The 3 seconds rule is new this year...

The imagery here is super funny... Well done.

If we play the same way next week, Calgary is going to straight up rape us on O and D. Was super ugly against a BAD Riders depth chart. I'll take the win, but man we made a shitty team look way better than they are.

Excited to be home for the season opener! Here's hoping for a big win to celebrate. Osborne Village for some Canada Day fun this afternoon, bday party at Hotel Ft Garry later, a pregame pint at Barley Bros (won a $100 GC!) and then a house party with Coorsman, Wessmith and some others for the game. I am STOKED for today... Lets get it done, big Blue!! #ForTheW #BlueAndGoldTillWereDeadAndCold

Ogopogo didn't necessarily look like any hot hell in pre season but I'm hoping he's a gamer when the bullets fly for real. Busterman will still see doubles until Ogo proves he still has the game, so he should have the space and opportunity this week...

Thought Jeffcoat might get some time because he looked so good in preseason, but I trust management. Frig am I stoked for tomorrow!

with the D corps that Calgary is amassing, their tenders won't have to do as much...

Smith's been overrated his entire career. Not a fan of that guy. As for Jags, if you think he's coming to the coldest-weather climate in the NHL at this point in his career, you're insane. He'd go to the K before coming to Wpg, I think....

I want to believe Trevor Harris is legit...I like the guy.....but until I see a whole season from him, I'm not ready to proclaim anything.

NOt this year, but that was a tradition for a lotta years when I was with 730 CKDM up there. One year, Coorsman even had one of those old Sega GameGear's with the TV-tuner antenna on it, 'cause the game was on CBC at the time, so we watched it high up in the amphitheatre....so many great memories...

You guys should be BEGGING for a Sam Hurl right about now........BEGGING!

Now, as 17to85 and I were just discussing, I wanna believe this is going to be an awesome beat down by the Bombers, but there's still that little part of me that's a Bombers fan who's seen some **** over the years, and has seen this exact situation bite us in the ass before. Games we should win handily, and still we find a way to lose, because we can't have nice things.....

Looks WAYYYYYYYYYY too Star Trek-y for me. I really like Shield, but this is too far into the nerd world...

Long live Rural MB!

Well, Manitoba, anyhow.......

He's a Cathaholic....they frown on that sort of thing..........

I feel like Cheungh is going to make some DL take a lot of retaliatory penalties this year.....

It's not even their fault, either....it's just how the Rider "fan" culture is out there. They listen to SportsCage on CKRM or the other one outta Saskatoon.....they listen to all the various talk radio shows (there are many in that province) and just accept what they're being told, for better or worse, and that forms their opinion. It really and truly is a cult, and the people there have zero ability to think for themselves. They watch the games, but they don't really know what exactly they're watching...."Winning = Great game, Riders!" "Losing = Bad game, Riders!" with absolutely no middle ground there, and no nuance........it's really jarring when you first experience/realize what's going on out there.

I seem to recall not that long ago when you were defending the guy on the messageboards. People were bitching about him (rightfully so) and you were beating the drum for "If not for him and his money, we wouldn't have a league!! We should be thanking him!!" Kinda changed your tune a bit, eh?

Bah. On my phone first thing in the morning. Fixed now. Celly is always right.

I've long believed that when we finally win one, I'd like to see the 01 and 07 teams be part of the celly, just because they were so unfairly robbed of *deserved* rings...

Alzner is great...would love to have that guy on any of my teams. He had a miniscule contract in Washington...could never figure out why that guy hated money.

Walby and Brown are truly epic....so proud they were Bombers.

Chris Motherf***in' Scoreburn is a beauty and you just know everyone in the room loves him. Great glue guy...massively underrated.
