Does the last 3 year make up for 28 years of disappointment?

[GOLDMEMBER]

We are owed:
2 cups for the Jeff Reinebold reign of error
1 cup for enduring Mike Kelly
2 for whatever the hell Tim Burke was trying to do
1 for Kevin Glenn's broken arm
6-peat! 

lol

Guess my take is a little different, there were some terrible teams and coaching choices through some of those years... but every season we (Bomber Fans) were blessed with some entertaining football and potential that didn't materialize. There is only a handful of cities in this vast country where going to a game or supporting a team is even an option. On a larger scale there are people on this planet that have lived their entire lives without owning a pair of shoes never mind being able to log-on to a website and argue the merits of a football team winning enough to satisfy them. I'm simply grateful that I live in a country that affords me the opportunity to go to game if I choose, and to freely voice my opinion on a internet forum about anything I think is important, 1st world problems are a *****!

I nominate for Post Of The Year!

My previous post was clearly in jest.

Was the drought fun?  Parts of it were great, there were some phenomenal teams in that period. 

Were there some bad breaks?  Absolutely.  We should have won in 01 and 07.  The Jyles/Pierce year where we lost a pile of games by 3 points or less was worse on paper than reality.

Was there some terrible times?  Yes, I still am hesitant to fully believe in this team today due to how bad some of the football in that time was.

Have the last 3 seasons been amazing?  Absolutely.

I agree with the sentiment of your post, but this is simply not true, lol.

The Burke year for me was especially terrible. Just so demoralizing that year was.

We were a bad 3-15 team in 2013. Our team was closer to 1-17. Worse than the Reinbold era, IMO.

I don't think I've every seen a coach lose a dressing room as badly as that.

But at least we had a wonderful new stadium , so it wasn't a total loss

Can't say I understand the logic here.

It was one bad season with Burke as HC. It was two bad seasons with Reinebold HC and GM.

I guess that the Burke year was worse than any 1 year of Reinbold. At least the Reinbold era was entertaining.

(I don't blame Burke for 2013)

2013 was just the low point of like, 2004-2015, a period which contained only two winning seasons and nothing but a wasteland of wasted years in-between.

Mike Kelly was a horror show that we weren t allowed to turn off. I 'll never forget his shotgun snaps are.for high school comment and thought oh boy we are in deep deep trouble!!! and we were!!

I never forget the RBs are coming from way behind the backfield to get the handoff. LOL!

Ya know how they say when a coach gets fired mid-season the team get fired up and motivated to make a good impression on the new guy?
Burke lost his head coaching debut 52-0.

Living in the past over something so pointless is dangerous.
We learned from the mistakes.  We have an educated group who can spend unaccountably, (the Province covers everything) so we should be enjoying this. Celebrate the future.
