I have nothing to provide since I was 5 at the time.. but thanks for bumping the thread, it was a good read... I missed it the first time as I don't come around here as often in the off-season... I hope we get some input from @SpeedFlex27... he seems to have photographic memory when it comes to Bomber/CFL history...

It probably depends on where you sit... I'd say in my section the majority is in the 30-50 range... I disagree... just get a good band instead... there's probably about 100 bands in Winnipeg that are better than that **** they promoted last home game...

I've always preferred a "tiered" power ranking type of system... Tier 1, Good Teams: Winnipeg, Calgary, Hamilton, Edmonton Tier 2, ok-ish teams: Ottawa Tier 3, Bad Teams: Sask, BC, Toronto, Mtl

TSN is still pumping James Wilder Jr and he has sucked for 2 seasons now...

this is a good point... personally, I actually kinda like it when the announcers are pumping up the other team and my team keep punching them in the mouth...

Do you have the stats on Winnipeg's defense on 2-point converts?.... I don't know if it's just me but it feels like the bombers give up about 75% of 2 point converts...

Why is Luc Broduer-Jordain retiring after the third game of the season?... I assume is has to be "other career opportunities" related... otherwise why show up to TC and play in three games??

Bighill is unquestionably the best player and leader of this defense... but I think the talent surrounding him has increased over the last couple years (including the last of the glorious Hurl years)... I think the defense will still be solid... led by the front 4... I'm predicting 5 sacks of Dom tomorrow night... including Big Willie breaking out with three (a sack-trick?)...

Realistically this game was a "must win" for the Riders... not because 0-3 is an insurmountable hole... but imagine losing to a team that just got pummeled by 50 points, in your own barn... had they lost, it would've been serious panic button time in rider land...

I think you should be right.... but apparently Cody himself says it should be pronounced with a hard J...

I've got an old Clint Kent jersey that I'll need to pull out of the closet thanks to the resurrection of #41... Luckily it's royal blue from when the team was wearing the 80s throwbacks... I don't think this is something we need to worry about.. it was an uncharacteristically poor ball handling game for Harris.... he's gonna tear Ottawa apart next week...

I'm no expert... but I'm wondering if dressing Nelson and Whitehead is a little redundant... they bring similar skill sets and whoever is returning kicks could be used as a "gadget" player on offense... that said, if we can get Whitehead in space and utilize his skills... he brings a lot to the table...

Does Mike Sherman count??

I think the lions will end up being pretty good this year... not a juggernaut, but I could see them winning 10 or 11 games and competing for a home playoff game... once they get their offense clicking they can outscore a lot of teams...

If you're talking about the 2007 GC... it's because Berry challenged a challenge that the Riders won (spot of the ball if memory serves correct)... he didn't challenge an unchallengable (this is, apparently, not a word) play...

They make a good point here... assuming this is true... "On multiple occasions, including our recent collective negotiations, we proposed the CFL adopt a system, currently used with success in the NFL, that would introduce fair and transparent protocols for players facing supplemental discipline. The process would be more equitable for players, streamline decisions and remove the subjective and inconsistent discipline in the hands of the Commissioner. This process would also provide a binding decision."

Disappointing that we didn't get him... but good for him carrying on... always root for Winnipeg players...

You’re a far better twitter searcher than I am!

I can’t remember who it was... immediately after he was drafted, someone in the media said Exumé would be a teams stud right from day one... was that guy ever right...

Hey when your best trash talk is... “maybe your team won in dominating fashion but your QB wasn’t perfect, haha suckers!” probably grasping at straws...

You know what... falling on the sword for that mistake might be the only honorable thing Kavis has done in his CFL career... it's far more likely it was a player's fault than the coaches fault...

I say let them have it... how many Bomber fans are still replaying the 2007 GC with Kevin Glenn under centre?...

I honestly think Coombs is a slightly better version of Demski... you just never know how many games you'll actually get from Coombs... history suggests not very many...

Is the veteran-American-counting-against-the-ratio-in-the-event-of-an-injury rule in effect this year?... if both cdn receivers get hurt, peterman and whitehead come in and Adams now counts as a national...
