Wally Buono seeks out his first win of the season as the Lions travel to Winnipeg to take on the rejuvenated Blue Bombers, a team which has surprised more than a few CFL fans this season with their success thus far.
The Blue however have things other than football on their minds this week, as they are in mourning over the passing of their popular defensive coach Richard Harris, the long time CFL coach was found in his office at Canad Inn stadium having succumbed to a heart attack.
Needless to say his passing has affected the Bombers and owing to the nature of the CFL his death also has been felt by many other players across the league.
The emotional toll of the news of the week will provide an additional challenge for the Bombers, who found much of their success through the season so far on the strength of the Harris defence, it will be with their coach on their minds that the Blue take to the field on Thursday night.
