I HAD to stand there and watch that Farce! sheeesh!

Bomber Fans ! Don't give up hope! I sat through season after season of such humiliation of the Riders! Learn to LOVE YOUR TEAM, and not the WINS!

I suggested earlier to you it is not wise to put all that expectation on the Team so early. Some people call it presuure....some call it a "JINX"....but its usually better to go in fighting with more respect for your opponents and a little humilty toward your self.

A TALE OF TWO TEAMS!
"it was the best of times and the worst of times"

ONE team is in the Grey Cup and wins it when some say they did not deserve to.
The next season they lose their starting Q'back and stellar Coach and their #1 top defensive line man...and no one expects them do better than last place in their division.
They are now 3-0 UNBEATEN against very tough competition while having to use last year's third string Q'back! THEY ARE FINDING WAYS TO WIN!

ANOTHER TEAM was in the Grey Cup and loses. Some still are belly aching that "oh we should have won but we had to use our second string Q'back" because their #1 Q'back was injured......Well guess what? 2 1/2 regular season games later, nearly all 29,000 fans at the stadium booed that #1 Q'back off the field and were demanding that the second stringer take over. Besides that only part of their team that CANNOT be criticisized ( he might not be "great" yet but he is "good") poor performance of their job is the friggin KICKER! This team is now 0-3!!
THEY ARE FINDING WAYS TO LOSE!
As the Radio announcers after the game put it "when you have proven players ALL not playing well, there is something internally wrong"...he meant internally in the organization NOT the players.

I know I have criticized Berry, but he strikes me as the kind of guy who might WAKE UP to a kick in the ....gut.....he got that on Friday!
I will also mention that I have never been a fan of Greg Marshall.

At best the Bombers were predictable....especially on Offence.....thats a Coaching problem. I am sorry I have been right so far!

Very, VERY GOOD point, tempt your kharma:

I tell ya, them Rider Fans in Sask. are a hard bunch to beat, when it comes to support your local football team, becase, they are right in there, from beginning to end, come win or lose, they are right in there.

And ya know what, maybe, JUST MAYBE, some of these Bomber Fans could adopt the very same principle and concept as the Rider Fand do, for their BELOVED Roughies.

Do the same DAMN THINK, for YOUR BELOVED BOMBERS, damn it.

Man, ya got to hand it to those Roughie Fans, talk about total and complete support for their Riders, thye are something else. ESPECAILLY, when they come from all over Sask, to see a Riders home game.

Ya cannot knock them, for their loyal support, come win or lose, they keep coming back every game, and every year.

So, as said before, maybe, JUST MAYBE, Bomber Fans can learn from the Rider Fans.

Next GAME, Berry HAD BETTER, if he knows what is good for himself, and especially for Bombers, to start Ryan Dinwiddie as the starting QB.

Sure it takes more then one player to get a team going, but, BUT, wait a minute, when Ryan was brought in, did ya see the LEADERSHIP, that guy provided Bombers with.

As much as I like Glenn, however, I bet ya, that if Berry had started Dinwiddie and played him through the whole game, I bet ya, that the end results would of been different, that it would of been Bombers that won the game, instead of Lions.

I was IMPRESSED with Ryan Dinwiddie VERY IMPRESSED, with his abilities, not only can he play from the pivot, but, he can also RUN, with the ball, and get the needed yardage for a first down.

I would say, that Ryan is like a young Matt Dunigan, which is what Bombers neeed in a QB, for crying out loud.

Berry, had better start, Ryan, this coming week, LIKE IT or NOT, PERIOD.

It could very well be, that it is Ryan, that digs Bombers out of the HOLE, that they are in, and gets Bombers back on TRACK, and back into the playoffs, and back to the Grey Cup and also, saving Berry's A S S, as a coach, this coming year.

And ya can bet your boots, that Ryan would LOOOOOOOOOVE nothing more, then another shot at getting Bombers back to the Grey Cup, and WINNING it this time for them.

Don't be surprised that Dinwiddie DOES, if he is given half a chance.

So, by putting Dinwiddie in, in the last game, gave him a chance to really prove what he can do, and also, was a savings grace for Bombers.

At least one good thing tho, Berry likes Ryan, so, PLAY HIM, instead of BENCHING HIM.

GO RYAN and BOMBERS GO, bring that CUP back on home.

Hey, if Marcus Crandle for the Riders can do it. then why not Ryan Dinwiddie for the Bombers.

Well, well, well, here we go again, Berry is up to his old tricks again.

