*Note: a win this weekend would clinch a playoff spot for the Blue Bombers for a seventh straight season, their longest run since a 17-year streak ended in 1997.

- Zach Collaros is 6-0 in his career in Labour Day Classic games – 3-0 during his days in Hamilton, 1-0 in his one season in Saskatchewan and 2-0 in Winnipeg. In those games has a 13:3 TD-to-interception ratio while passing for 300 yards three times and over 400 yards in 2015 while with the Ticats.

- The Blue Bombers are 24-3 against West Division clubs since 2021.

- A victory in Regina this weekend would give the Blue Bombers a winning record on the road for the third consecutive season, matching a mark last set from 1960-62.

These are the good times, folks. I hope you are all savoring them.

When it's all said and done, O'Shea will go down as one of the greatest.

Also - Riders suck lol

Is it kick off time yet? 
 

The all day anticipation is a killer.

The picture of Bailey going superman is one of my favourite Bomber pics/moments of all time.

Too bad he's in the gross hockey jersey.

It's been my desktop wallpaper since the day I first saw it. Just a perfectly captured moment.

Riderz because feels. 

The disrespect that continually gets shown towards the Bombers is astounding.

Hodge: I'm taking the Riders and here's why *fart noises*

...dead air...

Abbott: That is a SHOCKING pick considering Jake Dolegala is the starting QB

[IC Khari]

Jake Dolefala is one step below Cody Fajardo and that’s all that needs to be said about that …

Jake just beat BC, Cody didn't.

[Wanna-B-Fanboy]

Stoked for this game!

 

LFG!

[WinnipegGordo]

A Bomber win today would give them a club record 7th straight 10 win season.

Tailgate opens in 2 hours.

t.j. Brunson, linebacker, first game in cfl fined for high hit.

 

The Canadian Football League has disciplined a pair of Saskatchewan Roughriders for their actions in Week 11.

Linebacker T.J. Brunson will be lighter in the pocket following his first career CFL game, receiving a fine for a hellacious high hit on B.C. Lions’ returner Terry Williams. He was credited with one special teams tackle on the evening, while also forcing a fumble.

Defensive lineman Anthony Lanier II has also been fined for late and unnecessary contact on Lions’ quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. He finished the game with one tackle, a sack, and a fumble recovery.

Two riders, fined,  same game.

Something to be concerned about for this game. Makes you wonder after the guy that wrecked masoli.

So they rule a hit that caused a turnover was illegal and fine worthy but somehow can't manage to review it right there in the game to get the call right.

Gapper fans and media are really putting a lot of stock into beating BC and forgetting the rest of the season basically.

The same BC team that lost to Ham.... Good for you, Gappers... Good for you.

It’s called tunnel vision (the tendency to focus exclusively on a single or limited goal or point of view). We as Bomber fans circa 10 years ago understand this. It’s something desperate fan bases participate in quite frequently 😁

And should have lost to Montreal 

[JuranBoldenRules]

BC is a mess right now.  If Noel Thorpe didn't constantly play a defense (cover 0 behind poorly disguised blitz) that's the equivalent of a meaty turkey nicely cooked and waiting to be carved up they would have lost even with Fajardo stinking.

O'Shea's description of why Darby going on 6 game: "We made a move to get Parker on and we'll see how Alden factors in the rest of the season"
