Blue Bombers Blog

I heard Coach Berry say recently he’d rather be 0-9 in the first half of the schedule and then 9-9 at the end of the year so he had momentum going into the playoffs. I hope he wasn’t foreshadowing something he saw or felt about the first half of the year. Or indicating the time it would take for this team to get together. The fans and management will go nuts if we see a bad first half. Let’s take a look at the Bomber regular season schedule.

Fri. June 16- away vs. Montreal

Fri. June 23- at home vs. Toronto (will Ricky sell some tickets? Most likely)

Sat. July 1- at home vs. Edmonton

Sat. July 8-away vs Toronto

Sat. July 15-home vs Montreal

Thurs. July 20 away at Edmonton (who made this schedule. a 6 year old-the same 3 teams in the first six games)
Fri. July 28 away at Hamilton

Fri. Aug. 4 home vs Hamilton
Thursday Aug 10 home vs B.C. (so B.C. once and all other games against Montreal, Edmonton, Toronto and Hamilton in the first half of the season)
