Last year, our blue and bold celebrated it's 80th anniversary. Training Camp for the Bombers is about to get underway, and many of the new bombers will arrive soon....One of the returning bombers is someone who has been picked to lead the team back to success...There are high expectations for a healthy Buck Pierce...Buck is also the face of an organization, that is reaching out to rural Manitoba, and after a pizza lunch with Buck and Obie Kahn yesterday, he explained how he's got to know our province....

 

 

Buck and Obie Kahn fielded a bunch of questions about the team, and their hopes and dreams for the upcoming season, but for me, one of the highlights of the day, was later when the guys were leaving, they bumped into an enthusiastic Saskatchewan Roughrider fan.  They agreed to pose with Bill, the Special Olympian, who was thrilled to pieces to meet some players from his "number two" team.  Oh, We are also thrilled to be partners with the Bombers in 2011, with all the games to broadcast on CJRB Radio 1220
