Ceresna ran out of gas on that last Stamp drive and took himself off the field

Really?? Now I'm going to have to check.

I thought it was hicks that got gassed shortly after halftime. It's like he didn't even exist in h2.

Ceresna was making huge plays even in the 4th. If he left, my bet is either he tweaked something, or cgy locked him out with tempo o.

Late to the party but here are my thoughts (in the incorrect thread format):

- Love that our big name FAs made very meaningful contributions and are showing (in one game) that they were good ideas. It would be understandable if it took a little while to get these guys rolling in our system. Ceresna had just short of one million sacks, and Nield and White made some big, important catches and made us forget we also had Demski and Pokey on the field. I think our revamped rec core is going to be as good or better than advertised and it's so exciting. Gives so much room for Oliveira to do even more damage in even more ways

- Zach looked like he was about 4 years younger on Friday. Running around, airing it up when needed, throwing it away when needed. The same "scrambly Zach" that made us awe-struck when he did that stuff in his debut when he joined us in 2019

- I haven't read everything on the forum but is no one talking about how Ontaria Wilson is the reason we won that game? Massive throw that got us in chip shot range. Shoutouts to Zach and Condell as well for that plan - really showed balls and aggression. And of course Serg - not the longest FG but zero guaranteed. Love that he is chill af to make the most important play of the game and walk it off

- I thought the offensive playcalling was effective most of the time and creative when it needed to be. It felt way different in a good way than what we saw last year and it's super encouraging. Could really feel that Condell is a veteran offensive coach and prepared with a good plan. Can't wait to see what he has in store this week.

Lots more to say but I'll leave it at that.

One thing is sure, if the backfield plays the same as last week bo will slice them up.

No mention about BBQ...

Ya, that's extremely odd! The dude even says that's ALL the news food offerings. Did the bbq go so awry they just gave up??

I'm going to try hitting up the bbq place on 100 level on Thursday, where at least we know they have served the bbq successfully.

The bbq is/was pretty ambitious, with 2 different meats and lots of sides. That's hard for the badly trained high turnover kitchen staff the get right.

I wonder if the meat is supplied by Danny, or if he's out of the loop now.

The Maritimes.... I haven't been there, I really do not have any idea about the way things are in Nova Scotia New Brunswick, PEI, Nfld.

It seems quite cut off from the rest of Canada. I just don't hear about the goings on there very much. At least compared to the  other provinces.

Why would they not want a CFL team?  My thinking is the public just isn't interested.

Do maritimers mainly follow NFL and NHL maybe? Maybe more interested in local minor league sports?


There are People there to whom the cost of a stadium would be pocket change.

Where are you guys getting that Clinton was even thought about or contacted?

The glob sounds like he'd be ready to fit in pretty quickly. Hazen on the other hand, that's no different from the guys brought into rookie camp. That's not really what we'd be hoping for now.

So all the tc lbs were useless or uninterested??

Blue Bomber & CFL Discussion Forum / WBB/WWE marketing crossover

Last post by VictorRomano - Today at 06:05:08 PM

I, like many football fans, am an enjoyer of professional wrestling.  I recently saw WWE superstar Danhausen "cursing" the Cavs in the NBA playoffs.

https://youtube.com/shorts/zWY7P99Da4k?si=y_ikMNsPUreFhYwO

I think it would be great if the club got him to do a cameo for the Jumbotron to "curse" the Riders for the LDC/Banjo Bowl.  Might help get the league a little more exposure down south, and would be a fun rib on Rider fans.

Thoughts?

There's no way McDavid and Leon will go with a Babcock hiring, never. It is well documented how much of a ***** Babcock was to his players, in today's NHL, coaches have got to get along with their players, and that aint Babcock. There's other coaches that are available for that job and I'd bet the farm Babcock ain't even in the conversation

So, Babcock signed with the Blue Jackets, then resigned before he coached a game after demanding players let him see personal photos off their phones? 

And now Edmonton is interested in him?

This is a joke, right?  With all the coaching talent out there, Edm has to be able to do better than a recycled and disgraced coach.

Basically its a tryout camp for these two players until Woodbey is back and then one will be gone.

They need to have 2 Global players on the roster so likely Oyelola has a job for the season, Hazen might find a spot on the PR as they are short backups for Import LBs.
