lol. That show plays fast and loose with continuity. One episode they were talking about the NFL and a two point conversion which wasn't adopted by the league til the mid 90's.

Saw this last night as well.
I checked a bunch of threads and did not see this mentioned so I started a thread.
I did not check out this thread.
I think Murray Goldberg would be a great replacement for Dennis Beyak or Paul Edmonds for doing PBP. He's a good yeller. I could listen to him yell all day.

That last sentence makes it seem like he goes for which of his two former teams is better
Nice to hear though, it's cool that we're even in the conversation
Can you imagine the scandal had he said Toronto?That last sentence makes it seem like he goes for which of his two former teams is better

Did the scary upper deck downhill many times with a beer in both hands

The upper deck was my second home in University.
$11.00 student tickets, those were the days.

Sadly, I could barely afford those when I first moved to Winnipeg in 1993 to attend Red River College, I think it may have been more like $15 though for student upper deck tickets. I did manage to get to a few games though before the student loans would run out mid-term

They started at $11.00 my first year of Uni and rose to $15.00 by the end.......crazy.Sadly, I could barely afford those when I first moved to Winnipeg in 1993 to attend Red River College, I think it may have been more like $15 though for student upper deck tickets.

Now I am happier than a pig in shit to pay 3 times that for my P7 upper deck season ticket per game. How things change
I can remember complaining that beer was 3.25-3.50 and tonight I'll be paying 10.50 and not complaining a bit. (actually, I bought the tickets so my better half is buying the beer tonight...she's worried). No Mount Everest to climb with the beer tonight though.
I don't believe in jinxes so I gotta say, I don't go to many games but I have yet to see the Jets 2.0 lose.

Oh man those graphics and transitions.......hilarious!!
Not to mention those sweet CBC blazers!
In case anyone is interested, there's some neat WHA Jets photos in the new Winnipeg Tribune online archive at UofM; accessible here: Winnipeg Tribune : Photograph Search : Archives & Special Collections : Libraries : University of Manitoba
Here's a nice one showing the steepness of the upper deck at the old Winnipeg Arena. Smoke 'em if you got 'em!

Excellent view of about 2/3 of the ice from there lol. I remember my first Jets game I attended in 1991, I was a tad disappointed with my view from up there. I also saw more than few people stumble carrying beer and hot dogs.
Those upper deck seats were kinda terrifying during a concert. I can recall a couple of concerts (Guns n' Rose in 1993 and AC-DC in 1997) that I sat in the uppers and it felt like the upper decks would collapse due to everyone rockin' out and it shaking and vibrating.
