Meant to say I only went to, not watched 2 games that season. I watched them all, I only attended the Banjo Bowl and the thanksgiving game where Milt had 4 TDs. I was still sour when they lost, even though we all knew the year was a write-off. Like I was saying before 01-11ish was the peak of my obsessive fandom. 06-11 in particular I lived and (mostly) died with it. The 2011 year made me realize I needed to dial back the emotional investment for my own good. I made an idiot of myself in front of family, having a drunken tantrum during the LDC.

Let’s put it this way. 2019 was the first grey win I’ve seen in my life time. It was years of agony and defeat, years of hope, years of despair, and everything in between. I know for a fact. Nothing will ever feel like the 2019 run again. It was a once in a life time experience and feeling. All the ups and mostly downs as a bomber fan in my life time made our run that much sweeter.

Nothing will ever compare to the feeling of finally seeing one.

Short weeks between games and mid week games are the worst in soo many ways. 1 game friday, one Saturday, 2 Sunday and games on holiday long weekends. Design schedules to balance around recovery time and optimizing views/attendance. Scheduling conflicts are primarily with Toronto, who gets no fans any way and what Montreal? Make it work cfl.
