Re: Honest expansion

The inside scoop I'm hearing is a 20 year plan of growth to 16 teams that focusses on the following cities: All Population figures are from 2006 Victoria - Metro Area 330,000 Kelowna - 360,000 (Inc. Kamloops, Penticton, Vernon & Merritt) Saskatoon - Metro area 257,000 (Regina Metro Area Pop is ...

Re: ST Prices 2011?

$1150 for renewal? That's something like a $300 jump from last year! That's crazy, especially if we won't be in the stadium until the fall. I won't pay that type of money for Empire seats that sucked so bad that I had to watch the screen to see the game.

Finally, the realization that we need a new OC is coming to the forefront...about time.

Re: Calgary or Sask. in the West Final

I can never cheer for the team that knocks the Leos out of contention, even if I didn't expect them to win.

In the East...Go Als!

Re: Lions 23 - TiCats 21, Post Game Stats and Comments

Yes, we won, and I have to admit I am surprised. But, we won in spite of Chap, not because of. Our offence STILL couldn't get the ball in to the endzone on a regular basis. Way too many two and outs, way to many dumps to Robertson that went for 1 or 2 if we were lucky. Yes, Robertson got a couple of...

Re: Lions 23 - Riders 17 Post Game Stats and Comments

OK, because you asked: The Lions have scored 131 points off turnovers for the season, third in the league behind Calgary (151) Montreal (135). In the second half of the season, the Lions have scored 88 points off turnovers, second to Hamilton (94). Here is a ranking of points scored in the past nin...

Totally stupid reason.
No, the stupid thing is supporting a system that is so obviously broken.

Re: Lions 23 - Riders 17 Post Game Stats and Comments

Yeah pennw, one player gets canned, and the ' slight ' turnaround is proof he was a problem? Give me a break. More likely, they're all afraid of losing their jobs so they are working a bit harder. How long is that going to last? Couple weeks...maybe? The offense is still pathetic. 1 TD and a couple ...

One year is it. If it can't be done in one season, than the coaches are screwing up, picking the wrong players.

Re: Lions 23 - Riders 17 Post Game Stats and Comments

What worries me, if we do make the playoffs, following a stronger second half of the season, is that there will not be any changes to the coaching staff and we really need change on offence. So you would rather that we don't make the playoffs so you can hopefully, selfishly get some changes that yo...

Re: Lions 23 - Riders 17 Post Game Stats and Comments

Just to put this comment into perspective... IF the Lions don't blow that huge lead in Winnipeg, and IF the referees don't blow the play in OT against Edmonton dead early, the Lions would be sitting tied for 2nd place with Saskatchewan right now. Yup... and that is with out Casey Printers too . :te...

Re: Lions 23 - Riders 17 Post Game Stats and Comments

Was watching the game on PVR...then my TV crapped out on me so I went and bought a new one, nice 60" LCD. Now, to the game. Defense played well overall, a few breakdowns, like the TD to Getzlaf, and the TD at the end of the game. Special teams again played very well. Davis, well, what can you s...

Re: Casey Printers has ACL surgery

Pauser is right, they are exactly the same things the anti-CP crowd says about the other QB. So in a word, I call BS on the anti-group. They simply can't stand CP for whatever reasons they have (many of which are probably quite legitimate), but can't get over it. Lulay, Pierce, Jackson do the same t...
