Re: Border Wars and End Zones

Fun book for CFL fans to read!!
I'll never forget that 1994 GC.. Lions v. Baltimore -- us against.. THEM!!
And the chapter about it makes buying to book worthwhile in itself.. though the whole package is excellent CFL reading.
If you haven't picked one up??
Put it on your "Santa List" ASAP.

Re: 2013 CFL Trading Cards

I know we're all a little uh, 'pissed'.. at the way the Lions season ended. Head Coach and coaching staff hiring will certainly be VERY interesting!! But, on the subject of trading cards.. the 2014 Upper Deck set really got me interested again in collecting CFL cards. I know there's the usual UD &qu...

Re: Rick Ball Moving to Calgary...

The signing of Rick Ball to do the Calgary Flames games on Sportsnet is a tremendous upgrade, no matter who they get to do colour!! Last year's SN TV duo of Rob Kerr (play-by-play) and Charlie Simmer (colour) was in a word.. "horrific"!! Welcum to "Cowtown" Rick.. hope they find ...

Re: Leos/Riders Post Game Stats and Comments

Very disappointing finish to a good football game!! Really missed Solly in the middle -- didn't even know he was hurting (here in 'Cowtown' we didn't get a lot on the Leos!) He's in there and DD doesn't run (as?) "wild"!! I agree that while J-R Larose is undoubtedly a good 'soldier' and a ...

2013 CFL Trading Cards

You guys/gals notice the lack of CFL trading cards this year? Me too!!! Checked into it and the League struck a deal (supposedly) w/Upper Deck for the 2013 season and in the process forbade Jogo, CFLPA and others from producing cards/sets. Jogo has put out a small "former players/what doing now...

Re: Garage sale goodies.

Awesome stuff Bob!!!!! If memory serves -- and my wife always suggests it was the 2nd thing to.. uh, "go" ((lol)) -- didn't the 1961 programs come with the perforated player photos in them?? And were they included in the bound set you got?? Sure hope so!! So far as 1960 goes, the pics were...

Re: Lions Mini Helmets @ SaveOn Foods...

Much like BCFC Fan, because Save On Foods isn't in Calgary (and probably wouldn't be carrying Lions stuff in Stampeder Country if it was?).. I E-mailed them and they sent me a helmet set in the mail.
Very nice of them to do so.
Now the Leos better get their 'act' together!!!!

Re: Is it Time to Bring Tim Brown Back?

Like most of you, I've been disappointed by Korey Williams methodology.. if that's the right term. Agree the holes haven't been huge but Williams seems to have no idea what he's doing and has doubled back and lost yards way more times (it seems?) than he's gained anything. Noticed Benevides really i...

Re: Has anyone seen one before...

Yeah, that kind of stuff is supposed to be destroyed (or shipped to some impoverished country if it's wearable clothing) I have a 2004 Calgary Flames Stanley Cup Championship car flag (that somehow leaked out)!! Remember the Flames could have won it here in Calgary in Game 6.. didn't. Nor did they w...

Re: Canada Post

Re: Two new BC Lions memorabilia books just released!

Hey '56 Parkies, You may be the answer to my conundrum?? I have three of JW's Lions books: the original "Thrown to the Lions" (2000) purchased from the author. As well as the updated "Thrown to.." w/Toppy Vann on cover and a Collecting B.C. Lions - Vol.2. The last two were purcha...

Re: Introduce yourselves

Hi guys.. and gals!! Grew up in Revelstoke B. C. and remember as a kid going up in the mountains where the radio reception was better to listen to Jim Robson/Jim Cox and others call the Leos games. Collected lotsa cool stuff as a kid that step-mommy tossed out while I was off at UBC. Have been re-bu...
