Konichiwa Bomber fans!!

I am in Japan and listen to the Bomber games all the time! Weekend mornings live on CJOB.

I must say that I never listened to CJOB when I was in the 'Peg but I love the coverge now. It's not the best but it is traditon and that's what Winnerpeg is all about.

What do you think?

Also, how can I get some Bomber games? Grey Cup? Anything??

Lastly, I went to a pub in Kobe and they had all the CFL team flags up on the walls. It was awesome!!! No games though...

...confession time... I don't listen to all the Bomber games... I listen to all the CFL games!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Drives my wife nuts (she's Japanese).

Thanks for reading :slight_smile:

Somebody said the Bombers where named after the Blue 'somethings'
I thought it was a nickname borrowed from Labatt's Blue....

I tell all my friends that the Bombers were named after a beer. They love it!!!

Cheers!

Go Bombers!!!

East side sucks!!!

I don’t know abou the TV in japan, if I go there, I’m going to check that out.

The Blue Bombers got there name from the famous boxser ?Jimmy? “Brown Bomber” Louis (whom the Cleveland Browns are rumored to be named after). When the club was fromed in 1930, they were the “Pegs” and then they played a game agist the Univerty of North Dakota (which they won) and the commentator who was calling the game doubt them “the “Blue Bombers” of Football” and the nickname became the offical name afterwards. and the rest is history.

Lastly, I went to a pub in Kobe and they had all the CFL team flags up on the walls. It was awesome!!! No games though…

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS PLACE? I WANT TO GO TO IT!!! :shock: :smiley:

Good to know that someone in Japan is a Bomber fan. To bad some of the people in the Peg don't see that we DO have potential we just need to release it.
