Y2C

I bet it was! After 11 freakin' years I had my arms in the air on my couch. Being there must have shurely been special. Especially if you'd made the trip over that whole time. There had been every possible result. A good Bomber team losing to a good Rider team. A bad Bomber team losing to a good Rider team. A bad bomber team losing to a bad Rider team. And maybe the most traditional way the weekend can go, a good Bomber team losing to a bad Rider team. 🙂

Ed Tait covered the 2003 Classic on BB.com. What a game. The opening drive is burned in my mind. Short kick to Harold Nash to start around the 50 or so. Sideline pass to Milt for a first down. Long pass to Sellers for a huge gain. Dump it off to Charlie for another nice chunk. Play action and Khari strolls in for the TD with the ball high in the air. I think I have that game around on VHS. I should figure out a way to get that beauty up on youtube.

Earliest Bomber related memory I have is going to fan day and the massive line up for Dunigan's tent. Matty was the king of Winnipeg while he was here. In game would be some time in the Kerwin Bell era when the team was trash. Not a lot of winning went on here back then, but I somehow recall one game a ball getting lobbed downfield in the dying minutes and batted by an Argo DB right into a Bomber receiver in stride for a touchdown and I'm pretty sure a win.

Favourite: Khari Jones. Loved the guy and still wish him success even though he's with the greasy Als. Least Favourite: Nate Davis. Hated the signing the whole way. Luckily only played one game for Winnipeg. Still one game too many.

That will somehow be Nichols' fault. 😁

Exactly. Finding the balance between price that will be profitable but see near capacity crowds will be tough, but it's what leagues are going to have to do. Teams are slowly catching up with the reality of the time we live in though. We're even starting to see teams buck the tradition of gauging people at the concession stands. I love attending live games and I'm sure the majority on a forum like this are with me on that. But there are a lot of factors that make attending games a hassle. I can not drop an extra $100 to pay for tickets and parking to walk a mile to the stadium when I could be at home without $10 beers and a bathroom line as long as it takes me to walk over.

Incredible.

#2019

Did I? Canadian Mafia strikes again!

Hot take: Canada has dealt with Covid-19 much better than the U.S. due to being so familiar with the No Yards Radius.

Jericho is knocking everything out of the park lately.

Same here, apologies if already posted elsewhere. https://www.bluebombers.com/2020/04/05/column-look-back-ed-taits-memorable-games/

I think it's the proper time? Just to keep it interesting let's call it a Second Favourite Blue Bombers Memory and not include the 2019 Grey Cup victory. But, just in case you needed a reminder, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers won the 2019 Grey Cup. 😎

It's not Cuthbert or Suitor. Cuthbert has been mentioned, but Suitor is clearly saying "Oh baby!" as the catch is made. The "oh no" comment had to have been picked up from in the stands or on the sideline.

He will probably sign pretty soon. The season is still months away though. Teams could easily be weighing options and considering moving things around to fit a guy like Walker in. Pretty sure it was mentioned just recently that BC was probably out. Yes, other teams are also trying to find a way to fit in a top tier receiver but need to balance their cap situations.

Why hasn't he signed?! I want to know his status NOW! NOW! NOW! NOW! What's he trying to get the best possible deal for himself like an idiot or something? People on a CFL message board DEMAND ANSWERS. 😫

Nah, it's not "******* millennials". Nobody's saying "humph! I don't commercials!" They suck, but yes they bring in money to produce shows that are essentially free to listen to. Ads would be fine but the volume on OB is out of control and this is not new. As has been said, I haven't bothered with them in about 10 years.

I don't know what you guys are on about? I'm personally grateful for the Riders media. Clearly the warmer temperatures in Winnipeg are directly connected to the takes in Saskatchewan being SO hot. 🙌

Glad Willie will be back in Fort Hew!

Always been behind Nichols 100%. Very thankful for all he did for the team and wish him success wherever he goes.

An evening Labour Day Classic is different.

Alternatively, they could have watched film of Samoni, Williams and Banks and told them "do the opposite of that."

Just. Giver.

Posting from the hotel in Regina. Just giver boys!
