White Out Posted November 20, 2023 Report Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) Heartbreak only matters when you aren't a casual. We aren't a casual fan base, we don't abandon our team when **** hits the fans. A lot of you are veterans of the 29 year plague, and know that the heartbreak last night stings because we love our team and province. I am grateful to be a part of a fan base like ours that cares, is committed, and loves our team We didn't become obnoxious pigs with success like the rider fans did, and we didn't abandon our team to half empty crowds when the going got tough like whats happening in Alberta. I tried to get this message across last night and maybe it was too soon or too poorly written. The raw emotion of last nights loss stung. But I want you to know that to all my fellow Bomber fans, you should keep your head high because you're part of something bigger than all of us individuals, greater than the sum of our parts. Our profession is Blue. We will be back next year and I can't wait. Enjoy the off season and I love and appreciate you all and I will always be Winnipeg no matter where I am.

BaconNBigBlue Posted November 20, 2023 Report Posted November 20, 2023 The sun will come up today and again tomorrow. The sting will fade but this one hurt more than last year. The love fest for Montreal during the pre-game show was sickening and when that happens, bad things happen and it played out again. Bigblue204 and Deiter Fan 2

The way it played out in the last few minutes summed up quite accurately how it can be as a lifelong Winnipeg Blue Bomber fan. I really did think we were going to win until that last second touchdown by MTL. JohnnyAbonny, Noeller and Wideleft 1 2

One of my Keys to the game was whether or not the Als could generate offensive points- I said to my nephew that, if the Als can do that- we're hooped. After that TD to begin the second half, I gave him that "see... here we go" look and prepared him for the worst.

HardCoreBlue Posted November 20, 2023 Report Posted November 20, 2023 Can we change the title of this thread to something like 2023 Season Autopsy Findings instead of labelling it what it is to be a true fan, i.e., the liquor and anger has subsided, oops my bad for giving up on the Bombers last night? 🙂 Wanna-B-Fanboy 1

White Out Posted November 20, 2023 Author Report Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) @17to85 I'm not going to return fire. I really am trying to be less of an abrasive **** online and less of a emotional reactionary fan like my dad was. If I (understandably) offended you before after Bombers loss by being too negative I'm sorry. Edited November 20, 2023 by White Out Deiter Fan and Wanna-B-Fanboy 2
Pickle Rick Posted November 20, 2023 Report Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) Was at the game last night, I was telling the wife about how buzz and boomer used to absolutely wail on the green drop. A guy behind us overheard us and pulled out his 88 grey cup ring, and let me & my young one try it on. He had some sort of admin position with the bombers back then, not exactly sure. Anyways, last night stung but I am proud to be a Bomber fan, lots of good old boys in blue and gold in the crowd last night. F*CK the Als & F*CK the riders & F*CK everyone else, GO BLUE Edited November 20, 2023 by Pickle Rick JohnnyAbonny, ddanger, Noeller and 3 others 3 2 1

Nolby Posted November 21, 2023 Report Posted November 21, 2023 It's a tough pill to swallow. I'm going to be dodging tsn again, haven't once watched highlights from last year's Grey Cup and I won't watch this one either. HardCoreBlue, JohnnyAbonny, White Out and 2 others 1 4
CodyT Posted November 21, 2023 Report Posted November 21, 2023 Thanks for a great season guys. This website and our bombers has been my most visited site since I was 14 years old. I'm 31 in January! I've grown up ( and continue to) grow up with a lot of the same posters since I signed up almost 17 years ago (wow!) Sorry just surprised myself typing that out. Anyway in my rambles what I meant to say is through the debates, differences, and strong personalities, this website has been a staple of my childhood and adult hood. There will be another bomber grey cup in the future. I have a feeling well be back soon I'll see you all during free agency. Taking some time away from the emotional roller coaster that is our beloved football team Wanna-B-Fanboy, White Out and Mark H. 3
JohnnyAbonny Posted November 21, 2023 Report Posted November 21, 2023 So @Noeller Did you go to the interview?
ddanger Posted November 21, 2023 Report Posted November 21, 2023 Thanks again to all you guys for a wonderful season. I've spent a lot of hours in my recliner hanging out with you! See you at free agency! Wanna-B-Fanboy, White Out, Tracker and 3 others 2 1 3