Sounds like to me, that he needs a good swift kick in the head, and not his players.

In all due respect to Kevin Glenn as a great QB, he was pulled, late in the game for Dinwiddie, in thie past weeks game against the Lions.

Well, here we go again hot off the press, of the Winnipeg sun, that this coming rematch against the Lions, Berry is putting Glenn out again.

As proof of that, here is a little part of it, from the Sun.





The last time Glenn started a game and threw for fewer than 100 yards was the fourth start of his career, on Sept. 17, 2001, as a rookie member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. That was 70 starts ago.

********Despite his struggles, Berry said Glenn will "most likely" be behind centre for Friday's rematch with the Leos.****************

"He is not the sole reason why we're coming off the field at the end of every drive," Berry said.






In all due respect to Glenn, he is a good QB, no question about that, but, why not let him rest for awhile, and let Dinwiddie take charge for a few games, and lets see if dinwiddie can get Bombers on a winning streak instead.

Sounds like Berry is up to his old tricks again, if he does the Glenn first half, and then throws Ryan out there again, in hopes that Ryan can always do miracles for Berry, Berry has got anoth thought coming.

So, my question is, should Berry start with Glenn again, and if things don;t go right, throw Ryan out there, in hopes that Ryan can do miracles?

Or Start Ryan, and let Ryan play the whole game, and see if Tyan CAN win the game for Bombers.

My choice is, go with Ryan the whole game, and let him prove, that he can start and finnish a game, and WIN a game for Bombers, instead of taking yet ANOTHER chance of going to 0 and 4, instead of 1 and 3.

WHEN, is Berry ever going to LEARN.

Sounds like yet, another Dave Ritchie, to me.

TIME, to bring in Brian Dobi, YES!

Your turn.

Ya Logic would demand that Berry put Dinny in......however, on this one, I admire Berry's guts and strategy. Ya thats right! I am on Berry's page on this one.

Dinny is not fully prepared to be thrown to the Lions yet....literally and figuratively...For one thing, he has not apprenticed nearly as long as say Durant who is now the starter for the Riders coming in from 3rd string last year.

By the way, I predict that by mid season the Bombers are going to be offered a trade with Toronto for Kerry Joseph!

This is predicated on the assumption that The Bombers fail to discover their identity in B.C next game. If they do turn it around NEXT WEEK, I predict T.O. and Joseph will end up in last place in the East. I have never been a strong believer in Joseph....from his days with Ottawa he has shown times of brilliance.....enhanced by the one coach in particular (Austin). He, however, nearly lost the Grey Cup for the Riders inspite of that. Frankly friends I think he is just another Khari Jones who has seen his "day in the sun" and is now finished! I hope the Bombers realize this when T.O. comes knocking to get rid of him.

Back to my above compliment on Berry's decision to stick with Glenn. Why? Because Glenn is a winner....he can lead.....Note, that when he was pulled he DID NOT sulk....he stayed there on the sideline helping out! He does have character.

AND if Berry says he is going to start Dinny, who do you think the Lions Defensive coordinator is going to focus on?? Now the Lions have to focus on BOTH Glenn's style and Dinwiddie's......I KNOW Berry will not wait for the 3rd Quarter again if Glenn does not start moving the offence...so it is much better to pull Glenn during the game if the offence is not catching balls and blocking for Roberts.....( this latter is a seperate issue no one is commenting much on...why do you think that is?)

By the way, everyone is focusing on the OFFENCE here......however, tell me this: If you are playing on defence where you know your offence is going to go and get 4 touchdowns in the first half, would you not be more aggressive and take chances to make plays that throws the opponent off balance? I believe this is why Bomber Offence looks so bad.....The Bomber Defence is the key problem here !

You know...

Maybe some of the posters in here could qualify as coaches for the Bombers since they seem to know so much about football and how it works. After all, there have been some pretty lengthy posts about who's doing what and who should be doing the doing.

Far be it from me to provide my services to the Bombers, I'm just a fan who likes to watch the game. Sure I get disappointed when they lose, but I still wear my Bomber pride, no matter what. Then again, what do I know, I wasn't sad when Troy was released from the team. Speaking of which, wasn't that the original topic of discussion?...

I have to laugh, here are some pretty interesting topics in here about Bombers, however, very good pointers as well.

*Ya Logic would demand that Berry put Dinny in......however, on this one, I admire Berry's guts and strategy. Ya thats right! I am on Berry's page on this one.*

TEMPT YOUR KHARMA, good pointers, bro. however, ya Logic would demand that Berry put Dinny in.

