By the way, does anyone know how I can input a picture from my own phone camera into the post? I can’t pull up a URL, and just copying and pasting, the process works but the image does not appear in the post. 

Don’t want to self-quote, but would really like an answer if anyone knows.

BTW, the Riders have sold out their home opener and this guy would like to see the same thing here:

You need to upload it to a photo sharing site and use their link. 
 

https://imgbb.com is one of those sites.  There are others.

Today’s Bomber group includes a current builder, a current coach, a guy who may or may not be using his “slave name” right now, a current Grey Cup champion, and most importantly, a current fan 😁, all displaying various uniform styles.

Not even his best play last year. In the West Final he met William Powell in the hole at the goal line and stopped him cold one on one right at the one inch mark. The next play Matson blows up the line and Fajardo gets stuffed on third down. Without Hansen’s stick, the Riders tie it up  late. Very unheralded but critical play. Go to 1:46:00 to see the play.

Was Taylor who blows it up

Correct. Matson and Bighill with the tackle, Taylor submarines the line and destroys the blocking. Just a beautiful play all around. My all time favourite game I have seen live in person.

How many days to kickoff?

 

[TrueBlue4ever]

Speed stole my thunder. 
Down to two days left. There is only one choice for today, and it is non-negotiable.

What. A. Quarterback. One of my all time faves. I wish the Bombers would honour him. He deserves it. 

[TrueBlue4ever]

One more day, 3 reasons to cheer.

[TrueBlue4ever]

This game tonight is hands down the biggest sporting event since the Jets 2.0 home opener a decade ago. The 2016 Heritage Classic would be a close second, IMO.

In any case, I am ******* pumped for this game tonight!

Reminder to all that a new batch of Grey Cup replica rings were shipped in and will be available at the Bomber stores throughout the stadium. $50 or $35 for season seat holders. And I picked up Paul Friesen’s “Against All Odds” book yesterday detailing the Grey Cup run from the acquisition of Collaros at (and almost after) the trade deadline, Streveler’s injury and rehab from what should have been a season ending injury, a flu bug that hit the team Grey Cup week, and the emotions of the players during and after each of the 3 playoff games. A very good inside look at just how much lined up right for the team during that 7 week span, and how much luck, circumstance, grit and will falls into place on any championship run, no matter how good the team is. Lots of inside info I had no idea about, an excellent companion to Tait’s book.

As much as I hate putting money in Friesen's pocket, this is a must have book for me.  MUST HAVE

EDIT - I see the proceeds are going to Harvest Manitoba.  Now I feel better.

Thanks for posting.  Of course because it's Suits doing the colour, not a word mentioned about the incredible stuff by Hansen.  He stops a game-tying TD with an incredibly athletic play, and all Suits wants to do is look at the replay to see if the Riders scored a TD, knowing they didn't come close.  Thanks for posting that.  Talk about a Grey Cup saving tackle.
