Heading in now from Victoria Beach, but looking forward to the game. Weather could be sketchy late afternoon/early evening with severe thunderstorm activity in the forecast. Here's hoping it's tapered off by kickoff! 

Let's go Blue...#BlueAndGoldTillImDeadAndCold

See you the game! I'll be the wet looking one.  

[Tracker]

Go Bombers and win two in a row for the first time in two freaking years!

[Goalie]

I don't believe it

[B-F-F-C]

I'm in a bit of a conundrum.  The two wins this year I wasn't able to watch because I was working.  Tonight I'm not.  

I'm thinking I should just PVR it and watch it later and maybe my streak will keep going.  

  

[B-F-F-C]

I'm thinking I should set the PVR to record an additional 2 hours just in case

Go to work!

Last week: 3/5 of our starting secondary missing? No problem!

This week: our top three receivers missing? No problem!

Go Bombers.

Yikes, those weather reports look ugly  --stay safe, people.

And here comes the lightning.

This game will be cancelled. First one since...?

Just announced that after a 60 - 90 minute delay, the game should be able to be played without further delay. 

Gonna be a long night. 

[bustamente]

Good night for the Bombers off the field 

[JuranBoldenRules]

90 minutes should be a cancellation.  Can't expect people to hang around.  It's 90 minutes and reevaluate according to Lazuruk.  Dumb.

These delays are getting way out of hand.  I can see the stadium from where I'm at and there's been one nearby lightning strike in the last hour.

[Brandon]

 Cancelled or does the game get postponed until tomorrow?

[kelownabomberfan]

ok so I'm in Hawaii right now and I come into the room from the pool, get all showered up and beer poured and turn on the stream and bam there is this stupid delay. I am now stuck as to whether to go back to the pool or just sit here waiting watching motorcycle racing.  I refuse to be like the ******-bag Rider fans I encounter here and bring my computer to the pool and blare the game and chase everyone away from the pool, that's a line I won't cross.  Sigh...these weather delays are so lame.  Back in 1986  in a game against Ottawa I remember lightning hit the goalposts in the south end zone, during the game!  And there was only like a few minute delay.  This is ridiculous.

Weather conditions supposed to improve in half an hour. But who knows. I'd imagine at 9 they will postpone it until another day 

[johnzo]

Listening to cjob ... Knuckles just asked Chris Randle about Donald Trump.

I was just back home last week and Trump was all anyone wanted to talk to me about, so that sounds about right....

Yeah. 

9 looks about right

Watching the US news channels here in Hawaii, it's 24 hour Trump all the time.  Really nauseating.
