Got a pic with Buck taken back when he was the starting QB.  Ran into him at his restaurant (I think it's closed now) and though I hated to bug him I went over and asked for a pic with my nephew and he immediately said yes and we went into the front entrance area and took some pics with him.  Years later same thing happened where I ran into Andrew Harris at the St. Vital Earls, and he also agreed immediately to a picture with me.  CFL'ers are the best!

Danny and Buck's was an awesome restaurant! Buck hosted trivia nights for a short while, and he was always smiling and happy to make time for fans. They had a really good Louisianna style fried chicken sandwich with hot sauce that put other restaurants to shame. I'd go get one rfn if I could.

Yeah you wanna get there by Saturday afternoon and stay drunk right until game time.

They moved up the start for many years to noon or 1 PM local to curb the drunkenness in the stadium.

For a really top experience, get into a fight, get punched in the face, nose broken, have your pants pulled off, fall down the concrete stairs, get a concussion, get carried out on a stretcher, and kicked out for life! 

all on youtube.

good times!

A commendable performance. Been years since I’ve tried that. Miss those days.

That sounds more like a Rider fan experience.  Just add in, split your stupid watermelon wig, when falling down the stairs.

I’d be surprised if the game didn’t get pushed back to a later start or maybe postponed entirely

The air quality here today is horrendous

Yikes.  Was it like that yesterday too or is it worse today?

[Goalie]

Sounds like that smoke ain't going anywhere anytime soon.

Seeing that. The Air quality health index is currently at 10+....i think the CFL needs it to be below 8.5....seeing the lowest forecast to be 7 by tonight...sooooo hopefully!

Mosaic Air Quality

Not ideal for running around in 30+ degrees

Worse today but it sounds like they anticipate it clearing up by about 7-8 pm so maybe just an ultra late start

Long as it doesn't pick up the smell from freshly manured lawns.....it should be a go

My guess is TV. They've been doing the 5pm starts all season, consistently, so I'm thinking it's a TV thing.

So you want Regina to smell completely different just for the game?

Beach, grill, bomber game, that’s the life. Especially with what should be a good bomber win. 

[greenrider55]

Yea smoke is bad today, but should be good for game time. Just no damn wind.

[WinnipegGordo]

DT mentioned the smoke yesterday. @DTonOB Have you received any communication regarding the possibility of a delayed start time?
