blueingreenland Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Durant or Glenn as back up would work for me. I can't see Glenn back in Regina next year unless Collaros or Franklin sign elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the horrible year he had in Montreal, I doubt that any QB would have done much better. I suspect Durant still has tread on his tires and is probably better than anyone we currently have as backup. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in blue and gold- for the right price.

Taynted_Fayth Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 That can't be true, probably another 3downnation rumor set to tarnish the rider brand.... and after all the laughing they did that IGF had some hiccups after 3-4 winters serves em right.

Fact. Every major building that’s ever been built has minor issues. You have to be a special kind of stupid if you think a minor water leak in -30C temps compares to tens of millions of dollars in repairs d/t design flaws & poor construction work.

MOBomberFan Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Whoa another CFL insider! Every article says they are still assessing damages but you already know it was 15k!

Ever since they introduced the telephone to sask back in 2003 every sister/cousin-wife became an insider because they know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy. I wouldn't say every rider fan is an insider themselves tho as the concept of the telephone is still confusing to them and misunderstood GCJenks, JCon, SPuDS and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, a special kinda stupid celebrating minor damage from a water leak in arctic like temps And as far as IGF, the most complaining & ridicule I’ve seen regarding that build has come from Winnipeg residents, not Riders fans. Most of us feel bad for Winnipeg to be honest, tens of millions in damages in first 3 years? Yikes. Can’t imagine what they’ll find over the next 3 years.

Water damage is never minor. Moisture assessment, mold assessment, dehumidifiers, et. al. It’s actually worse than smoke damage which at least doesn’t create mold and can mostly be seen and assessed on the surface. For the record, I have been involved in a flood restoration project - I hope Mosaic has the insurance to cover this one. As for Winnipeg critics - you are not wrong about that.

I think both fan bases have legit reason to critique their respective stadiums for what they cost and how many issues there have been. I don't think anyone has been foolish enough to believe any place would be flawless, but I do find it funny how many rider fans bashed the bombers and IGF for their issues, meanwhile all season have had their own complaints (along with other teams re: air conditioning for example) and some are even specifically signing up over here just to try and defend their stadium... "Hey Bombers....Nice lemon!" said the rider fan cruisin by in a souped up K-car with the busted headlight and missing tailpipe. In my day, the kids used to call it Karma SPuDS and Mark H. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
