Good backup for BO20... but I don't think he makes it out of TC.

Wonder how much signing bonus he got?  $70k?

; ;D  :P  ;)

Check my avatar.  I don't know when I'll retire it, but it won't be for a while.

AH33 is my Bomber hero and a BFL.  Nothing better than him coming home to retire, and getting every single accolade he is due.

Without AH33 we have none of those cups and we'd still be getting eliminated in WSFs to this very day.

I got your back Andrew!!!  Woooooooooh!

Great news. He was a special player and all round guy. I hope the city and Bombers find a way to do something special. A new car or a trip somewhere with his family. I feel this is more important due to him being a local kid and obviously a Canadian.

The celebration kind of award is great but I'm hoping we go big on the idea.

He was one of the Bomber greats, up there with the best of them!  He was instrumental in our winning back to back Cups!   Welcome back Andrew!!

Someone get him a job.  The head coach of a junior football team doesn't pay too much, ( don't believe.)  Great to want to give back, but....not a realistic future, for too many, coaching junior football.

So proud of his accomplishments on the field.  I can even say we are both Oak Park Alumni! How bout we actually try and sign him as a back up here.  We need a back up RB/ SB. Plus we know he can block.

I dunno, maybe he doesn't want a 'job', I think being involved with the youthfulness, energy and excitement of junior football and helping mould and develop players is exactly what he needs as he retires from the game. For some, it helps them 'thank' the game for what it did for them and helps them transition to retirement. Good on him for doing this
