Re: Lions 39 - Eskimos 19 Post Game Stats and Comments

Took my gang of ten and sat in first two rows os the top deck at the 30YL, great vantage point, although with so many empty seats up there you kinda feel out of the crowd. Letting the esks hang around in the middle part of the game was worrisome but Joseph was simply terrible down the stretch and ou...

I got section 412 Row A... love the front row! Could this be a Grey Cup preview?

Re: good article on bc lions attendance

I got my fall boys football night out happeneing this Friday. We got 10 (discounted!) tickets together in the upper bowl/30YL at $93 each. We are a bunch of middle aged guys that can afford it but we still gasp at the total cost of this night out when you add the cost of dinner etc. With the high co...

Re: Harris vs. Cornish For Top Canadian

Excellent chart, you could be coach material... or maybe GM material! My vote goes for the guy on the team with the most wins. Cornish the local boy is hard to hate though.

Re: Is it Just Me?

At full speed they do often look offside but with an HD PVR you can pause-frame advance and although its often very close, its hard to call. I think its because at full speed the eye picks up the ball after its passed through the centre's legs and at that point the receivers are a good step over the...

I think that first half was about the best half I've ever seen a Lions QB play, and I've seen a few! Harris... :cheer:

Re: Lions @ Riders, Game Day Thread, September 29

Brutal play calling, underusing Harris, 2nd and 3 and we throw a 25 yd pass, etc. I knew one day these slow starts would bite us in the butt.

Re: Bombers No Help

This topic has seriously gone off the rails, no point in trying to rescue it now. Someone mentioned checkouts. Since you are my kind of people (Lions fans) and grocery shopping is one of the most mundane chores we do (except when you are hungry, then its just costly), I’ll share my tips on having a ...

Re: Bombers No Help

OK, you are correct, pet peeve vented and accepted. I'm just sayin' it like the announcers, "Yak yards", using a K for phonetics, instead of the proper written word. I haven't heard an announcer say a receiver had plenty of yac (k) on that play... maybe because it could be confused for tra...

Re: Bombers No Help

Yeah and it gets back to my original point about over-coaching (or playing to not lose) and why they would risk their job. Coaches have to put faith in the players, in this case a makeable 42 yard FG. I feel the same when O-team is near midfield with a few seconds left in the 2nd qtr and they take t...

Bombers No Help

I find it amazing that a coach is willing to possibly risk his job and make a bonehead call by choosing to punt from 43 yards. If he goes for the FG, misses and loses the game... no head rolling. Instead he decides to take responsibility, play ultra conservative by not letting his 86% kicker take a ...

Re: Riders 23 - Lions 20 Post Game Stats and Comments

Full marks to Sask for playing virtually mistake free but no question this should have been a Leo win. 2 missed FGs = 13 point swing. Did anyone notice the blatant block from the rear on the TD return? It happened at the goal line. Man if they make that call, the game's in the bag.

Re: Gas/Property Tax Whining

This is where you are not a know-it-all and showing your typical Canadian, bend over and take it again attitude. Yeah we live in a great place and yeah our house prices are high (great if you own one, but do you have kids?). This is the attitude so many BCers have when it comes to over taxation and ...

Re: Gas/Property Tax Whining

We need to look at spending too... do we need to build the most expensive LRT system in the world? As an independent sales agent, I find Vancouver is almost taxing me out of business. My personal expenses last year were $22,000 and a lot of it was the essential cost of running of a vehicle. Politici...
