They do get the advantages that come along with being the underdog so we quickly need to let them know why they are the underdog. Don’t let them hang around at all.

Are they the underdog though? Media can't shut up about them and the Bombers are just ho hum whatever.

Playing in a dome helped then 0% - so they are correct in that the weather isn’t why they are losing Sunday.

Houston practicing, if he's ready to go they'll be down to one rookie in the secondary, Parker.

[Noeller]

Yet another really great piece from Our Man Tait, and some awesome quotes from the fellas (Nicky D, Biggie, Osh....)

Tell me about it! I can’t focus on work or anything else this week. All I care about right now is the game on Sunday. It’s been a long week.

I'll quote David Bouchard every time the Bombers host a game in November:  

Still you're not from the prairie and yet you know cold..you say you've been cold?

Do you know what to do to relieve so much pain

Of burning from deep down that drives you insane?

Your ears and your hands right into your toes

A child who's been cold on the prairie will know

Of all of those memories we share when we're old

None are more clear then that hard bitter cold

You'll not find among us a soul who can say

"I've conquered the wind on a cold winter's day"

If you're not from the prairie you don't know the cold you've

they have a very good understanding of what it will take and are not relying on, ‘Hey, we’ve been here before’, although they have been here before. They’re certainly not sitting back and relaxing about it. They’re demanding more work from their teammates.”
 

I like this quote a lot.

I always liked adapting the Bane quote from Dark Knight Rises: 

 

Oh, you think cold is your ally. But you merely adopted the cold; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't feel the warmth until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BOILING.

Simply one of my favourite quotes of all time.

I want to vomit every time someone repeats Einstein's definition of insanity, but never tire of hearing Big Mike.

It just sums up this team's attitude. "We know how hard it was to win before, we need to work harder to win again"

They almost let Hamilton win last time. I'm sure they don't want to leave anything up to chance.

Yup, because one way to interpret this media gushing has a bit of a David and Goliath feel to it, can rising start Kid Canada and crew knock off the two time Grey Cup champions? I think that's the storyline they take.

thats the one they want....100%...and will push that narrative until game time...then have it fall flat in their face