Yes, ok, ya, ya have to give Berry credit, for hving the B A L L S and GUTS, to pul the switcheroo, between Glenn and Dinny in the last game. However, let's give Dinny, the credit for his leadership when he was put in, that sparked Bombers to life, in last Fridays game.

So, ok, if Berry starts Glenn again this time, and if Glenn struggles again, then let's hope Berry does not leave it so late in the game to put Dinny in this time.

I think that if Dinny had a little more time, in last Fridays game against Lions, I think that Dinny could of won that game for Bombers.

I like BOTH, Glenn, and Dinny, I really do, those two QB's are the best one and two punch QB's, that Bombers have had in a looooooooooooooooong time. However, start Glenn, and see if he CAN, get the game going, however, if he cannot, then I hope that Berry will have the BRAINS, to pull Glenn earlier, and giving Dinny a better chance of resqueing, and winning the game for Bombers.

Dinny was what, 17 points short of winning thwe game last week, and he had taken Bombers from what, 42-8 situation, and turned it around, into a 42-24 game out of it.

Not a bad, NOT BAD AT ALL for a still fairly new QB, however, yes, Dinny is not used to the NOISE, at what I call the ANIMAL ZOO, at BC Place Stadium, Glenn maybe the better choice to start with in that sense, but if Glenn is struggling early in the game, pull him, and put Dinny in, so that he has time to work with, to work his magic.

In all due respect to Glenn, this Dinny, is quite the QB, and I think that he, is another young Matt Dunigan, which is what Bombers need.

Dinny is not only young, but he is smart, and can run with the ball if need be, and he also knows, that ya have to slide with his feet in front of him, so that he does not get hurt, or injured.

However, good pointers, very good pointers TEMPT YOUR KHARMA.

SmilingOne, good one.

LOL, I don't know about qualifyng for coaches, but we do have our thoughts on the football game, and Bombers. Also, instead of just feeling that you are a tride and TRUE BLUE, Bombers Fan who watches and supports and wears their Bombers with pride. Take part, and join us instead in what ya think that OUR Bombers can do batter to win their football games. Sure, we all get sad when Bombers don;t win, however, it is the loyalty that we all wear so produly, that helps get OUR Bombers throgh the rough times.

Ya have a good point on Troy, yes, to a point he was faultering, however, at the same time, he was still a good punter/field goal kicker as well, with many set records to his name. The sad part about letting Troy go so soon, was that not only did they let a good guy go, but, a good guy that has many years of experience of punting, much like Bob Cameron has.

So, instead of letting Troy go, they should of made him a puting coach, that would allow him, and Bombers to teach these new guys how to improve on their punting, and kick field goal kicks. THAT, is where Troys years of experience, would of been of great alue to Bombers, and that is where Troy could of really SHONE, for Bombers, instead of being know as a great punter, that was let go.

However, join in with the rest of us, and make your thoughts known as well, like the rest of us, about OUR Bombers.


*Backs out of this male dominated thread*

Nooooowwww, c'mon SweetBabyblues, don't be shy, come and join the rest of us, how ya feel that Bombers could improve by letting your thoughts be known.

Also, by the way, for ALL the gals in here, do you know that Bombers have a Football Clinic, especially for you woman, so that you woman can learn more about the makings of how the game of football is played.

Well, Bombers do, have such a clinic, and maybe some of you gals, may want to sign up for that. It is a lot of fun, and a lot of fun to learn, about the basics of football.
So, maybe give it a thought, and Bombers have advertised their Woman's Football Clinic, on their website, inprevious years, I have seen it.

Something to think about, and I forget what ya kind of goodies that ya get, for attending their woman's football clinic. However, it is something to think about, if you are interested in learning more about the game of football.

Call Bombers Head Office, and ask them for some information and when they are holding the next Woman's Football Clinic. Ya just might surprise yourself, of how much you will have learned about football, when you are done attending Bombers, Woman's Football Clinic. Ya may not come out as a coach, but, ya sure will have a much, MUCH, better idea and underatanding about the game of football. So, give them a call, and find out, ok.

NOW, GO BOMBERS, GO, tear the living CRAP, out of them great big PUDDY TATS.

Here We Go Again Bombers, Here We Go.

LOL No thanks. The posts are too long for me and if I don't post something quite as long, I just won't fit in.

