Cheering for another global pandemic to hit before Friday.
Selling all the way. WORST possible matchup as a Bomber fan.
will not be attending
will not even be watching on Tv
As much as it pains me to say, I'll be cheering for the Riders, spit!!, I can't bring myself to even remotely cheer for prima dona, chump alexander, no way. Hope they get smoked by 20.
I'll be going to the game.
I'll be cheering against the Riders. Yeah, not a fan of Alexander but I can stomach him more than I can the Riders.

Montreal is super over rated. alexander is ok, but he's not as good as folks are making him out to be. And maaaaaan does he love himself and the sound of his own voice. He's the king of vain!! Riders D line is going to chew him up and spit him out, gimpy hamstring and all!! He won't finish the game

Sold my ticket. This is the barfiest of barfy Grey Cup matches. I won't be watching. At least I made some money off a rider fan so there's that.
Of course I want MTL to win. ABS.
EXCEPT: I think it is better for the Bombers if SSK wins the cup because it satiates the hunger. Hunger is like 20% of the game come post-season. See: 2019 WPG -- where hunger was like 50% of our path & win.
Get that hunger out of that team and those players and then they'll be on the downtrend. Sure, they could have a repeat in '26 like we did in '21, if they are dominant enough and do a good FA. But in general it'll be the downtrend because they satiated the hunger already. And you can't fake hunger.
Whereas, if SSK loses: they'll just be hungrier next season! And even harder to beat. My only real problem will be seeing Oullette win another cup. Man, I hate that guy.
Plus, this really is the best of all worlds (short of WPG vs SSK in GC), as PAS will be fully-attended, mostly by green people. Hotels and restaurants will do gangbuster business. I expect even more SSK people to attend here than WPG went to SSK in '23... because that was our 4th cup and many traveling fans had GC fatigue.
Will the 13th man curse pop up again? :D Have to pull for the Cryders though.

You never have to pull for the Riders. That's banning talk. ;D

I'll be going Montreal all the way.
Alexander is decent, but his demeanour........ very juvenile. Behaves like a fifteen year old. Easy to cheer against.
Also still mad about Ed Phillion. 😂
I'm ok cheering for the west. But I can't say or type it. Can't do it.

Yes. Especially for Harris who would be more likely to retire.
This is going to be as close to a home game for Sask as they can get. Cold is likely. On the other hand I see Montreal trying to take out Harris by any means necessary. Alexander has the hammy. Could it be decided backup vs backup? I'll enjoy the week regardless, whoever wins.
Montreal. I love the way Alexander plays. What a great story too. He could win every game he plays in his first starting season, capping it off with a Grey Cup.
I will be cheering for the Riders. My relatives in Sask. have suffered enough over the past 13 years. Also, Alexander is so over the top. Very Good QB but needs to dial it back a bit.
i might leave the country - sask is going to blow out the Als.

I live in Calgary so will be watching the game. I have mixed emotions on who to cheer for. I think I will just stay neutral in terms of who I hope wins. The only good thing I can say regarding this cup is that at the least it will put some major coins into the hands of the bomber organization. I am not sure how revenues are split however would assume that there will be a fairly good profit from the game heading to the Bombers. Maybe Wade can use the dollars to get some talent on board for 2026. Like a new OL and DL and DBacks and and and!!!
I like Alexander as a talent but lacks character. Pull a hammy! Als still win.
Riders suffering makes it worth while.
ABTR = Anybody But The Riders! Go Al's!!!!
From Jamie Nye:
I've been asked from people wanting to be behind the Riders bench so here's what I've been told.
The #Riders will be on the visiting sideline for #GreyCup and the Alouettes will have home locker room and Bombers sideline.

Juvenile is putting it politely.someone is going to fill that guy in and shut his mouth for good!!
Sask D linemen have a history of taking QBs out, just saying.......

He is like 15. Dude's almost straight out of college. He's still just a frat boy. I expect he'll mature. Switching teams eventually would probably be very good for him. I don't think he's getting proper mentorship on manhood from Maas.

Trevor took a huge 2-head-bang whack vs BC. And he's being dumb and thinking he needs to run and not slide. I would bet money those big MTL DL or Dequoy/Bev take out Trevor. And if that happens, it's game over.

you can say the same thing if Sask takes out Alexander, whose mobility may well be in question if he plays.

Alexander is going to take himself out. It's cold now, perfect weather to pull a hamstring scrambling, he won't last the first half, then MBT the pick machine comes in

Yep, can't see him making it through the game and if he can't escape the pocket the Riders inside pass rush is going to eat him alive. Would be mighty funny if MBT stepped in and kicked the Riders butts around like he did in week 15, 48-31 in Mosaic.
Alexander is 27. He has been with Montreal for the past 4 years, and has dressed for 57 games. Time to grow up.

To infer someone should be "taking QBs (in this case Alexander)" is gross and overboard. You can dislike him and the Als, but wishing harm to him, veiled or otherwise, is unacceptable.
"Davis has played with this injury for a few games, he played the
majority of our training camp with it," said Montreal head coach
Jason Maas. "I know he knows how to deal with it but it remains to
be seen how bad it is.
he didn't scramble on
Montreal's seven-play, 36-yard final drive, completing two of three
passes for 28 yards.
"That's a really good question, I couldn't answer that for
you," Alexander said when asked if he could've run on the drive.
"I didn't play the cleanest game ... but I don't have to be
Superman for this team to win.
"When you have that hindrance, then you have to trust the offence
and the offence is built with answers," said Maas, a former CFL
quarterback. "We'd have to come up with a gameplan that plays to
what he's able to do.
"I don't care if the other team knows that or not, it would be
based on us executing. I know he (Alexander) is fully capable of
playing in that pocket and making good decisions and chopping the ball
down to a bunch of guys that I believe can make plays on our
offence."

Then it was incredibly dumb to go on a football forum where they discuss the games, lol.
I'll be at the game. It's the Grep Cup and I have tickets. This is a win, everyone.
It is the absolute worst possible match-up, however. And it looks like the weather is turning for the worse.
Always cheer against Sask, but looks like I'm going to be cheering against Alexander for a long time. I'm just hoping for a fun game.
So, its the 5th Grey Cup in Winnipeg and the Bombers are the only team not to play in any of them.
6 teams have now participated in one game while Calgary and Montreal will have played in 2 of them.

now that is sad! >:(
I'll be going, and it boils down to the lesser of both evils, but I'll never EVER cheer for the greenies.

This was the organization's best opportunity to make an appearance in the big game on home field.
But they blew it. What a shame.

Great attitude though it is a stinky match up. I am hoping for nasty weather. ;D The nastier the more entertaining in my view.
I will be cheering for Saskatchewan...was there any doubt. LOL

"Built with answers." Yeah sure.
What is it with these coaches thinking they need to write the Gettysburg address when they speak to media.
