and by hipster beer what you really mean is good beer right? Cause all the mass produced pilsners are fizzy yellow water. Can't blame people for demanding more from a beer. like raspberry flavouring? Something no one needs from a beer. The beers with fruit in them are for chicks. Which is why I don't get Raspberry Porter. "Chicks" don't typically drink Porter and guys don't drink Raspberry. Tree does this and it drives me nuts. I used to be able to get the Porter without the Raspberry and it was really good. Don't know WTF it is with the Raspberry. Saw fruit flavoured beer for the first time about 20 years ago in France. They sell the fruit flavours like shooters that you add to the beer of your choice and they must have had 50 different flavours to choose from. Best one I tried was licorice but to each, his own.

Nothing creative about the RR organization, that slogan is stolen from a current TV show and every other marketing idea they've had comes second hand from the Packers.

Doubt it costs them a penny as BC Place has expanses of empty seats every game. All it means is that every season ticket holder gets to bring a buddy with him to one of the four remaining home games and the walk-up crowd gets to fill an empty seat in another game. Increases local exposure to the product and generates more peripheral revenue so it's a win even when they lose.

If you find yourself inexplicably drawn to the "Arnold Palmer" aisle in Sears, you probably don't qualify as a hipster anymore. .

They used to, back in the Sweryn Mervyn days. As someone already said, if Winnipeg can get out 34K then BC should be able to get at least that or more to their games. It's kind of pathetic when 25,000 people show up to watch a game in a facility that almost every other city in North America would die for. It really speaks to the future of the CFL that they're losing the marketing/brainwashing battle to the NFL and that globalism is sweeping Canadian culture into the dustbin of history. Take notice of how every "Mom and Pop" restaurant, motel, whatever is being swept away by a "brand name" replacement. Never thought I'd see the day when Canadians would embrace Budweiser beer as their beer of choice when we produce so many superior beers, but sad to say those days are here. I dunno about that last part. I go a lot of places and all they seem to have is hipster beer. Might just be that if you're going to "hipster places" and everyone around you is drinking "hipster beer" you might actually be a hipster yerself. My hips bother me before it rains but I don't consider myself to be much of a hipster nowadays.

Sears is more valuable than Unamba. If they can manage the ratio Sherman can go back to back-up until Sears next injury.

I don't think the CFL had much to do with where Vancouver decided to build BC Place. Can't see why they can't move it, all they need is a few farmers with big tractors to haul the thing out to Langley or Maple Ridge!

I would think quite a few. BC president failed to tell everyone to read the fine print. The seats will likely be freebies in the rafters that are never full anyway. having sat up there many times I can say they are still darn good seats. It's a beautiful stadium. Its too bad the hipster-douchebags in Vancouver can't fill it. If the CFL would only realize hipster-douchebags are not their target market they would stop trying to appeal to them and build stadiums on the outskirts. Their target market should be suburban-lawncutting-mojoes and freakin-farmers-from-yonder-fields.

Alex Hall and Linden Gaydosh released by Panthers
Fatty Liver replied to Jpan85's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
They might want to reconsider that strategy if the Bombers finish the season at .500. Hopefully this is Walters decision to make. -
Why wouldn't he be trying to bring in Greg Carr, Doug Pierce and/or Priche Rodriguez from the Arena league, or contacting Joe Mack to track down some young receiver talent from the States? TJ Harris, Kurt Adams, and Jade Etienne are still available too. I suspect the ORBs will make Dressler a ridiculous offer he can't refuse and they may go after Matthews as well once he is cut.

Except their marketing geniuses probably posted them in corn fields south of Glenboro.

They just need to make the schedule a little more carefully. The West has been beating the crap out of the East for years now. The league was always able to schedule East vs. East enough times during the first part of the season that no one really paid attention to how big the variance in divisions were. This year the schedule did not hide the CFL's dirty little secret. Agreed. I think the schedule makers put too much thought into setting it up for rivals to clash late in the season, next year I hope the geniuses leave it to a computer program to find a better balance.

Alex Hall and Linden Gaydosh released by Panthers
Fatty Liver replied to Jpan85's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
It seems to me in the last 3 games the BB have not blitzed as much as they did earlier in the year. They had great success in the BC win and after that they seem to have curtailed blitzing quite a bit. If they plan to rely more on straight 4 man rushes than Hall would be a great addition. -
Didn't see much of the game, did Messam play?
-
Ottawa fans are already starting to turn on the team, I dreaded this would happen....again.

Alex Hall and Linden Gaydosh released by Panthers
Fatty Liver replied to Jpan85's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Hall would make these guys so much better by drawing away resources. It would also allow the BB to rely less on blitz packages when playing against reasonably skilled QB's that can exploit blitzes. -
I see Cornish is back. Too bad the BB couldn't have a crack at the Stamps without him.

Alex Hall and Linden Gaydosh released by Panthers
Fatty Liver replied to Jpan85's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
This is true, it would be nice to work more rotation into the D-line to keep them fresh and if none of the Bomber draft picks comeback from the NFL this would be a good role for Hall. It seems both Anderson and Vega have been quite banged up this year. -
So I think we know who the better RB is now
Fatty Liver replied to USABomberfan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I thought I saw some glimpses of fire in Grigsby in the 4th Q. and re-watching the highlights on CFL.ca confirms that he actually did break some tackles. As for Cotton he has yet to reach the open field this season so he has been unable to demonstrate where his real talent lies. Still hoping to see a lot more of the 2 RB set in the games to come. -

Fatty Liver replied to Jpan85's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Doubt the RR would invest any more in their D-Line at this time so Bombers may have a shot but there are certainly other teams that will be interested as well so we'll see. Hall is not "plug and play" like the other members of the Bombers D-line so Etch may not have an interest in him. -
I see real parallels between Ricky Ray and Kevin Glenn although I'm not necessarily comparing their talent levels. They both bring a lot of offensive weaponry to the table and can be great game managers but they more than most QB's are dependent on their teammates proficiency to bring their talents to the fore. If the offensive line is not providing protection or the receivers are not running good routes or dropping balls both Glenn and Ray can look completely ordinary but when their offenses as a whole are functioning proficiently they are extremely hard to outscore.
