Hamilton at Winnipeg Game Thread Friday, August 23, 2024

Game starts in about two hours.

Current temp 27 but 33 with the humidex. Actually not bad as expected to be higher on the weekend. Wind shouldn’t be a factor at 9 km/h currently.

Game is sold out- 33,000 plus.

I always hope for a good game, but I’m not above being happy with a one sided victory for the Bombers. I don’t necessarily expect that will happen. Ticats usually play the Bombers tough and seem to upset them once every year the last few years when they have been given little chance.

I’m ready for Friday Night football!

Due to the preseason disaster on the high seas to sink the Diablo Macho as you all remember so well,
I’ll have to follow the game tracker and try to catch a game watch feed on YouTube again with the crew tonight.

I wonder what that John “Shoe” Lu has in store for his wizardry tonight for the Bombers. I bet he’s conjuring something up for that Command Centre for home cooking too, for he’s cagey and sneaky good like that too you know.

But Lu has been off and on with those spells upon the Bombers for the home games all season.

Keep yar eye on him, arrrggh.

How many forget, damn thar meddlin’ kids these days, that Merlin was a Bombers fan in his day too you know.

Just caught a matinee of the new Alien flick. I hope tonight my Cats don’t have the same fate as the movie’s cast. :rofl:

There was a conversation about this topic earlier today, go figure, but the commenter opted for old aliens, not to be confused with ancient aliens of course.

It all got really scary from there as usual when @Maaax activates Beaver Mode, but prudence and sanity did prevail this time.

…I can hear now “25 or 6 to 4” playing right when that happens …

Let’s just hope they enjoy themselves and return home safely, but after eating a Popeyes spicy chicken sandwich, I feel very strongly that they should stop for a chicken sandwich or donairs on the way home.

You can’t do anything with Chicago involved and not involve hearty food. It’s just wrong, and it should also be a crime.

I can confirm that it’s definitely hot and sweaty in the concourse. Great night for football!

I hope for you and your friends that the locals had good and proper personal hygiene in the pre-game too then.

Wow. The Bombers’ Mowing Crew is out with the pre-cut session early tonight.

I’ve seen a few shoves from the crew aboard already, but Captain Timbers just looked over to tell them to knock it off because it’s too early.
