Lucky Whitehead seems out.

Just watched The Waggle pod cast on YouTube.
Muamba as a guest. Predicted a Lions win. lol.

For some BS I think he still holds a grudge against the Blue Bombers. Remember when he went on that free bee wine and dine FA tour and mysteriously skipped here. Plus I think he would hate to face the Blue Bombers in the GC because he knows we would be a much tougher opponent to beat. Henoc can go take a bloody hike. Plus  I think he is overrated anyways.

Ya, he does have an as to grind with us, now there?s gratitude to a team that drafted and developed him!! While the Lions could win, it?s highly unlikely. Rourke and Butler are on the limp and whitehead is out, I just don?t see it happening with a depleted, limping lineup, and then factor in the noise factor from IGF fans, forgetta bout it!!! I remember in the 80 s we had to 9lay in the noisy BC place where you couldn?t hear yourself think, time to repay them for that!!!

I have tried watching it a few times, Henoc was on it the couple times I tried it and I am just not a fan of his in regard to his on-air presence. I think he is a very good football player but between the couple times I watched the Waggle and watching him and Furgason at the draft I think Henoc needs a-lot of work/improvement to be a commentator.

The episode you are referring to would have been better IMO with only DB and DB, and I am not saying that because he picked BC, actually I hope everyone in media picks BC and hypes the Rourke train up to the moon, as it just gives us that little extra motivation. Most players love proving media wrong!

Well, I am glad we have our snow and ice tires on. It looks like it will be -6 at game time, with a wind of 4 gusting to 13. Not bad for the middle of November.

yep no excuse for the Blue Bombers to not have fire pits at the princess auto tail gate! We need fire Wade!

I went on CFL.ca, 3Down Nation and TSN.ca to watch some clips read some press clippings to start getting pumped...my gosh every 2nd article is the same Rourke, Rourke, Rourke, Rourke did this, Rourke did that, Rourke says this, Rourke says that....I am pretty sure BC has some pretty talented players but you would never know based off all the media. Ya ya Butler practiced today but Rourke did..... Seriously every other player on that team gets 2 seconds of interest while Rourke gets 59 minutes and 58 seconds.

I almost feel bad for the dynamic, the media is unfairly putting him on a pedestal for everything.

Looking hard through all the Rourke news, it seems Butler on practiced yesterday, Figerola seems to be back at tackle, and TJ Lee has not practiced yet this week.

Yes Rourke is really good, but Butler is also a very, very good player, I would love to hear a bit about him, it's a good sign for BC that he did practice in full yesterday, I would love to hear how his knee/ankle/hip whatever it is handled it. I don't follow BC that closely but if TJ Lee is out, is that a big loss for them?

GO BLUE

Ya man, TSN is sickening. It's all BC, Farhan, and Rourke. Very little on the Bombers. I suppose it's good for the league to hype Rourle and B.C. and of course, we are the "Evil Empire" now and everyone wants us to lose. As a fan, I hope we kick the living crap out of those guys, but the Bomber players need to stay composed and if they are the better team, and I believe they are, they will win. Just win, baby.

Going to be a cold, somewhat windy and snow covered field? That means there are going to be turnovers. Deep passing game will be more difficult. Players will be falling down as they make cuts etc. Kicking game and returns are going to be interesting.

Bombers should be more used to that but one play here or there could decide the game.

Cold: -6 isn't cold in Manitoba. Bighill still running around in shorts.  Windy 4 km wind with gusts up to 9 km, not that much of a factor in IG field. When you sit in the lower level you don't even feel the wind. Snow Covered:  The field will be swept off a few times before the game starts, snow shouldn't be a factor. Too long in BC, you're soft.
