July 12, 2017

Introduction Greetings! Sorry for the repeat of the opening song but I thought it was good enough to deserve a second listen. So last week was hailed as a measuring stick game for the Bombers. A chance to prove that they could compete with the most consistent and successful team in the CFL for […]

July 12, 2017

Leaving from the City of Kenora Manitoba Central, Thursday evening trail Just one car and just 3 restless riders Hope that this day, the Bombers just won’t fail All along the westbound odyssey, the car flies by East Braintree And rolls along past houses farms and fields Passing lakes that have no name, a […]

Game Day (Sung to the tune – Downtown by Petula Clark) When you’re alone and life is making you lonely To IGF you go – Game Day When you’ve got worries, all the Bombers will hurry Seems to help, I know – Game Day Head out to the stadium, still seems new and still looks […]
