There is an understandable amount of stress and angst among Bomber fans looking ahead to this season. We were led to believe and bought into the hope that last season the Bombers finally had their poop together to take a run at the Grey Cup. After an up and down season, the team faltered following a win over the hapless Riders and imploded against the Stamps. We again find ourselves in the grip of optimism without any concrete reason to expect a different outcome. False hope is the cruelest.
