I might start buying merch again this year. It has nothing to do with management. It's the first year in a few that I might be able to wear some of it. The bombers don't really sell fat guy sizing. Do

The last game played at Taylor Field will be the most important game in the history of the stadium. The end of a era. The memories of days gone by will be missed. Children growing up and going to game

Hey, let's not knock a guy for shedding a few tears when an entire year of rehab goes up in smoke, twice.

Too late, I've knocked him too many times to stop now. The rider fans at labour day last year can attest to that. (to be fair, I could feel for him if he wasn't a rider. But being what it is...he can go to hell)

Not sure where to put this,  but Chris Cuthbert tweeted this morning that TSN's tentative preseason schedule has four games, including both Bomber games.   

Honestly, I prefer CJOB's broadcast of pre-season because at least Irving knows the players and has been following camp. That first game, especially, you won't see many vets, and TSN won't  know any of the players....yeah, you get a visual for yourself, but who gives a ****. I think I'll listen to Irving over TSN anyhow...

Plus then you can keep your eyes on the clouds so you don't miss the chance to yell at them as they go by.

I usually mute the tv and listen to the radio. Then I have the best of both worlds. TSN doesn't know the friggin players half the season, LOL

Preseason is a great time to take the kids to a game, they are our future fans.  Last year sucked so bad, can't wait for the season to start. I'm pretty sure we can win 4 games this year.

You never said I'm wrong.......and if listening to the radio vs watching TV is the determiner of "old man"................

The ideal situation for me is listen to the game on CJOB live because Bob is a ******* legend and way better than the hacks that TSN will have and then watch a PVR of the game afterwards to see what actually happened. Maybe I got too much time on my hands but **** it, it's Bomber football, you can never get enough.

Well I oughtta....back in the day we didn't need TVs....we would all huddle around the fire and turn on the floor model transistor radio and listen to Foster and Perc call the Canadians vs. Leafs game when the broadcast started midway through the 2nd period.....the back of our eyelids was our TV screen. Yessir...you whippersnappers and your newfangled screens...use your imagination like we did back in the day. That was our entertainment I tell ya.

Is it time to retire this thread and start an "Around the League Training Camp Discussion" thread?

Because it ain't the offseason anymore! woot!

I think the guy that could make the biggest impact this year is Loffler, to be honest.

Loffler could easily tempt the Bombers to go a National at that position (safety). I was told to watch Loffler by a minor league official here in Kelowna because of the plays he was making. Neither he, nor I, expected the Bombers to get him. He'll get in games, on defence, sooner than later.

Riders players aren't the ones who deserve our hate.....it's the moron "fans"....

I hate everything associated with them...you don't have to agree with me....but you'll never convince me to change my mind.
