BANJO BOWL Game Thread- Saturday September 9th, 2023

Most anticipated game of the year, sure to draw the biggest viewership numbers. Saskatchewan outplayed Winnipeg last week but there’s no better team at bouncing back like the Bombers.

Even so, I’m expecting another razor close game with the Bombers pulling away in the 4th

I don’t expect I’ll be commenting during the game as I’ll be in attendance and, as usual, too involved to pay attention to my phone.
Enjoy a spirited discussion, I’ll see you after the Bombers have declared victory.
GO BLUE!

Yeah, just saw him. He be smilin’ man! Too late for an autograph, the line was cut off right in front of us.
Maybe we’ll see him at fan appreciation day tomorrow.

I hope this game is better than the Als/Argos tilt.

I think it will be much more competitive with 2 hungry teams wanting to stay at or near the top of the West.

Anything is better than watching the boatmen row over everyone! Hamilton just a game behind the larks now although they’d have to win two more games than the larks to overtake them since they have won the season series against the 'Cats.

I expect that the upcoming game will be more entertaining!

All this talk about the Banjo Bowl “history”. An a**hole idiot kicker said something extremely derogatory to a reporter and some local businessman ran with it.

As far as I’m concerned, the name is just as, if not more, offensive than “Eskimos”

Ah where’s your sense of fun? :laughing: Besides Banjo Bowl is a far more creative name than “Labour Day Rematch”.

Maybe has something to do with who they’re playing? :wink:

Tough game to call. Jim Barker thinks its a must win for the Bombers. Stegall laughed hysterically at the assertion.
What it is is a test. A test of Bombers strength in West. If Riders roll over them again (last week’s OT score really flattered the Bombers, all they led in was discipline)
IT will deflate the Bomber energy especially with 2nd game starter Dolegala the Gunslinger starts. No Pete Robertson on defense, either.
Craig Dick will try to capitalize on special teams (bombers are pretty useless) and have Jake D. dissect Bombers secondary which usually floats in gap floating zones.
