ddanger Posted November 19, 2023 Report Posted November 19, 2023 My thoughts on the game are pretty straightforward.....don't shoot ourselves in the foot ( feet ) and we'll be fine. Tracker, Bigblue204, GCJenks and 2 others 4 1

All his wonderful stories about the Bombers & CFL in the 1930's into the 60's were marvellous & had me spellbound. We used to talk whenever we saw one another in & around 1967-72 when I was a teen. He'd stop whatever he was doing to discuss football with me whenever we saw each other. He loved to talk about Fritzie Hansen & Russ Rebholz. He used to talk about characters like Head Coach Allie Sherman & Jack Jacobs. And a score of other players right thru the Bud Grant era. I don't think that I'd be the fan I am today without him. I'll be having a toast to the memory of "Mr. McGibney" today. Thing is, I never knew his first name. We were all taught to call adults "Mr", "Mrs" or "Miss", so I never asked. What was his first name? His first name was Doug (Douglas) He was my Grandfathers older brother. Everyone in the family called him “Uncle Slug” To this day all the McGibney’s are diehard Bomber fans, because of him and Granddad. Edited November 19, 2023 by JohnnyAbonny

His quack type long throws do give the advantage to the receiver unfortunately as DB’s most often aren’t looking back to the ball therefore sometimes leads to pi as they run right thru the receiver and/or the receiver comes back to the ball as the db does a fly by.

JohnnyAbonny Posted November 19, 2023 Report Posted November 19, 2023 In 25 they should start the game at 1pm. I’d love to see the visual of the trophy presentation against the backdrop of a beautiful prairie sunset Wideleft 1

JuranBoldenRules Posted November 19, 2023 Report Posted November 19, 2023 Edmonton going private is such a bad news story. The two most successful franchises in this league run on a community-ownership model. All the private operators struggle mightily, and always have. JohnnyAbonny, Wideleft, wbbfan and 1 other 1 3
