Basically!  Small kids (well 1 is small).  I could do it... I can have & negotiate anything, but it would probably come at a steep price on the other side!  Plus, I really love being with my kids.  It turns out I'm raising quite a football family.

Just need to get over the cry-when-lose thing with the youngest.  So weird, my son never cried at the (rare) loss.  The daughter... everything is emotional!  Maybe another year or 2...

I'm hoping for bad weather, as now I'm looking forward to us all going.  I really do love it at LDC.  Always fun.

Quote from: GOLDMEMBER on August 22, 2025, 01:47:34 PMThe seats are flimsy and green. They fit me like a glove but bigger trunk dudes will need to suck it in to fit at all.

Mosaic has "premium" seats which are still affordable.  Not high end or super high end (not Pinnacle), but "better than normal".  There's really no equivalent at PAS.  (Mosaic does "perfect price discrimination" much better than we do.)

If you are bigger/taller, the premium areas have bigger seats and each seat has a gap to the next seat, and more leg room.  It's quite nice.

I sat there last time I went LDC.  My only gripe is the cheapest of the premium is down near the 25ish, which is a little farther away from C than I'm accustomed to.

Let's get down to business. The bombers have some injured receivers. I believe ND10 will be back, but does Max draw in for Sterns, or is DS83 ready to go??

Like to see Houston get into the line up. Probably replaces Lawson.

Can we keep BO20 rolling.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

Going to be hard.  SSK limited Mills pretty well in the first H.

SSK D is basically built around stopping the run and getting pass pressure.  That's how they can afford to have a weaker DB corps.  Mace's whole philosophy is to own that line.

There will be a lot of 0 & 1 yard runs up the gut in the first half.  How long do we sacrifice first down production to play the "keep them honest" game.  Maybe Brady bouncing outside at times might help.  We also can't just fake to Brady on RPO every time.  Sometimes you have to "R" it or they won't bite.

Maybe just bypassing their strength by going pass/sweep-mostly is the key.  And including Brady as a fake blocker for dump passes might help.  Throw it to Ike and Eli too.

Lots more nervousness on the Riderfan forum than you'd think for a league-leading 8-2 team...

They're ripe for the picking.  In 2.5 weeks we could be tied for 1st!

He keeps that in his sig precisely for the reason that one day, his wife will see it and she will be flattered and release him for a weekend. Probably won't happen but it's worth a shot. I get it.

We would be in first place if the Bombers sweep the Riders and the Elks sweep the Stamps.The Bombers would be in first because they would have won the season series vs the Riders and the Stamps would be two points back.

No injury report (no practice) for EITHER WPG or SSK?  Do both teams practice Tues?  This will be one interesting week for injuries.  I can't wait to see if T.Harris get a "vet day"...

Edit:
SSK practices are: Wed 10:40am, Thu 10:40am, Fri closed practice.

So we won't hear anything from them until Wed.
