about Footy is every Thursday night one of the TV channels has a show called "The Footy Show" in which all kinds of craziness and non-politically correct stuff goes on. Totally hilarious. The hosts knock back beer the entire show and are pretty plastered by the end. The game started in Melbourne, which is why you have six teams from Melbourne, and only one or two from all of the other major cities. Go Dockers!!

Can't seem to find too many details... http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/Bombers-trade-for-QB-Brohm-release-Goltz-248239301.html

How many times has Marve been stopped? Other than once or twice at the goal line? I know he got stopped on the 30 yard line against Montreal but that was a bad decision to go for it in the first place. With the lack of push of the O-Line I don't think Refrigerator Perry would have gotten a first down on that play. I don't think it was a bad decision, just bad execution. I know it didn't work, so it's easy after the fact to say that it was a bad decision, but that's very micro oriented. From the macro point of view, players love playing for a coach who has confidence in them. A coach that never gambles on 3rd, or never tries a fake kick, or never goes creative does not instill the same confidence in his players. I recall one time I was coaching in an important game, and we went for it on third down early in the game and got stuffed. I called over the entire o-line and the o-line coach and said "that clearly wasn't acceptable, but I know you can do better, so I'm going to give you another chance later to prove that you are better than that". We gambled twice more in that game, both successfully, and scored a couple of touchdowns with our short yardage team as well, and won the game handily against a strong opponent. My point is that many people on this board have been critizing the Rider's coaches for playing musical RB's due to a couple of fumbles. I don't believe that you give up the run entirely due to a couple of fumbles, and you don't stop going for it because you get stuffed on occassion. It is true that you may need to make changes to the personnel or the execution, but the strategy remains solid. Teams that play to win, win more often than overly concervative teams. I just am from the old Bud Grant school where you don't go for it on 3rd down when you are on your own 30 yard line. But I do admire O'Shea's go for it attitude.

I'm surprised that he didn't hug all of the cheerleaders as well. Not sure if anyone here caught the interview that Ocho did with Milt but it was really cool. Milt is a good interviewer - and even ate poutine! Ultimate sacrifice!
