They look to be working here ...

Hope you guys are right, I will still buy tickets until I'm too old or gone! My support has and always will be there ...

You know what, I don't think it's are serious as all that. Yeah they didn't win a championship, but Milt Stegall (and the rest of the great players around when he was) made a lot of football fans in Winnipeg. Those are people in my age bracket (or just a bit below) who became fans watching one of the best players ever and they're in that age now where they are having families which likely passes the tradition of being a fan down. Sure there's probably not a lot of under 25s but really in the grand scheme of things that's not too big a deal. The thing gets turned around they'll jump on the band wagon too. I hope Wade Miller and the Bomber directors aren't subscribing to this theory, but are instead busting their butts everyday to make this franchise as respectable on the field once again as it is in the hearts of us older fans who actually remember a time we could be proud of the on field product ... Seeing that the directors have nothing to do with the on-field product, I wouldn't be holding my breath on that. Semantics, but really the hires do ultimately go through them as well so in essence ultimately, on field product results from choices they make. Joe Mack for example, was a choice made by them. I won't argue one way or another about the result of that decision ...

Hey, I hope you're right ... The future is now for this franchise and the next couple of years are important.

"Knows nothing of a winning team"....except for those winning teams we've had. Just no grey cup. But people here of all ages know what a positive W/L record looks like. Leaf fans know of several winning seasons but I'm sure most would trade those for a Championship or two in the last nearly 50 years. I guess it's a perception thing ...

I hope not, but not winning a championship in a generation (despite some of the good teams and close calls we've had) smacks too much of the Toronto Maple Leaf fan's plight. Can current and young upcoming Bomber fans endure the hope with no results like Leaf fans have? Like Ottawa fans did? If they can't I think there is a real possibility this franchise could be in trouble in the next five years. This is not the NFL, NHL, MLB where fans are content to get in the playoffs. It's a 9 team league and if Ottawa of all teams manages to win the Cup this year (year 2 of existence!) while the Bombers continue to give the impression to fans of the umpteenth rebuild I can see problems with fan support. That trend can only last so long before fan support dies off and the gate suffers.

Will Winnipeg be a city with a nice stadium and no CFL team? If (and I would have said it was a big if a few years ago but not so sure now) the team continues it's pattern of not being able to get the right people in place to guide it, and if it continues to flounder, and it still hasn't produced a winner (is it possible we still won't have a Grey Cup winner by then?), could it still even afford to operate? I know people are going to say the politicians won't let the team go under, not so sure. Right now there's a whole generation that knows nothing of a winning team here and it effects the gate, but by then? IMO, getting the team fixed systemically, is more important than we may realize. The league is not actually that strong right now, 10 years from now I hope the Bombers have things righted.

What should happen and what usually does happen in this league are two totally different things ... #leaguehasdeathwish

I thought that was Beauregard from CBC? It was Mike ... crazy incident, and he was a goalie in junior hockey ...

OK let's be positive ... full speed ahead into 2016 Blue Bombers!

Congrats Joe, remember you hosting Coach Cal's segment on CKND when the team was a consistent winner.

This has nothing to do with WWMO but it sure is cool . Perhaps this is MOS in year 3, putting the giant hammer down? I'm really liking the watermelon hate as well ...

We're undefeated in the offseason ... once again!

It would be cool if there were some way of determining who's the most "ignored" poster on this site Some (who don't take these things too seriously) might consider it kind of an honor LOL ...

Milanovich pulling Harris is my pick for boneheaded coaching decision of the season so far (MOS is happy it finally supplanted all of those games that he decided Brohm should play LOL).

If #97 Hamilton is Ted Laurent, we did have him at one time. Stop rubbing it in ...

Expansion, has diluted the quality of play, no doubt about it. It's nice that Ottawa has a team and they're doing well, but some of the players and even coaching they now employ would help the overall state of play IMO if spread out through the rest of the league. Guess it's nice for tradition, but it is what it is once you go down that road ...

My impressions so far ... YUCK.

LOL

They're different because they have to be or the majority of fans heads will explode ... translation, we hope they are.

Maybe not the best example but at this point, the Bombers need someone who will kick butt and take no prisoners. Cal Murphy did that ...

Sigh ... sometimes I wish we had a Donald Trump kind of guy running this franchise. Nobody would like him but the dead weights would be gone!

I think the Bombers are viewed as a 5 - 13 non playoff team.
