OT: 2019 Winnipeg Blue Bombers Next Stop the 107th Grey Cup vs. the Ti-Cats

[Jets 31]

Ya, pretty close. Clements and Brock were traded for each other and then ended up facing each other in the GC. Clements gave us mobility at the QB spot, something that Brock did not have. Ex-Ticat QB destroys former team. I would love to see this Ex-Ticat QB do the same thing a mere 35 years later. IIRC the Ticats had given up on Clements, with many in Hamilton convinced Clements was not effective anymore. Kinda like the furor on here when Collaros was brought on. A few on here claiming that he was done. Be real cool if history repeats itself ..kinda. It’s gonna be tough though.
Actually the game that we both are referring to was the 1984 Cup. That was the first cup for us after a long drought. After that win, we won a few others before going dormant again.

Ya you are right , it's been so fricken long i don't even remember the last time we won right . Time for a fresh memory , Bombers win the Grey Cup and then the Jets win the Stanley Cup , the NEW City of Champions .

So, is the Blue Bomber forum just no longer a thing? Down for the second straight week of playoffs. Not sure it’s ever gonna come back now.

Great win. The last 5 minutes felt like it took 30, but I will take it.

They don’t have ****ing showers in Regina....

HAHAHAHA! It can't be that bad can it?

Do they even have running water out there?

 

[Jets 31]

Do they even have running water out there?

Yes , but only well water .

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Yes , but only well water .

I really should not laugh, we did not get running water on our farm until I was 4 (1978)

It's Saskatchewan , when we beat them feel free to laugh , dirty bastards .

Not to be impolite, but... I must post this.

 

[kanadalainen]

And again... yes, I'm aware of the great Karma God, but these were too fresh.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Jumping on the bandwagon for the rest of the season - just in hopes that one resident Winnipeger gets to wear pants again.

Go Bombers!

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Tickets are bought. Row 5 behind the Bombers bench. Can't wait!

I remember the scene on portage and at main also, people trying to climb the light standards, and I believe portage from the bay was closed off at the last cup win.

The Bombers have elected to wear their white jerseys for the Grey Cup even though they are the home team.

Some tactical advantage that is escaping me?

Interesting, but seems weird. Why is there even a home/away designation, especially if Winnipeg isn't even going to wear the right jersey?

The advantage is getting to choose?

 

[Jaytee]

The Bombers are 2-0 in the playoffs this year while wearing their white jerseys.

It seems obvious why, if given the choice, they'd go with white.

 

[irunthepeg]

Of all the teams to make the GC, did not think this year's iteration of the Bombers would do it. With the Nichols injury and just the way the team seemed early on this season. Go figure. Hope you guys get a win finally, I believe I was a month old the last time the Bombers won.

Ya that's what i was thinking too , they don't want to mess around with anything .

 

[dcypher]

Anyone happy with the Bombers chit chatter at work today? You could feel the sense of pride.

The Nichols injury is why we got in , Streveler got more playing time and it also made the Bombers go and get Collaros .

Looks like nice weather for you too , saying sunny and 2c for the high and only -5c for the low .

So, advantage Hamilton. Aren't we the foul weather team?

Hope you have better luck than me. I have been to 4 Grey Cups and am 0-4.

Bombers are due.......Good luck!