I will say though...you have stated that because Troy was a veteran player, he should have trained someone before he left, as these new guys just don't cut it. But yet, you are suggesting that a man who's never coached in the CFL before should be named head coach. Do you notice any contradictions there?

Thank yu for pointing that you, and good point.

Yes, Troy has been in the CFL for a long time, and it would of been good to keep him, to teach and coach these new guys.

As for Brian Dobie, he has not coached in te CFL, however, he for one has produced some quality players at the CIS level, that have been selected by CFL teams.

And even tho Brian Dobie has not coached at the CFL level, his football program that has proven to be such a success at the CIS level, then why not promote him, and his skills and his football program at the CFL level, along with the players that came from the CIS, to the CFL.

Some of the players that have come from te Bisons are, Matt Sherridan, Wade Miller, Jamie Boreham, and Bob Cramer came to Bombers a loooooooooong time back from the Bisons.

If players from the CIS level such as the Bisons can be promoted to the CFL, then why not promote coaches such as Brian Dobie and his football program from the CIS to the CFL.

Brian Dobie and his football program have been churing out good players from the Bisons, into the CFL.

Football is football, and football from either the CID or CFL pro level, there are some differences, but, BUT, the same football game basics are the same, just two different levels. hat is why ya see a lot of these College Football players in the US, such as the Fighting Irish Of Notre Dame, where former Bomber QB, Tom Clements came from, and other College Teams, Texas A&M, Georgia Tech, and such, they are all fighting to get a spot with one of the many NFL teams.

Infact, Bombers have had guys playing for them, that came the US College ranks. And as said before, former Bombers QB, Tom Clements came from the Fighting Irish Of Notre Dame. However, Clements, first went to Ottawa, to play for the eastern Roughies, he also played for the Hamilton Ti-Cats, and also, if memory serves me well, Clements also played fr the Saskatchewan Roughies.

So, a lot of these guys that do come to play for Bombers are not always from the Pro level, thye are also from the University and College ranks as well.

So, id players like that, can come from the university and college level, to play in the pros, then why not also the coaches from the university and college levels come and coach in the pro level as well.

So, what maybe seen as contradictory, may also work if it is given a chance to prove itself tat it can work at the pro level.

That is why, I kep suggesting, that since Brian Dobie, and his football program is such a big success at the University level, then heck, give him, and his football program a chance to see if it can also work at the pro level with Bombers.

I thnk that Brian Dobis, and his program, would be good for Bombers, and I think that he, and his fooball program can work for Bombers, if ONLY, given a chnce. BUT, the Bomber brass, would also have to be the ones to give that a chance, to prove, that Brian Dobie and his football program CAN, work for Bombers. And when I say Bomber brass, I am talking about, Lyle Bauer, and Brendan Taman for example.

Brian Dobie, and his program have worked, and it has been proven, that it works, whne the Manitoba Bisons defeated the St. Marys Huskies in 2007, for the CIS Championship Cup. And what a thriller of a football game that turned out to be, but, Brian Dobie, and his Unversity Of Manitoba Bisons CIS Football Team won.

And that was the Bisons first Championship title, and Cup win in over 30 year, when Bisons beat the University Of McGill in the early 70's. And if I remember correctly, that Bob Cramer was the starting QB for the Bisons at that time.

And that is why, Bombers sponor th Woman;s Football Clinic, wich helps woman to better understand, and earn about the inner makings of football.

Which I, personally think is a GREAT idea, and concept for woman, and MORE, football teams should be doing such a program. However, it is you woman, that want to take an interest in football, and learn more about football.

A no yards penalty is called, when one player of one team is caught within the 5 yard area of the player returning the ball of the opposing after the ball has been punted.

That is why, a team receiving the ball during a kick off, has one, and mabe two players back to receive, and return the ball. Charles Roberts has done that duty for Bombers, on some occasions.

Time count violation, is when the team that has the football, take too long to put the ball into play, and they are penalized 5 yards for doing so.

Anyhow, there are plenty plenty more,

That, and the different positions that the players play, and why they play that position, like slotback, running back, wide recever,, offensive guard, offensive tackle, quarterback on the offence.

Linebacker, defensive end, defensive back, for example on the defence. Those will most likely be some of the things that they teach at the Woman's Football Clinic.

ALL good stuff to learn about football.

Gone from cutting a player to putting an amateur coach in (thanks for finally spelling his name right) to trying to send someone to a football clinic to learn about football. (after she had joined a football thread and stated she was a fan of football) Can you say sexist?

.......or devolved, depending on your point of view.

