The Crimpy Ascent up Brokebuck Mountain
- Mike A.
Hoo boy. Well kids, the very sad day we have been putting off has arrived. The moment we have been trying not to consider since the early days of training camp has finally put a brick through our window and if you have been listening to the smart people, you know that the 2011 Winnipeg Blue Bomber season is quite possibly teetering on the edge, staring down into the eternal abyss....

The PacNu Report - Week #14
The Pacman went 2-2 last week, to bring him to a season total of 25-24…just keeping his head above .500.
This week, Pac likes the Bombers to cover those +6.5 points against Montreal.
He likes BC to cover those -5.5 points at home against Edmonton.
Pacnation is hoping Calgary can cover those -5.5 points against the Riders.
Hamilton on the road to cover -4.5 against Tdot.

by H.F. Salisbury In the great tradition of recognizing “Cactus” Jack Wells and the Happy Honker Award given out on C-Job radio here in Winnipeg, I present for you yet another installment of the Happy Crappy Honker Award given to an individual(s) for a fantastic unforgivable performance directly related to the continued floundering of our once beloved Winnipeg Blue Bombers. This award is handed...
(Deep) Inside the Argos Live at Rogers Mausoleum
-Mike Alexander
Toronto really is an oddity as far as the Universe is concerned. Nice people I know live there and do well, so I don’t really want to include them in this rant that is as fair as it is balanced. Believe me, I’ve pored over the numbers late into the night over many moons and I was gob smacked when I discovered the absolute truth of the matter: Toronto has a bit of a complex about...

The Rest of the Season Starts in Montreal
Mike A.
Four Bombers missed the plane to Montreal this week and I completely blew my deadline for Game day as well. Here at the Ashburn Compound I am just going to angrily hammer on the keyboard until kickoff. I have a policy of trying to get these entries into the hands of our loyal readership by the opening whistle and I am afraid that much like these four amateur hour goofballs who couldn’t...

BC to cover in Calgary.
Montreal to cover at home over the Blue and Gold.

The Numbers Never Lie - Banjo Bowl
vs
By Professor Kelly
Hello Angry Bomber Fans! This week is the Banjo Bowl. Winnipeg will look to avenge their 27-7 loss to their bitter rivals the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Let’s recap the Labour Day game.
Buck Pierce was 20 for 28 with a completion percentage of 71.4, through for 209 yards, no touchdowns or interceptions. He ran 4 times for 19 yards and 1 lost fumble. Alex Brink replaced...
Clean Up the Mess You Made of Me
Mike A.
I can recall writing cutesy little cliché-ridden garbage about “the calm before the storm” when waking up early and having to cobble together a few disjointed and hopefully coherent words prior to game time last year for the ABF blog. And maybe some of it came from an honest place. As harsh a transition as it is, I enjoy summer turning to fall. The way that the sun is angled in the sky...

The PacNu Report - Week #11
Ouch, it was a rough, humbling week for our favourite degenerate, as The Pac Attack went a BRUTAL 0-4. Pac knows how the Blue & Gold felt last week after getting destroyed at Mosiac field last Sunday. After a red- hot start, this brings him to 19-18 for the season. Let’s hope he bounces back for week 11.
Pac likes Edmonton and is taking the +2.5 points against Calgary.
With Lemon out...

You Sure Got a Purty Mouf a.k.a. The Labour Day...
Mike A.
It’s hard to talk about the product that the 2011 Saskatchewan Roughriders have fielded week after week without collapsing in fits of uncontrollable laughter. And when I say laughter, I mean a loud, rude and totally inappropriate shrill booming sound that fills an entire room. Imagine if the food court staff from Taco Time assembled a squad and stepped in to replace the Riders while the...

The PacNu Report - Week #10

On Sunday, it’s not surprise, the “King of Ties”is once again picking the tie in the Winnipeg game. Paid off last week.
Montreal over Hamilton for the Proline win.
Calgary over Edmonton in the final game of the...

The Numbers Never Lie
Our youngest writer, Professor Kelly, is back after getting lost in the bush and missing his deadline last game. We also noticed that the Sun has a game day feature called The Numbers Game, so we changed the name of his column so they didn’t sue the poor Professor.
