Title: Best in the West!
Post by: TecnoGenius on September 22, 2024, 02:15:36 AM
We have a stranglehold on the West.  BC is closest but we have the tie-breaker, so they need to find +2 in the final stretch.  SSK also needs to find +2 to top us, because of their tie.

Being worst in the league for 4 straight weeks to start the season seems like a million years ago.  Kudos to the team for the resilience and spirit.

Fun fact: the current West standings have the teams with this many wins:

8 WPG
7 BC
6 SSK
5 EDM
4 CGY

That's a bit odd, if you're into numerology.

Like a punt hitting the scoreboard, odd? Or just odd, odd?

Like odd odd, odd.

Ya... I too was thinking of Ben Major when I typed that.  Is the word "odd" now forever owned by Major?  That's odd.

Odd that Castillo managed to hit the same upright twice from +50 yards.

Only Montreal can touch us.  Sure happy we stayed the course.  Bombers are awesome.

Also odd: we're the only team in the West with a winning record, after 14 games.  Now that's odd.

Thanks East!!  Do this every year!  This is way better than the West being the league-best by miles!

Back in July I had still fully expected to sneak into the playoffs, but had given up all hope of a WF at home.
That is such a huge advantage for us if we can hang on!

I said 10-8 early season  and when we tanked said 8 and 10.  Looks like I'm be eating bird.  Lots to share.
