If the Riders hire John Murphy... oh man I can't even begin to describe the amount of frustration that will bring.... watch them rebuild faster than the Bombers... I wanted Murphy in 2013... I was hoping Walters would go to Guelph and we could get him now... and I just have this sick feeling he's gonna turn the riders around... it literally makes me feel sick to my stomach just thinking about it...

How can you say that given that he's never played more than a handful of snaps at HB? The "IMO" suggests that its my opinion. I base that opinion off of what I think his skill set is. That's what this board is for correct? to form opinions and have discussions about our favorite sports team? I understand it's your opinion. I was asking how you came to form that opinion, seen as how he's never played the position before. didn't we recently have a conversation about this... Sorry, I missed the conversation... I'm thinking that the conversation he's referring to is not football related. It concerns "seen as how" versus "seeing as how". Irregardless of that, I could care less. Yeah... it was a joke... a few of us grammar geeks got all up in arms about people using "seen as how" a few months ago...

In hindsight a seat similar to yours in BC last year would have been $225, or $249 in Regina the year before, or $250 in Toronto in 2012. Prices are comparable to what they have been in recent Grey Cup games for most sections. Fair enough... I should have clarified I have no issue with my ticket price.... but I got a discount and I'm a huge CFL fan... most of my friends think I'm an idiot for going to the Grey Cup and an even bigger idiot for being a die hard Bombers fan... I'm thinking that's a tough sell for casual fans...

They play on a friday afternoon?

in hindsight the prices really are crazy... I paid $199 for my P8 (or whatever the lowest P is) seat and that was with the $100 STH discount...

despite the unnecessary outgoing shot at MB.... this is actually some really cool footage...

Not to mention he borderline revolutionized the slot position...

Wonder if Hamilton resigns Bulcke and Laurent... especially with Gaydosh set to return from injury next year... Also wondering what's up with Evan Gill... does he have nagging injuries that could affect his career?

As someone who has been in the stands for all but 2 or 3 games over the last 12 years... I can tell you that there are a lot of younger fans... some winning will bring those numbers up even more... just waiting for the winning...

the only candidate on that list that doesn't make sense is Maas... why would he leave Ottawa?... the other ones seem viable...

This is exactly right... especially with the media voting... they will never pass the good story...

Wouldn't really care to see Laing here. From what I see though, that's one long list of key free agents. Laing can be a dirty player... but my tolerance level for that stuff goes up when he's our dirty player...

I deleted the gifs for convenience... but I just wanted to say this was one of the funniest posts I've seen in a long time...

I always get disappointed when I log on to see that Rich or Voodoo has deleted posts... damn, I missed some good bickering...

They didn't crank ticket prices up in Calgary though. Tonnes of $35 - $45 tickets available too which is the same price those seats sell for in the regular season. If teams choose not to sell playoff games as part of their regular season packages, which I believe Calgary does not do, then it will be tough to sell 35,000 individual tickets for semi-final games. The best the league will do is move the season up one more week so the first week of the regular season does not overlap with the final week of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Another factor is the draft. The league will not move the season up any earlier than mid-June (late-May for training camp) due to the NFL and CFL draft. People need to accept this. If by some crazy chance we see a 10th team in the CFL, the Grey Cup will happen an additional week earlier in mid-November. Here's hoping... I was thinking yesterday how nice it would be to have a Grey Cup in Winnipeg in mid-November in 10 degrees...

If you're not sure what a hashtag is just search for it in twitter... like I did when I had no idea what this one meant... to learn it means We Will Move On...

Hey, this doesn't work at all!!

Why does that matter?If it works... He takes some of the main concepts he learned from Milo... throws in his own wrinkles... and you have a successful offense... Which is what Milanovich did. He learned from Trestman's and added his own wrinkles. Hard to imagine that Montreal coaching staff at one point was Trestman at HC, Milanovich at OC and Burke at DC...

Why does that matter? If it works... He takes some of the main concepts he learned from Milo... throws in his own wrinkles... and you have a successful offense... I guess it matters too if he is skilled enough to make the in game adjustments. That I don't know. I'm probably gonna be happy with whoever they hire provided they have CFL experience and understand they need to keep Willy upright not just through blocking schemes but smart play calling. Good point... would also be interested to know if Brady or Milo call the plays...

Would love to get him, but why would he want to come here? I can't think of any reasons. - He has worked with O'Shea... - The old "best shot at an HC gig" reason... - new challenge?... - Maybe he really likes and wants to work with Drew Willy and some of the talent we have here.... - Miller does a good sales pitch on the direction of the franchise... just a few off the top of my head... could be one or more of these reasons.... could be other reasons I haven't thought of...
