    Wow

    Apologies in advance, as this forum came up all read for this poster - after about 6 tries to log on.

    Remove it if applicable ...

    Quickly!

    Where's the pride of being an 'Eskimo fan?

    I ask that question after spending the last 2 days in the 'Chuk ... in the West Edmonton Mall, in between watching my 6 year old son marvel at roller coasters/amazing sea creatures/KidTropolis (his favourite) - and 12 year old drug dealers/freaky deaky goth peeps and lots of other strange sights.

    I've heard (wearing my Roughrider alumni jacket which invites CFL discussion) ...

    Mobley's the problem, of that there's no doubt!

    This whole coaching staff should be hung for the playoff loss, this will not be tolerated!

    Ray sucks!

    Why don't we run any deep patterns?

    The O-Line's fine, it's the QB - Maas sucks!

    Maas is a cancer!

    Reasonable debate didn't prevail for this CFL fan, they're all convinced of an implosion.

    Here's the best (or worst, to be honest) ...

    Him: "You cheer for the 'Riders?"

    Me: "Yep"

    Him: "I wish I knew where Danny M lived, I'd do that manure thing to him."

    Me: "Ummm, that was complete garbage and a stain on the whole league, and mostly my teams' fans ... "

    Him: "I'd throw it on ... (the rest doesn't need to be repeated, at all) ... ."

    His buddy (they were both mid 30's) looks at me, and says: " He'd do it, seriously, he'd (edited big time) bloody well do it!"

    WTF?

    You peeps (I'm talking to 'Eskimo nation, not only this board, as I know at least 7 peeps that lurk and never post, personally) need to settle down, just a little bit.

    Your team plays tommorow (so does mine, prior to it, actually).

    Both are underdogs.

    They WILL give it every bit of possible effort imaginable.

    Blood will pour.

    Cheers.

    Shows how much attention those people pay to the CFL, eh? (clarification: most CFL fans in this town don't hang out at WEM ). Must be purely hockey fans.

    On here, we're still a bit concerned about last week's equivalent-to-a-blowout ...but the prevailing attitude, I think, is that the Esks will come out extra-fired-up tomorrow because of it .



    "Mobley's the problem..." WOW. Was that one of the 12-yr-old drug dealers who was sampling his own goods at the time?

      In a city close to 1,000,000 there are a huge amount who just do not follow sports...period...

      of those that do...another huge chunk don't follow closely enough to name five players from either the Eskimos or the Oilers, what they do know is what they glean from reading an occasional article in the paper on their way to the sunshine girl or on a 10 second clip on one of the sports networks....

      Then there are the others, like the ones who post here or other fan sites (but not exclusively of course - there are tons who do not) who could have a reasonable discussion about not just their own team, but other teams as well. We certainly aren't as easy to find just walking around West Edmonton Mall...nor would I guess any other normal public place here or in Calgary, or Regina...

      That's why these sites exist.

        In my opinion, someone who feels that way about the team is not a fan, how could you be, they don't deserve to be.

        A true fan to the team is with the team whether you win or lose, the rest are just wannabes.

          We would get back at you for that by doing a survey in a mall in Saskatchewan but we just can't find one!

            Don't be getting all high and mighty... I know you've been around Regina after the Riders have stunk out the joint.... those sort of comment should make you feel right at home!

            Enjoy watching your spandex clad men GB!
            Look. 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.

              IMO those people are bandwagon fans.. they'll be cheering and happy when the Esks win, but when they lose they'll spout off like the know everything.. Those type of fans do not follow the game nor understand what other things happen that could be causing , for example "ray to suck". All they do is regurgitate the things they hear, and draw their own clueless conclusions. I shoudl know I have 2 of those type of people in my family - my mother and grandmother..

                The comments GB heard at WEM remind me of the stupid fan rant thing that they print in the Journal sports section from time to time.

                  It's in today and two-thirds are blasting the Esks. Will be higher next week if they don't win. Now win!

                    I'm not all high and mighty, rf.com goes all chicken little after a win sometimes (see last week).

                    It was just more a general observation of attitudes, the one about McCallum was brutal, from a dude that held seasons (according to himself anyways). It just ticked me off, so I posted it - it was probably more intended for the lurkers out there though.

                    I asked most I talked to if they posted here/13th, whatever - and a few knew myself, but had never posted themselves.

                    Good luck today, 'Eskimo Nation - don't let the highs get too high, nor the lows too low.

                    I'll now go back to rf.com and try to post that same advice ...
