Name the celebration!

[TrueBlue4ever]

Ok, we need a name for this:

 

 

 

 

OK, "Hardrick Hop" doesn't work because it isn't just him (plus "Jermarcus Jump" would have sounded cooler). Can't do "Bryant Bounce" or "Bond Bounce" for the same reason - we need something that reflects the entire group. So let's have some suggestions here. A few I have pondered (And I claim trademark on any of these if it takes off!):

The Line Leap

The Linemen Launch

The Hog Hop

The Beef Bounce

River City Rumble

The Jumbo Jump

 

Any others?

It's the Hardrick Hop he is the originator he gets the name case closed.

[tacklewasher]

Really? You want to argue with those guys as to what it is called? You have fun with that.

They say it's the Hardrick Hop and I say "yes it is sirs".

[Noeller]

Hardrick Hop.... Love it. He named it, he earned it. End of story. 

[Blueballz]

Hop sounds about right

[M.O.A.B.]

Hardrick Hop as long as his here :)   ..then it will be Hog Hop

[kelownabomberfan]

Whatever they name it, may it be here to stay as the Bombers finally begin to right the ship and start on a long decade or more of winning.  In 30 years some of the current board young bucks will be telling the next generation of Bomber fans "I remember the game where that tradition started" and the response will be "oh no another boring story about the Bomber glory days from the board old farts"....

I sincerely hope this is me. Although I've been watching them lose  (mostly) since I was 13 years old. Now I'm coming on 24 and were due for a winner...

cheers to all the bomber fans who stuck through all the ****. I hope there is a dynasty coming soon

you should start wearing an onion on your belt now, so that you can let those youngsters in 2045 know that it was the style at the time...

I love those stories. I am waiting for the Fritz Hansen stories.  Got to be a couple of hundred year old guys on the board. Seems like it sometimes.

Melvin (Fritz) Hanson

In the early 1930s, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers were tired of losing to the Regina Roughriders and decided to do soemthing about it.  What  they did was to recruit some top notch imports and the best of them was Fritz Hanson, out of North Dakota.  Hanson weighed only 145 pounds, but had incredible speed and elusiveness which earned him nicknames like "The Galloping Ghost," "The Golden Ghost," "Twinkle Toes" and the "Phantom Flash." Hanson joined the Blue Bombers in 1935 and helped lead Winnpeg to the first Grey Cup by a West team, upsetting the Hamilton Tigers 18-12.  Hanson would go on to play with Winnpeg until 1941 when World War II got in the way and Hanson joined the Canadian Army.  Hanson briefly returned to play for Winnipeg again in 1945, playing in at least one exhibiton game before his Army duties forced him to retire for the season.  In the 7 years from 1935 to 1941, the Bombers went to the Grey Cup 6 times, missing only once in 1936.  Besides 1935, the Bombers and Hanson won two other Grey Cups in 1939 and 1941. That first win in 1935 was the big one though and while very few stats are available from that era, Hanson had over 300 yards in punt returns that game including a 78 yard return for a touchdown. Hanson won West All-Stars (there were no Canadian All-Stars until 1962) in five straight years from 1937 to 1941.  Hanson would go on to finish his career with the Calgary Stampeders in 1947 and 1948.  The 1948 season provided a suitable bookend to his first year in 1935 as the Stampeders were undefeated and went on to Win the Grey Cup.  That Grey Cup was memorable both for the Stampeder fans riding horses into the lobby of the Royal York Hotel and for the sleeper play that won the Stampeders the game.   Fritz Hanson was an easy choice as an inaugral member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1963.  Fritz Hanson passed away on February 14, 1996.

I know. IMO it has become too commercialized.  They need to go back to delicious & fresh product that got them to where they are today. I had stuff that was definitely out of the freezer.

I used to be it, then they changed what it was. Now, I'm not it and what's it seems strange and weird to me. It'll happen to you.
