I met Robin Ross when he was HC at Western Washington in Bellingham, WA. My son was considering playing there. We had some discussions & he may have gone there but WW dropped their football program suddenly & that ended that. Ultimately, Simon Fraser took their place.  My son ended up playing at SFU three years later so in a sense he did kind of play there.  A lot of alumni involved with SFU never understood why the AD at SFU never hired Ross. He knew the Conference SFU played in, the teams & he knew how to win. He was available & the AD at the time hired other guys with no success.

My mom went into the bomber store years ago to buy me a jersey and Moreno was in there.  She met him and said he was a good looking fella so she bought me his jersey.  So pretty much I got his jersey

Yup- very thin skinned over there. 

I mean... the **** that they say about other teams ad nauseum (which is fine, it is a local sports teams fan board) but man can they NOT take it in return. 

The site is a good one (if you are a rider fan) and an alright one if you are not, but wow- ease up on the ban hammer -especially if it's a rebuttal to a slight against a team not named riders... that just shouts "insecure".

yeah....that's totally how it is there...say one thing against the masses there....pretty much a ban or labllled a troll...it is entertaiing though to go there and browse and read all their distorted warped thoughts on things....nice time killer

I like the "the Bombers have a terrible offence and now that they signed Bighill the offence is going to suffer even more"

Next line down "we should go hard after Lapo, hes a great OC and will really help our Offence......"

So which is it?

With Rod Pedersen leaving the Riders maybe they will get someone a little more level headed/fair minded.  His schtick of predicting the Bombers to miss the playoffs year after year under MOS and Walters was growing tiresome. The only joy I got was watching that prediction fail miserably, year after year.

My favorite quote of his was, "the riders will go 18-0 if they sign Collaros"

Lololololol

totally agree...and even today on his interview on the radio, when asked with all the un-rest in the west...question marks all over the west that if the Bombers were the favorite or one of to win the cup...and he still couldn't hardly agree to it...what a putz

Dude.  You showed up at the front door throwing nuclear haymakers. Of course you're going to get banned.  

Bahahaha, it wasn't *that* bad. I didn't call them a bunch of banjo picking inbreds. I could have been much worse!!!

I'm glad to see Rod gone for the sake that he was far too much of a fanboy. Literally too much Koolaid. Bob has always been level and in the middle - yes cheering for the bombers but calling them out when they play worth crap.


As for Rod beating his alcoholism, high five to him. If he is using his experience to help others, even better. All the best to him in that regard.

Story?

Apparently on a Regina cable tv show Rod thought his mike was off and went yapping about Craig Reynolds road trip activites. Pretty hot topic in Regina. I see Riderfans closed the thread

Broadcasting 101: Every mic is a live mic. Still.... We've all done it. He was thrown under the bus by the TD or someone in the room. Same as Roger Millions incident some years ago... Totally thrown under the bus by a minion.

And then after it happened (mid-season last year) he apparently lost the right to travel with the team. 

Riders basically put pressure on the radio station to kick him out.

Who here is a MOD? Are we allowed to talk about it? It's all hearsay. 

As a moderator, I see no harm in speculating and if people want to share what they 'know' or what they've heard .. so be it .. like anything, take it with a grain of salt and don't treat it as gospel.

There is an interesting corollary to the story: it would seem that Pederson was done in by someone who had an axe to grind with him. This might mean that his core personality didn't change all that much after he went dry.
