Super Duper Negatron

Thought this deserved its own thread, because his article this morning is beyond explanation. For those without a subscription, here is a synopsis: Mike O'Shea never takes responsibility for anything, is the most hated coach in Winnipeg sports history (more hated than Kelly, Burke or Berry), and is the sole reason we have 25K at our games instead of 32K. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/football/bombers/the-crowds-at-igf-are-shrinking-so-why-is-mike-oshea-smirking-437107983.html And I didn't even exaggerate any of those points! What a complete and utter tool bag. I think it might be time to save $30/month.

*cough* Calgary last year *cough*

Roses are red, Violets are blue, **** sakes please just win a Grey Cup.

??? I thought has Harris has been good.

I think the problem is every year we are sold a bill of goods that maybe, for once, WE could be an elite team. The problem is this team is usually less #FTW and more #WTF.

It's to the point where big leads actually make me angry, because all I can think about is how many ways they will find to blow it. And they do! I long to cheer for a team where I can actually enjoy when my team plays well because there is a reasonable expectation that it will continue for the whole game. I turned the game off after the brand dead fake. Writing was on the wall. This franchise is exhausting to cheer for.

They can't get rid of it. It's an established part of Blue Bomber canon!

That Will Hill thing...what an idiot.

Ooh, thanks for the clue. Turns out the seat map uses Adobe Flash, which most modern browsers disable/limit by default these days. Followed these instructions on Ticketmaster and now I'm up and running in Chrome: http://help.ticketmaster.ca/why-isn-t-my-interactive-seat-map-working/

While acknowledging the possibility that I made this up entirely, I swear last season Ticketmaster let me choose seats on the map for single Bomber tickets. This year, I only get to choose a price level. Anyone know if/why this changed? Kind of annoying because I would rather be in a higher row, and now I either need to call or head down to the Bomber office. I will also admit that typing this post already likely took more time than it would have taken to call.

I'm honestly just getting tired of being disappointed every year. I don't even need us to be the Stampeders. Even the bloody Redblacks would be fine...

So bummed I can't go tonight. Let's hope for an equal crowd next week!

"The Knee" makes it an easy vote for Tim Burke for me. I throw up a little just thinking about it.

Dressler is good at football. I mean, even when he wore Rider green we somehow all still respected him. He must be doing something right.

I really like the Bud Grant one. Hopefully Cal's is just as nice.

Stadium looks beautiful but first thing I noticed was how far from the field some of the seats looked. IGF looks far superior in that aspect. If the concourses were wider, IGF would be perfect IMO.

Also, more in character, this game has the potential to ruin my whole weekend.

On a related note, anyone else think the Bomber marketing department nailed it with For the W? My favorite since Game Day, We All Play.

Me too, apparently. Is that legit, or did we all need to sign back up after a redesign or something? I can't remember...

Might be off topic, but I ventured over there out of nostalgia tonight. Apparently there is one dude in there named Bennie Thompson that uses the forum as some sort of bizarre echo chamber. I think roadgriller is in on the joke, but one can never be sure. For someone like me that followed Colin (Mookie) from TotalCFL, it is a bit sad to see Ourbombers on its deathbed. Sorry...the recent influx of 90's bands touring the city has got me on a nostalgia kick. On topic...hmmm...Chris Jones is a dingus!

This place is going to be insufferable for a few weeks while everyone competes for adoration and glory. *** LIKE IF YOU HATE THE RIDERS ***

August 20, 2014 for me. Apparently I was more popular back when I was more bitter. Perhaps it is time for a return to form...

I hear Jade Etienne's cousin Onyx is a real sleeper!

Sure didn't!