Listen, Brian Dobie is a great university coach. He was also a great high school coach at Churchill, I hated playing against his teams because they always thumped us.

However, its a huge step from Canadian university ball to the pros. The Ticats tried it with Greg Marshall a few years back, and that franchise is still trying to recover from the wreckage that was left behind. Dobie would have to put in a few years as a CFL assistant, in my opinion, before he could possibly be considered for a head coaching position in the CFL. The speculation on him taking over the Bombers is absolutely laughable.

And ya, I was at the game Friday....and they realllllllly sucked out loud.........they need to overaul the defensive backs, first priority......other than that, they're still a team with a lot of talent who can get things hopefully turned around.

There........under 25 lines........it can be done!!!!!!

I appreciate to suggestion that I might be a good coach! Not that I am vain...or something!

My expertise however, lies in making "reads" and "predictions"....so maybe you wanna ask me what to play in Sports Select! LOL!!

Gee, Smiler! I think you might be gettin a little too sensitive about Dak's suggestion (which I took as a broad suggestion...no pun intended) that there is football camp for women.

Women! Women! Listen up!
You know how bars will run special promos directed at Women to bring them to the bar?? Why? Because they know that if the women come the men will follow! Its nature!

Well NEWS BULLETIN ! Men go to football games in numbers far exceeding women who go .....(so its one thing we like to do without our prime objective of gettin laid) ....So logic should tell you that if you want a better chance to meet a man go to where they congregate in numbers where the male to female ratio is much higher males!

And guess what ? You might even start enjoying football too!

I can take a shot...the 'local' forums are intended for use by the local members of said group. So for example, someone from Manitoba goes into the BC threads and starts to post there...that's a POF no-no. However there may be exceptions to where a person states that they used to live in said local area...but don't quote me on that part.


Gee, Smiler! I think you might be gettin a little too sensitive about Dak's suggestion (which I took as a broad suggestion...no pun intended) that there is football camp for women.


I guess I saw it differently and that it was 'suggested' that she should go. I for one can attest to her knowing her football sh*t.

I think I have to agree with what Scott Taylor said the other day; he thinks that the players just don't have the respect for the coach and pretty much have stopped listening to him. Unfortunately, it does come back to Troy; they all saw what kind of crap Berry put him through last year. Love or hate Troy, he didnt' deserve to be treated that way; if Berry wanted him gone, then he should have cut him ASAP and not this BS they did last year (which he saved their ass in the playoffs) and then to basically humiliate him in training camp. The guy had to hear from the media that he wasn't able to try out for the punting job! Players see that and know that it could happen to ANY of them...not very motivating at all!

I don't pretend to no anything about football, no, no, no, but I like to watch it at playoff and Grey Cup time. I would go to a game or too. I first watched football back when Kenny Ploen was playing.

OMG I'm aging myself, I was just a tender sweet young thing though

Well said tempt your kharma , very well said, bro.

SmilingOne, I meant no offence, of bringing up the topic of Woman's Football Clinic, no offence was intended, non at all. Instead, it was more of a suggestion of helping you gals to be able, and to learn more about football, and how it is played. At times it can get quite confusing, and hard to understand, however, the Woman's Football Clinic elevates all that, and ya know, as our friend kharma pointed out, it is a good way to attract the man of your choice.

Football, is one of mans favorite sports games, and the more that you can share that with him, the better oyur success is, in attracting him.

As for Brian Dobie, ya, sure, he may not have al the CFL experience as a coach, bu ya know what, he DOES, have pretty much all the experience that a coaxh needs to coach a team eve from the University level, and time, and time again, Brian Dobie has proved that is plan DOES work.

So, would I hire Brian Dobie, as a coach for a CFL team, with the proven succes rate he has with the his football program, would I hire him.

Ya DAMN RIGHTS, I would, because, I see a coach here that has not only good experience, form a University level, but all a proven football program that works.

So, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, ya damn rights I would hire him, like RIGHT NOW, and I would hire him, before anyone else got their greasy little hands on him, even IF, he came from the University leve, ya bet I would let him put his coaching skills, and proven football program to work, for the team.

And maybe, that is one of the reasons, that Berry is having so much trouble, and I think that someone else pointed it out. Is that the players don't have ANY R E S P E C T for Berry any more, for the dirty crap that he pulled on Tro. Troy was part of the team, and when ya pull something like what Berry did, ya, that is going to sink in with the other players, and it won't bode with them either. And further more, it sounds to me, that Berry does not have a proven, successful football program, like Brian Dobie has got.

