No, but I'm sure if we catch a ride on some grain transporting trains, we should be able to make it.

Nah if I want to see a skyscraper I'll go to Toronto where they actually have some!

See you in November!

Do I detect a bit of a Montréal /Saskatchewan rivalry brewing?

I never thought I'd live to see the day.

Toronto....Sorry I do not know.

Montrealers generally head out to NYC instead of Toronto.

Way more... anyway

wow, Hamilton and Winnipeg are just awful this year, I bet we see a western team cross over and take the last eastern playoff spot.

SteelTown · #**246** Posted **Sep 8, 2008, 6:44 PM**

Hamilton head coach got fired today. This must be our 2 or 3rd coach fired in a row. Danny Mac is on the coaching staff so perhaps Danny Mac will be the new coach next season.

The Bombers are a mess. In almost an incalcuable number of ways.

What a disappointment. What an inexcusable disappointment.

I'm enjoying every second of it. My friend from Saskatchewan is a huge Bombers fan (pretty strange I know), and he pretty much guaranteed me that they would finish ahead of the Stampeders. haha, bombers suck!!!

I wouldn't exactly be mad if the esks tanked it and finished in fourth in the west. It certainly would be a much easier route to the grey cup than going through the west. Best chance we have ever had for an all western grey cup.

Calgarian · #**250** Posted **Sep 8, 2008, 10:05 PM**

It's a pretty strange rule that would allow that scenario.

Blue Bombers trade Tom Canada to Tiger-Cats

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers shakeup continues, as Tom Canada’s days with the club are over.

The struggling fifth-year defensive end is contemplating his football future after the Bombers tried to trade him to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats this morning.

“As far as I understand, I’m no longer part of the Winnipeg Football Club,” Canada told the Sun. “Now I’m just trying to figure out whether I just hang up my cleats or go to Hamilton.”

It’s unclear what the Bombers would get in return for Canada, but it’s believed Ticats middle linebacker Zeke Moreno is part of the deal.

Canada said he had received several calls from Ticat boosters today. They are trying to convince him to come to Steeltown.

No way! BC is going to finish 4th. It's going to be Riders-Als playing in the Grey Cup.

Pretty strong words coming from a fan of a team who isn't exactly dominating their own division.

If the Stamps even make it to the semi-finals, they'll be washed away.

6-4 is a lot better than 2-8 genius. Winnipeg is completely useless while Calgary, BC and Edmonton are all in a dog fight for second in the west, sadly Sask will probably win the division, though I doubt they will make it to the grey cup.

Only The Lonely.. · #**257** Posted **Sep 9, 2008, 12:34 AM**

Is anybody willing to trade their team for the Bombers?

C'mon people, a steal of a deal. The 2007 East Champs could be all yours.

I take great comfort in next season when it will be Calgary that will be completely useless while Winnipeg will be in 1st or 2nd in the east.

Tell yourself what you have to...

Oh please. Do you think teams that are either tanking or kicking ass do so every season? You would have to be pretty wet behind the ears to believe that.

The Bombers went from being at the bottom several years ago to being at the top last year to being closer to the bottom this year. Next year we will be near the top once again.

Winning-losing cycles are dynamic.
