Q Country Brandon CKDM Dauphin (mix of Country/Classic Rock)

this is a very famous thing people talk about online. Everyone claims to remember it, but it never happened. There's a name for the phenomenon (escapes me now) but I swear it comes up once a week online.

Lol at Losers trolls rolling up here all cocky now because "all their troubles are over!!" now...... hilariums. I can't wait for next summer when nothing has changed and they're getting routinely spanked and fans continue to stay away from the toilet bowl in droves....

Darren Bauming doesn't work for the Bombers... not sure he'd be able to help.

well that's intriguing... nobody can compete with QX. Companies have tried and failed over and over again. Winnipeg just isn't that much of a Country music city to have that many country stations. The NCI/APTN folks are desperately trying with Now 104 and NCI, but the ratings are dismal. Not sure how Corus figures another Country station is a good idea..... unless they're planning on syndicating most of it with out of province voices to keep the costs way down so the ratings don't matter....?? Curious decision anyhow...

Gotta find a way to score... Especially on a goalie like Skinner, who is not particularly good.

never forget that the last go 'round they had to bump up their STC because literally nobody wanted the job, and then last year when they needed a new OC, literally nobody wanted the job.... EVERYONE turned them down..... except the local guy who just really wanted a job in pro ball. Can't be stated enough.... NOBODY wants to be in The Gap...

nah, his bluntness would have been refreshing and confident... I have no problem with that. But I'm sure JOD was shocked that anyone outright said they wanted to be there.... other than that OC Kelly Jeffrey, who was just excited to have a job in pro football....

those numbers are trending in very opposite directions, is all I'm saying....

honestly, that argument isn't holding much water either these days....

it is EXACTLY what we knew happened.........haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!! I ******* love this so much. Once again, the Riders were left with their pants down and had to double back and beg forgiveness on the guy they told "no thanks..." Incredible. I ******* LOVE Coach Buck so much... it's a bucket list item for me to get out ice fishing with him on LW one day. He's a diehard...

Jesus.... Buck *JUST* turned 42, too..... I sincerely thought he was older than that. Feels like he's been away from playing and into coaching for so long....

I'm definitely not saying you're wrong, but nobody forced Osh to come to Winnipeg.... you COULD argue (as we've just done with the Buck situation) that Osh was interviewing them as much as they interviewed him.... and he was a hot commodity....seen as one of the hottest up and coming HC prospects........ so I think it was likely both. He chose Wade and Kyle because he knew they believed in the same things as him.....and vice versa. At any rate, all three of them believe the same things and make decisions as a group. I truly do believe that.

between the management contracts and now this.... I'll take any little thing to help me move forward. Ha ha.

you can say what you want about 3DN (...and I will...) but Dunk is generally pretty reliable. When Dunk says Mace is out of the running and it's going to be Pierce, they're just negotiating a contract...... and then out of nowhere it's Mace...?? That leads me to believe Buck turned them down at the last minute and they had to double back and beg forgiveness. I also fully believe that Wade "did whatever he had to do..." to keep Buck around. If you have ever listened to any of the various Buck episodes of Handled Internally, Darren Cameron tells a good story about when Buck almost went to the Riders as an assistant after he was done playing...... and how they "worked it all out" during a Jets game, to make sure Buck didn't leave. From Wade down, they LOVE Pierce, and do not want to see him in The Gap.

I know you're on this whole thing about how Osh isn't that important and is just a product of the people above him...... but the reality is that the 3 are apparently in total lock-step and have been since the beginning. They all apparently believe the same things, and with Osh and Walters, in particular, they've been extremely close friends going back to their playing days (great stories from Walters on the Handled Internally podcast). So I really don't think Osh is this interchangeable piece that anyone could fit into..... he's extremely important, as are the other two. A really good example of their similarities.... someone mentioned a couple days ago about Osh and his wife staying late after the 2021 GC "parade" at the stadium and picking up garbage...... then you have Wade, before that year's West Final, in the bleachers, shoveling out snow before the game because we'd just had a blast of it the night before. That's just such a good encapsulation of how all of these guys are the exact same personality..... they're "hands in the muck", whatever it takes to get the job done...... kinda guys. So I guess all I'm saying is, the stuff you're hating on Osh for, I'd be surprised if the other guys weren't in agreement with him..... because they've shown to be the same in virtually everything since the beginning.

2007 draft pick before heading to the Bills, according to Our Man Tait...

Ballsy AND Dunk both said it was Buck... So I think it was, and then Buck turned them down after thinking about actually having to live in "If Rural Alberta Was A Whole Province"... And changed his mind. Losers had to double back on Mace.

I am absolutely convinced, based on everything we've read, that the Losers chose Buck and told Mace no thanks... Then the Bombers found a way to keep Pierce with more money etc.... and then the Losers were ****** and had no options so they had to go back to Mace and apologize because he was the only option.

apparently Milanovich wanted the gig, but he "wanted too much control", according to Ted Wyman on Andrew Paterson's podcast this afternoon, so the Losers told him "thanks, but no thanks..." Curious if that's been an issue with other candidates....
