Morley has been at the very least, solid at center. January has been very good but seems to be a good deal worse this year than last and is probably going to be worse next year. Greaves has been good and solid, and our other two imports have been sub-par. Neufeld has been hurt so often that its hard to judge him, and I keep getting the feeling he doesn't want to be here. Goossen is a mystery to me- is he that fragile or are they easing him in? The times I have seen him in action (which hasn't been very often) he was good when not confused. I can't help thinking Walters and Co. should be able to track down some better linemen than Knapp and Jones and Howard.

With all the other injuries and lacks on this team, Willy's return might make as little a difference as one more victory this year. What we are trying to avoid is a landslide of losses and attitudes like the previous couple of years. O'Shea's job is to make sure that every team we play has to work for any wins against us- no small task.

No one here can remember, but welcome anyways. And don't mention the war. Which one? A "Fawlty Towers" reference.

Not per se, but I'm closely connected to the guys out in the fields. I help with making hay, vegetable harvest, yard work, etc. And also play pac man at the same time . Like I believe this- most Saskatchewanites haven't evolved opposable thumbs as yet.

Yup- its an old truth in football- no pressure on opposing QB, no win, and if we can't do a lot better than we did against BC, we're the walking dead.

Can't compare temperate-climate construction to ours which has unique challenges in winter. No matter how much we slag the efforts to build new stadia in Hamilton, Ottawa and Regina, its all good for the league and the rivalries we all love to hate. According to TSN, there are two interested parties talking to Braley about buying the Argos- all we need there is a better venue for the team and the league is the healthiest ever.

Then why the **** did he go to Ottawa in the first place? And what makes him think that he can be a Grey Cup champion again (for only the 2nd time in a very long career) when he failed to accomplish anything in the playoffs so often throughout his career? Its called money, and everything is a gamble, right? Besides, all this might be nothing, but who wouldn't like his last hurrah to be in hot pursuit of a championship?

Hamilton is starting to turn it around with Collaros, they'll be tough to beat. And if any Bombers think they just need to throw their jocks onto the field in order to get Hamilton to concede, they will be badly mistaken. Its starting to look like Austin might have turned the season around. Even with Willy at the helm, this game would not have been a gimme, and with Brohm, the Bombers are going to have to work for a win. Because of all the injuries and the gaps in talent, the Bombers have lost strength whereas Hamilton has gotten better.

child warrior? He hates kids? Sort of like the old Indian fighter who had to retire because he couldn't find any more old Indians to fight.

This may force the locals to combine-pool in order to get to games.

This is fantastic... mbrg, you rarely disappoint These could also be considered self-contradictory oxymorons- like military intelligence and feminine logic. or All-star Linebacker Henoc Muamba Oooh, heresy. You will be pilloried and thereafter be referred to as "he who shall not be named".

Aaah...Regina, where you can watch Rat Patrol in your hotel room without turning on the TV.

And in response the Bombers sign.......ummmm........

On the Rona radio show this AM, there was a fair bit of speculation originating out of Regina that the Riders were indeed considering a trade of a NI Canadian d-lineman plus a QB prospect for Burris. Burris is pretty much at the end of his career and apparently wants to go out a Grey Cup champ one last time and may even be willing to take a pay cut/deferment to go a contender. Burris would automatically make the Riders a challenger again,and the added revenue from one or possibly two more home playoff games would probably offset his salary cast. Could all be hot air but who knows?

Its been that kind of year. Personally, I blame it all on the presence of Rider fans in this forum.

Franc was minding his own business and thanks to you, another piss match was started. Good job. People like you are exactly why I want to smash my head against a concrete floor at Home Depot. What do you have against my favourite toy store?

The Bombers simply haven't done a great job in promoting their brand throughout Manitoba. Maybe it is something to do with the name because both BC and Saskatchewan draw fans and support from large geographic areas. The Bombers could learn from the Riders in this respect- the Riders have a well thought-out and effective network of Rider Reps outside of Regina to promote the team and even help arrange car-pooling to games.

Because we've grown weary of bad-mouthing Romby?

A belated welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, at the moment, there is a spate of urination competitions going on. This too, will pass. Hang in there.

This is getting ugly. Enough.

Nuff said.

The Rider fan judgement is hampered by a very small gene pool.

Maybe O'Shea decided that the game was a lost cause and chose to keep Willy out just in case another hit would have really racked Willy up. It was pretty obvious who was going to win, so why the heck not exercise caution?
