Pretty tough to not like the message that he's going with.

*shudder*Coach Hall reminds me of Marcel BellefeuilleLook. We can go round and round about this all the live long day. Let's keep it simple. I embody amazement. Can you dig on that? Good. Then meet me on the corner of rock and roll, and bring a flask of something that burns. -
Re: Chris Schultz weighs in with Eskimo thoughts
Hall is MUCH better at his specialty (defense) than Marcel has ever been at his "specialty". In fact it is your previous head coach who most reminds me of MB. A "offensive mind" with no mind for offense.Originally posted by Inquiring Mind View PostComment

Re: Chris Schultz weighs in with Eskimo thoughts
I always like to see Schultz's columns...one of the best CFL writers out there. Agree a lot with what he's saying.
Not to say WPG is going to be a pushover or anything, but if we can use the opener to cohere a bunch as a team and run up a fairly solid win, then I think things will get easier as we go through.
The rest of July is a tough stretch - if we can get out of that playing fairly well and snag a couple of wins, then I think we ought to be able to run through the rest of the year at a decent pace.We're cheering Fight Fight Fight On Eskimos...Comment

My favourite line...
Could you imagine if the Eskimos beat the Stampeders to play in the 97th Grey Cup in Calgary? I can!

Re: Chris Schultz weighs in with Eskimo thoughts
Shultz consistently delivers some of the best CFL related articles going. This is no exception, and I too enjoy the optimism he seems to have for the Esks this season.
Sportsbook at Caesar's has us down as 5 to 1 on a futures bet......haven't checked Bowman's odds in a while, but the changes we've made this off-season have not gone unnoticed.

Re: Chris Schultz weighs in with Eskimo thoughts
I got $110 on them when the odds were 6.5 to 1. Bowmans has them at 4.5 to 1 now.Comment

Re: Chris Schultz weighs in with Eskimo thoughts
Personally, I think Schultz is a brutal analyst. And my comments are not based on this article, just my opinion of him in general.Last edited by Rider TD; 06-02-2009, 10:59 AM.Comment

Re: Chris Schultz weighs in with Eskimo thoughts
I see you changed your post from:Originally posted by Rider TD View Post
Perhaps you realized that what you were saying did not make sense.....?Originally posted by Rider TDWhy are guys jacked that Schultz is claiming that the Eskimos will be the crossover team in 2009...last place in the west again??
Regardless....I know you're just trying to make fun, but as far as I know in CFL history there has never been another "last place finisher" in their division with a 10 win season. So that distinction really doesn't mean much when others try and talk smack. We had two years in the toilet, and have bounced back. Afterall, we were still playing in the division finals while you guys got your home playoff game to get whupped by the Leos.
That said; this year is a whole new deal, and while it is premature to boast on who may or may not do what....I feel our team is definitely on the upslope while the Riders and Leos are on the way down. In a nutshell, I like our chances.....and we'll see who winds up in the basement this year.
It's also funny to me that there used to be a lot of talk from jack-mouthed fans around the league that speculated that Eskimos fans wouldn't show up if our team hit the skids. I suppose it was a way for them to try and make excuses for their own fans only bringing in minute numbers when their teams were bad.....of course even through these last 3 years Eskimo fans still lead the league in attendance. The correlation between support and the teams play has not wavered near the degree as it has in some of the other places where they like to brag up supporting their team through thick and thin.
....but I digress, whatever your opinion of Shultz (because he never picks the Riders as winners, and then when he does you lose), he continues to be perhaps in most fans eyes one of the most informed and even keeled analysts in our game. Certainly not because of this article, but for a real decent body of work. I haven't agreed with everything he has put out, but his consistancy at putting out fair and honest opinions is arguably unmatched.Before you insult a man, walk a mile in his shoes.
