do or die

Just trying to stay ahead of the curve, here....

Lions waste no time.....start on D with 2 PI penalties... Harris runs a couple for 14...out pattern to Lucky at the 10 Harris bobs and weaves to the BC 5... Nichols keeps the ball on a zone option.....fans scratch heads.... ...Matt solves problem by riffling TD pass to Demski on a slant, deep in the endzone... Lankford with long KO return....but Lions nailed for holding... Reilly throws great 25 yd pass to Burnham.... ....but Gaitor tips away 2nd down pass attempt... Nichols play action...then drops in perfect pass to Matthews deep for 50... 2nd down pass hits crossbar or post....Medlock 25 yarder. 10-0 Bomberrs Reilly chucks up shot put ball under pressure....Carter catches it at center field... Reilly then sacked by Roh. Nichols with loads of time.....hits Demski right up the hashmark, for another 50... Nichols scrambles and Woltman has ball bounce of hands....for cheap BC INT. Reilly popping some short ones...against Bomber zone D... BC gets an IC call, and passes to Burnham and Carter.... Richardson stops drive....making stop on 2nd and 3. Lions kick the FG For some reason....Nichols out: Streveler in.....who rolls out..... ...and has pass deflected for another sloppy INT... Reilly pressured on 2nd incomplete. BC kicks another FG. 10-6 Blue. Harris takes a 2nd down and long draw...battles past 4 Lions for a FD... Nichols sacked. Medlock 45 yard attempt hits the uprights.... Bombers have left some points out there..... Jake Thomas comes in on stunt and nails Reilly for huge sack... Lankford runs around a bit...before giving up safety.... Bombers had called a time out.....yet decide to take ball, instead of a return.. Plenty of mumbling in the stands about that one. 12-6 Bombers at half.,. Bombers driving for show...but not scoring for dough, so far.... BC starts 2nd half with big flea flicker - couple of Bombers sucked in on Carter throw... White runs though a seam, all the way to the 4. Then pops into end zone on next play The 1-6 Lions are ahead now ...13-12. What the hell? Interesting to see how Blue react.... BC keeps using short kick offs ....but this one not quite short enough.... Grant wiggles and waggles....sideline to middle of field all the way to the BC 25... Nichols has all day to throw but freezes in the pocket and is sacked.... Medlock's 37 yarder makes it 15-13 for the Blue... Reilly throws out to the flat.....Jefferson is out there and leaps up for the pick.... ....and runs it back to the BC 30. Need to cash in on this one.... Nichols screens it to Lucky who cuts in and out...for big first down.... Nichols hits Lawler on hook pattern at the 1. Matt sneaks it in.... 22-13 Reilly sacked by Nevis and Thomas.... Blue overload left side on punt rush....BC misses pickup...... Sayles blows in off the edge....clean block and quick scoop...for the TD Bang...bang. All of a sudden it is 29-15 BC looking like, well....BC.. All time CFL Canadian yards record for Harris announced on the PA.... ....resulting in a very nice standing ovation from the 24,914.... Reilly finally gets off nice pass across the middle....but penalty calls it back... Hansen in at end.....and promptly reaches around and punches ball out from Reilly... 2 runs from Harris, short of the marker.....who proceeds to limp off to his bicycle.... No punt. Medlock comes in for the 54 yard FG attempt.....and puts that through! 20 straight points.....and control of this game for the Bombers... White looks like he has huge gain around the edge...but is tripped up by Bighill... Hansen marches into the Lion backfield to sack MR...but Jefferson offside... Blue show 3 man DL set...but Hecht blows past White to blast Reilly.... Lions salvage 47 yd FG....while Reilly looking very unhappy with his OL... Nichols dawdles rolling out of pocket, takes blindside hit and fumbles.... BC recovers at Blue 25. Dumb turnover #3..... Nichols runs out through tunnel, holding his arm....does not look good... Bighill blitzes....hits Reilly, forces fumble and recovers it. MR really looking pissed. Streveler first series...busted play and an incompletion. Blue O struggling in 2nd half again White running ball hard for the Lions. Sayles hitting hard for the Bombers.... Sayles with another nice tackle....our most aggressive DB, by a mile.... Hanson getting a lot of snaps....and looks pretty physical...... Him and Kongbo are popping the pads pretty good, here... BC moving the ball with short stuff....but eating up gobs of time, down by 16... Reilly connects with sideline pass to Durant to Bomber 33 50/50 ticket flashed on big board....scan numbers eagerly....but the fix is not in... Reilly goes down again...this time at the wingspan of Jefferson... 3rd and 21...Mike chucks long throw to Carter....incomplete Claybrooks decides to challenge this for something or other..... No soap. Turnover. Game officially over. BC sucks. Augustine comes in to do his close out power run thing... 4 straight carries....2 first downs....clock strikes O, for Orange pumpkins... Bombers get job done for my 500th game I got job done with my 500th gin. Give or take a few zeros..

Started in 66 ....with my dad

At least I now know to cheer loud......

Learned something from watching TSN....

Win. We can gripe about how it was done, later....

Easy for you to say.....

Reply from Bomber office: Thanks for your email Tim .. I have forwarded your email to Wade .. Congratulations on your 500th game .. Cheer loud tonight .. the team loves the noise .. Cheers, X

How many times has Reilly thrown up the 50/50 long ball, and gotten away with it, against us?

Might be cheaper, than a new liver....

(copy of E-mail to Bomber office) Attn: Mr. Wade Miller - Confirmation on BC game agenda Dear Mr. Miller Do or Die checking in (my user handle on Morning Big Blue) I just wanted to check and review the following arrangements to celebrate my 500th home game, this evening: 5 PM – Pickup by a Blue stretch limousine, transport to IGF 6 PM – Appearance on CJOB pre-game show. 6:15 PM – Visit to Bomber locker room to deliver inspirational speech 6:30 PM – Complimentary yard long Shawarma, from Obby Khan. 7:00 PM – Free ride around the stadium, in Captain Blue’s airplane. 7:30 PM – Performing ceremonial kickoff, after coin toss. 8:00 PM – Short roaming gig, as CJOB cynical sideline reporter Halftime – Invitation to the 55 yard line – to receive gifts, including life long supply of gin Halftime – Interview with TSN panel 10:00 PM – Rigged 50/50/draw I realize you are quite busy – but I am sure that you agree - it is important that these arrangements go off, with a hitch. Btw – when years ago, I called you “Friar Tuck” on Our Bombers, I was actually referring to your generosity and genial good nature. Yours truly, Do or Die GO BOMBERS!

Yes, never interrupt me....when I am in my cups....

Would be a huge disappointment....if we don't rack up points against their D.

Hope Wally stayed at home....

However it is done. Require a win for the 500th home game.....

Nice catch there, Floyd....

Of course we simply outsmarted them.....by throwing the ball 50 times.

That's what one looks like......until the gin gets to him.

Always thought he was pretty stacked, upstairs....

Yup, a number of "almost made the play" plays. Not the Bighill standard.

Well, I may need one of those. Other than the Mudrucking that goes on, round here sometimes.....

I listened to the coaches show.....and have discovered many interesting products and services to buy.

What can drive one nuts....is watching the Bomber O in the first half of games (overall pretty good), then watching them in the 2nd (overall pretty bad)

Not cherry picking here... Talking about almost 3 games in a row, with subpar passing game. 1st half against Argos was alright.....2nd half a debacle. Other 2 games not good enough.

We didn't score an offensive TD against the Stamps. How many mistakes were made there?