So, ya, all the more reason, I would hire Brian Dobie as a coach, and I would not have ANY, second thoughts about it either.

The comments from Danoo!! ...Oh Dano Boy, the pipes , the pipes are bowin!! (mispelled intentionally!)

THAT could very well be it! I never caught Scott's commentary .... and as i have indicated on here before I AM NOT A GREAT TROY FAN....but there appears something uncannily coincidental with Troy's release and the Team's Morale!

Perhaps someone should not berry (spelling intended) their head into the sand and deal with it publicly ....if there was legitamate reasons for letting him go SAY IT!

But Berry insults the Bombers and the Bomber fans by saying it was because of Troy's preformance.....we are not idiots !

So Berry , what was the real reason you targeted Troy!!

Good pointers, tempt your kharma:

It sure seems lke, ombers have not been the same team, after Berry differences with Troy.

Troy, WAS, a MAJOR part of Bombers, and that is not just from the kicking end of it either.

WHO, was it, that invented the Banjo Bowl?

I was our buddy Troy Westwood, by call the Rider Fan a bunch of, well, I think you know what I mean.

Troy kind of reminds me of the old song, Ghost Busters.

Who Ya gonna Call, Trrrrrrrrrroooooooooooy Westwood, who can ya call, Trrrrrrrrrroooooooooooy Westwood.

So, ya, it now makes you wonder who Berry has got on his hit list of who he is going to hit on next.

Gooooooooooooood, lord.

You know i liked westwood , but he is gone and no amount of crow is gonna get him back so live with what ya got.
As far as the game goes lets face it the bombers have become to predictable with glen ,he's been playing all the same plays short pass and try to run it ,and when they tried the one screen pass it was embarrassing.
Now dimwiddie made the game better because he's not as predictable and mixed his plays better.Thats not to say he's a better q back because on a good day glen is one of the best but he has to get his feces back together , or we may be looking at a new starter in the very near future.
Of course thats just my opinion and i have been known to be full of sh*t

However, ya also got to credit Dinwiddie for his leadership, of getting Bombers going again, late in the game. Unfortunately, Glenn could not. Maybe Glenn needs to maybse sit out a few games, for awhile to give him a break, and since Dinwiddie was so unpredictable, then that is what caught the Lions off guard as well.

Either which way ya look at it, Dinwiddie did an excellent job for Bombers, and given Dinwiddie a little more time in the game, I bet he could of won tt game for Bombers, however, HE DID, get Bombers out of the slump, even thos he did not win it, yet, at least Dinwiddie made it close.

NOPE, I give Ryan FUL CREDIT, for his remarkable ability to show the kind of quality QB, that he IS, and also, hist leadership, and poise, under that kind of presssure.

I say, congrats, and kudos, and good for Ryan, for his efforts, of making a reasonable respectable game out of it, for Bombers, of making it 24, to 42, ya sure it is still a loss, but, not as bad of a loss that it could of been.

0 and 4 now, well, it is TIME, to bring in Brian Dobie, and his successful football program NO, IF's, WHEN's, or BUT's, to try and get Bombers out of the hole, that they have created, and hopefull it is not too late either.

Brendan, cannot keep on overlooking the situation at hand, and also, YA, I have spoken with Brendan directly by e-mal, expressing my thoughts, about Brian Dobie, and I can honestly tell ya, that Brendan is very well aware of Brian Dobie and his successful football program with the Bisons, because, he has tole me that himself.

TIME, to go get Brian Dobie, and make him Bombers Head Coach, because, Berry is not working out.

Disagree with me all you want, but, BUT, ya cannot deny the fact, that Brian is a successful coach, that HAS, a successful football program with the Bisons, and he as a coach has proved that, over, and over, otherwise, if he and his football program, were not a success, then Bison;s would not be churning out the successful Bison players that they are, that are being picked up by other CFL teams.

No matter what anyone says here I think there is only one solution :

Find the mojo that Troy incarnated and destroy it!

What else can explain the fluky crap....ok maybe the ghost of Bob Ackles....but that wouldn't explain the first two games.

I, for one, as a pseudo Bomber fan ( mixed with Rider Green) was PROUD to be a Bomber fan ! Those guys FOUGHT hard! Now I can see the only thing missing was Milt Stegal....and of course and unbiased referees!

So lets suck it up and cheer inspite of the losses . This type of year is what builds Fan Character ! Sell Out the Stadium in a losing Year and you will become this Year's Greatest CFL fans!
