With the price of beer at stadiums (and hockey arenas), throwing beer is not only stupid and classless, its financially irresponsible as well.

Yup. It would be far more appropriate to compare Alberta (particularly southern Alberta) to Alabama. Don't try to take that distinction away from them.

Well said.

Buckley was awful but did not work, contrary to claims.

It wasn't just a win. It was a critical win and a standout performance by Nichols.

To me it looked as much mental as physical. Nichols was hesitant and confused since the beginning of the season and it all culminated in those two horrible games against the Riders. It did not turn around until the bye week where he went home and reprogrammed his head.

Masoli has not looked good, but he is not alone on the TiCat team in that. I would not discount him on the basis of two games- look how poor Nichols looked in the losing skid the team went through. Harris, on the other hand, is pretty streaky so its a tossup as to who the Bombers would be better off playing in the semi-final.

Agreed. Seeing the Riders get pulped today would make whatever that means for the Bombers palatable.

No matter who the credit goes to, the second half was the best (IMO) half Nichols has played. Ever. He showed that he could ad lib and throw the long bomb. I still think he could have used Wolitarsky more, but a win is a win.

So far as I could see, the ball while in possession never crossed the plane of the goal line. Game, set, match.

I suspect that the first team to open a 10 point lead will win.

We live in hope.

Are these some new kind of rodents?

For some reason, Alex Singleton was nowhere to be found that game.

There are few words of comfort for family in cases like these. We are given memory that we might have roses in winter.

Time to badmouth Scorch: your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries. I fart in your general direction.

The Stamps have to be in a snarly mood after the loss to the Riders. This is not only a must-win game(duh) but will also give us a preview into to mindset of the Big Blue at this point in the season. Time to stock up on munchies for the game.

Do you think that step-children who go missing have their pictures put on cartons of half and half?

For $600,000 per annum?

Disagree to an extent. Nichols has played well most often but has also had games where he was ineffective or just terrible. He could be another quarterback who can play well enough to keep a job (AKA Kevin Glenn) but just not well enough to win the Big Games.

Few get to determine how and when their careers are over.

Is it time yet to start treating new member Scorch like a leper yet?

The past few games have shown that the Esks are no longer to be feared.

You sacrifice has been duly noted. Very noble of you.

I agree with you that Calgary has the talent and coaching to put it all together and take a run at the Cup, but there seems to be something rotten in the state of the Eskies. I suspect that at the end of the season they will say, "No Maas."
