Walking to the stadium, seems fine. Sites still say 150,so it's gotta start blowing out soon or we will see delays
Never go full Rider!

Quote from: Blueforlife on August 01, 2025, 08:20:20 PMThe suggestion of that is as rude, offensive and disrespectful as it gets. 

Thanks to those that are showing me empathy.  Really means a lot!!!!!

Tboned a person who pulled out on me last second.  Been off work for over a month.  Pretty hurt still but on the road to recovery from a great team of health care professionals.  I know I can be annoying, argumentative and a little abrasive on here at times but the connections I have built with people on here really mean something to me, even if we don't share the same view point.  Stay awesome.  This is a good community.

Based on the AQ numbers I think we will play but delayed a couple hours.  The smoke is really hard on me even with an air cleaner in the car and wearing a mask.  Hurts my eyes and makes me tired.  I have a medical condition that makes me more sensitive to smoke.

Life can change in an instant. Hopefully everybody involved recovers in time without any permanent physical issues. Get well soon.

One game at a time.

Just gimme the rock.

Derek Taylor fact, in 15 CFL games played the biggest lead Streveler has ever overcome is 3 pts.  The Bombers can't afford to fall behind.

I love strevs bravado, his energy and how he's a good team mate, he just isn't a very good Qb, I just see this game going very baseball the changes on D and our lacklustre passing game. They are going to focus McManus on Brady and force strev to pass and it ain't going to end well

Yes and then again he may surprise us.
Go Bombers!

Strange, aqi still up around 150 and the players have been warming up for around 10 minutes already.

In Regina they said no warm up until 80. Lol

Rules clear as mud

Wade's in charge and he's probably not interested in delaying the game.  I can see the CFL forcing the players to sign a waiver next off-season to avoid these situations.  It's football, it's probably going to be detrimental to your health, in or out?

Britt's looking nice.

Willie J was hyping up the team at the end of warm up. Defend our barn!

Mike Miller is the guy always right next to mos. Kind of like boo used to be, the pen chewing stc.

This is first time I've remembered to login to the forum on my phone before the game... Trying out in stadium commentary!

Nice breeze. Enough speed from the south that I think we defer if we win the toss , unless of course the wind is forecast to die down. Sky deck flags stiff. Upright flags dead. Typical igf pas

6 random dudes walking on top of the East side roof! They're doing something, but can't tell what.

Willie's gold mirror visor looks cool in the sun

Quote from: TecnoGenius on August 01, 2025, 09:33:37 PMMy model site shows the bubble shrinking enough to give us good air under 100 precisely for game time and it should last until midnight! It's like the Montreal wind miracle.

I'll take it!

Of course CFL will demand under 80... So there's still that, but the worse stuff is being pushed enough we should get it.

CFL should switch to 100 as the magic number next year, not 80.
The air quality will be so much better by next year due to Carbon Taxes and EVs so I wouldn't worry.  :o  :o  ;)
Go Bombers!

TecnoGenius

I swear the aqi are just made up. Was 150 not that long ago, now 88. I've been in the stands an hour and the air looking out over the city looks exactly the same, smells exactly the same.

Oh well, I hope they don't delay the game for that last 8 points aqi
