Cheering for another global pandemic to hit before Friday.

Selling all the way. WORST possible matchup as a Bomber fan.

[The Zipp]

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?     Have to pull for the Cryders though.

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

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.
