There are just soooooo many jokes you can make with the last name Willy. I can see this getting out of hand!

Haven't had time to read through all the posts. Not sure if mentioned but I like the ST play most of the night. I don't think they they allowed TO past the 25 on any kickoff (unless there was a penalty) for the first half and maybe a few times in the second half (3rd/4th) stringers. Most of the time we had to back up so we didn't draw a no yards penalty! I know a lot of this was due to the great kickoffs and punts but it seemed the guys were all over the ball or the carrier rather quickly. Also the park and ride in and out was super quick. No delays in or out. The staff seemed extra friendly all over the stadium. Quick concession lines etc. etc. Just a props overall to IGF staff. They seemed to have figured out a lot of the kinks.

Wahoo! Crappy for the players great for the fans. Let's get this season going!

I could be wrong but I thought he meant the first of many statues honouring Bomber players, not just Bud Grant. Of course, I could be misunderstanding your comment. Yeah I meant I don't want a whole whack of statues honouring a bunch of players. Keeping the elite group small is the way to go in my opinion. It prevents the watering down of a great honour. I didn't mean "many" as they should make a hundred of them. I think realistically 4-6 is probably the number. Who else can you think of Ploen, Lewis, Battle, Brock, Stegall??

I mentioned this a while back they would be doing this. Don't know all the info on it though just that they would be doing a statue for him. Hopefully it's the first of many!

Just an FYI I'm good friends with Kim's hubby and know Kim quiet well where else would I get all my inside info.

Fixed

Back to the topic......Lewis looks like a machine. Someone post his youtube clips up if ya can

Why re-vote? You would think that with that heavy strike support vote that was leaked, (98%) they could just do it anyway. Re-vote would include rookies meaning they can strike too. But there wouldn't be enough rookies to make a difference with that overwhelming majority, unless the legislation in Ontario stipulates otherwise. Yeah how many rookies would there really be? 15-20 a team? Would that difference really do anything if they have 98% yes already?

Guy, next to you... That would be me. The Linemen were pretty appreciative of the fans coming out and supporting them.Ha, you know I'm always wondering if I'm sitting right by another MBB member when I come on here during camp.Which is why we all need those MBB shirts But then you'll know my secret identity. I already know who you are. Your're the guy that looks like your avy pic but with a marvel Bomber Shirt on

what ? we have lot of training camp injuries too... especially during lapo's time. I'm not saying we never had any. I just don't remember this many before we even had a preseason game. Although some of them may not even be injuries they just so that the player is not on the field...

I said it earlier and I will say it again. I just hope they aren't killing these guys too early. I know everyone is fighting for jobs and trying to impress but I hope the coaches aren't pushing them too much. The one thing I thought Lapo and Burke did well was not push too much in Training Camp and save the bodies for the season. I cant remember too many injuries the last two training camps other then Watson who was taken out by Dan West. Maybe I just have a short memory...

Exactly. I don't mind paying and never have. Would be more convenient to just add to the season ticket price though and not have to carry extra cash or anything to pay to get on....

It's alright.....old age gets to all of us!

Well Danny is 48 so I guess so! Wonder if his body could hold up for a whole season....

Agreed. I could listen to Bob and Mike talk football everynight!

Strange. I noticed everyone sitting on the East side when I went on Monday. Not sure why. Did they give an explanation? The only thing I can think of is they don't want anyone sitting under or near the construction area going on in the West side suites and perss box area.

I don't hate him, I just don't think he's what you hope for out of an import receiver. A new scouting staff should be able to produce better than that. And from the reports in which we can take with a grain of salt it appears Kelly is excelling over most of the new guys. Should we be pleased that Kelly is stepping up or do we look at this as a red flag at our recruiting ability? I was one of the Kelly believers when he had his first game in WPG last year. Looked to be a great reciever. Then after a few games you could see it was just a few long runs mixed in with a bunch of short ones. But to be fair he did come in mid season and had to learn half a Crowton offense and half a Marcel Offence. If he is having a good camp and can learn the playbook now maybe he will be a good receiver or at least a good backup until someone steps up.

I think I heard somewhere that 98% of all stats are mad eup on the spot....or something like that.

Rick Ralph and Don Landry just talked about this on TSN1290. Scott Milanovich apparently did this last year in Toronto. Said no coordinators to talk to media during training camp, preseason and playoffs. Allowed a few interviews during the season. Said the reason they did this was it allowed the coaches to coach and not have to worry about what they have to say after practice or after a game.

And if he has a bad day at camp all you will read is a story from PF on how bad of a decision it was to pick him #2 overall and that the sun won't come up for another 23+ years because our new coaches and management are complete morons.

As Bauming said this morning if you simply ask O'shea anything you want to know he will tell you. If you don't ask he's not going to say anything. Pretty simple if you ask me. Well, that's the story right there. Mike O'Shea has been totally accessible and forthright, he is working with, and including the media. Give him the respect he deserves and he will do the same. You don't make friends by kicking someone in the shins, and hiding behind press credentials. Here we go with that C word again......I'm fairly Certain my 5 year old has more Credentials.....

I sort of like......."It's a Non-Issue......It's Handled Internally......I'm not going to talk about it.....next question......."

Whoa whoa whoa WHOA!!! You actually had some respect for him? Well yeah I had respect for him.......i'd never want to write anything in the paper relating to Sports in Winnipeg. It's not easy to write an article and make everyone like it. But it's really easy to write down anything you want and just put it to print. It takes a skilled writer to see both sides and be able to write a balanced article. I don't even care what Friesen wrote in this article but to come out and compare MO to MK after barely watching a practice is laughable. The ONLY thing these two coaches have in common is their first name! After that it's a sheer drop off.
