Well deserved.

[Noeller]

Absolutely had to be. Even Walby said he felt kind of embarrassed going in before KP11.....

Flawless execution of this idea so far.  A Winnipeg legend followed by a CFL legend.

[IC Khari]

Hard to pick between both as who should have went first but definitely they got the top two right! Awesome to see ...

[Tracker]

About time.

[Eternal optimist]

I'll be wearing my Ploen jersey to the game Thursday then. Hopefully the Bombers can honor him with a win as well.

Underated CFL superstar. Whenever the great CFL qbs are discussed, his name never comes up.

October 29th - Bud Grant to be inducted.  And he's going to come out on the field in a speedo.

All due respect to Walby, Ploen and Grant should have been 1 and 2. I would have honoured the older players and coaches first. Then the Walby's, Stegalls and Blinks

I think Walby got the extra push being a hometown guy PLUS arguably the best at his position in CFL history.

Whatever, at least they'll be honoured.

And Walby's personality had a lot to do with it as well.

That, and the fact that he's still walking around in full Bomber gear (with pads) helping rookies figure out where to put their recyclables.  Don't see Kenny Ploen or Bud doing that.
