How is the city not buzzing?? Is it back to back GC losses, so some of the excitement has worn off?? I just got weird looks for saying I couldn't wait to get out to the Pas. I then said Fort Hew? and got the same blank stares. Had to shake my head and walk away at that point.😂 Noeller and Jesse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to talk to the Powers That Be around here about how we can market these things better and all have lots of fun (and hopefully make some money while you're at it....) Season starting earlier likely the biggest culprit. And no preseason games on tsn.

I checked out Ticketmaster for an idea but didn't feel like counting blue dots. I wish there were less of them to be honest. Everything I had read from CoFaj the last couple of days makes me hate him even more. Barf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted June 6 Report Share Posted June 6 (edited) I personally loved the Canada Day starts because I’m a teacher and it was just the best way to start the summer. Last day of school, CFL starts, it was a good time. Edited June 6 by Jesse HardCoreBlue and wbbfan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
