Official Game Day Thread - BC at Winnipeg, June 12, 2025

Had a smoker with an actual cig standing near my seat at the game.  I've seen vapers doing the ol' hidden-in-the-hand thing before, but never seen someone with the audacity to light a real one up!

If they do it next game, should I turn them in?  My kids really don't like the smell.  They don't want a big scene though, so it would have to be on the down low.

To the smoker, if you're on this forum reading this... not cool, don't do it again.

Did you see Buck's influence on the 2 min drill in BC?  He brought that from his time in WPG.  BC used to suck at this.  We are the league-best, well at least top-2 (we were the best 2+ seasons ago).  We had dropped off on our drill in 2024.  But Buck made sure BC would have this super power this season.

Was the first Demski TD pass the exact same play Strev made to AH33 in the '19 GC?  Interesting... worked then too!

The DB-falling-down TD pass to Hatcher: wasn't there a hint of OPI there?  Both REC hands are on the DB kind of pushing him down.  Would he have gone down without that?

I'm fine with the non-call, but a bit miffed the hands on/push wasn't even mentioned, and MOS didn't seem too interested in a challenge.  The DB should have protested more after he was on the turf, to ham it up to at least have people look at it.

As a scoring play could they possibly get an OPI call automatically from command?  Or is this one of those non-auto-review aspects?

P.S. I was kinda blaming Bridges earlier for all the bombs, when on second look it was basically both corners plus Parker screwing up pretty much equally.  Our HB's were solid though, and BC veered away from them.  Smart move.  And the INTs helped even things out.  I hope the secondary does way better in the rematch.

That's some BS. Tell them to stop or turn them in!

This. Point out the smoky fool so they can be booted from the stadium. How disgusting and inconsiderate.

Yes, absolutely go to the service person at the entrance to your seating area and report it on the sly, if you don't want to directly approach this inconsiderate person, they will then tell him to put it out or go out into the smoking area.

Don't confront the smoker. What would he say? Sorry? didn't realize it? He knows exactly what he is doing, he just doesn't care.  Just inform the appropriate people, they are paid to do it.

No, if you want/need Cooley badly (due to backup situation) and you want to start vs DI him, then Wallace just has to be "good enough".  He doesn't have to be the best option to start.  Wallace could be half as good as Vanterpool, and still get the start.  A super strong run game, with backup, trumps a diminished OL when it comes to Bomber ball.

It's annoying and slightly mind-boggling how one injury (Brady) can have 2-3 AR changes as a domino effect.  Such is the importance of a tier-1 NAT in the CFL.

That's a big maybe. It depends on how much drop off on the OL that might create. If they had Wallace replacing Vanterpool then Cooley wouldn't be a DI. He'd be able to start, rotate or be part of a 2 RB set in some formations.

To that end, if that change is made then he has to see the field in some capacity rather than sit on the bench waiting for an injury. I'd start Peterson and let him play until it's shown he can't be the starter at the moment. There is no guarantee that Cooley would have greater success in the same situation.

Perhaps the coaches have more of a feel about that but nothing in our run game is certain beyond Brady.
