Lions 19th consecutive year in the playoffs. Surprised a lot of people that they made the playoffs in a rebuild year. My heart says the Lions but my mind says Stampeder will win. UBC were prohibitive underdogs against the favoured Calgary Dinos but the T-Birds pulled off a massive upset this afternoon. Would be nice if another Vancouver team does it again tomorrow
Right, the UBC Thunderbirds upset the undefeated 8-0 University of Calgary Dinosaurs 34-26 in Calgary today to win the Hardy Cup and advance to the semi-finals. Let this be a prelude of the professional level between the same cities tomorrow.TheLionKing wrote:UBC were prohibitive underdogs against the favoured Calgary Dinos but the T-Birds pulled off a massive upset this afternoon.

Semi-final for the UBC will be at StFx next Saturday, even though UBC had a better regular season record of 6-2 compared to the 5-3 StFx. It looks like the two semifinal bowl venues, Mitchell and Uteck, is determined on a pre-determined, rotational basis instead of the team with the better regular season.

祝加拿大加式足球聯賽不列颠哥伦比亚卑詩雄獅隊今年贏格雷杯冠軍。此外祝溫哥華加人隊贏總統獎座·卡雲斯·甘保杯·史丹利盃。還每年祝溫哥華白頭浪隊贏美國足球大联盟杯。不要忘記每年祝溫哥華巨人贏西部冰球聯盟冠軍。
改建後的卑詩體育館於二十十一年九月三十日重新對外開放，首場體育活動為同日舉行的加拿大足球聯賽賽事，由主場的卑詩雄獅隊以三十三比二十四擊敗愛民頓愛斯基摩人隊。
祝你龍年行大運。
恭喜西雅图海鹰直到第四十八屆超級盃最終四十三比八大勝曾拿下兩次超級盃冠軍的丹佛野馬拿下隊史第一個超級盃冠軍。

The B.C. starters are all back for this game, after nine of them were rested last week and several others were pulled in the first quarter.
I like the way the Lions match up against the Stamps on offence and defence, especially the B.C. passing attack against the Calgary secondary. On special teams, Chris Rainey had his best game against the Stamps when the Lions were in Calgary in the regular season.
One stat: In all six games that Jonathon Jennings started, the Lions have led in the fourth quarter. Calgary's record is just 1-3 when trailing after three quarters. The Lions just need to play their usual game for three quarters and finish in the fourth quarter.
I'm optimistic about the Lions' chances and hopeful that they eliminate costly mistakes that have been their trademark. Whatever happens, I know they'll give it their best effort

Unfortunately Mark Washington has a tendency to play a prevent defence when they're leading allowing teams to mount a comeback.One stat: In all six games that Jonathon Jennings started, the Lions have led in the fourth quarter.

If the lions come into with game thinking and fearing to be beat...then they might as well mail it inTheLionKing wrote:Unfortunately Mark Washington has a tendency to play a prevent defence when they're leading allowing teams to mount a comeback.One stat: In all six games that Jonathon Jennings started, the Lions have led in the fourth quarter.

It all depends on how much the lions want this
If the game plan is sound and not vanilla, the BC lions can make the western final...ROAR!!!

3 man rush already
Acc to 1040 BC won the coin toss and deferred. I think Cgy elected to receive and BC took the wind in the longer Q2.TheLionKing wrote:BC going into the wind in the 1st quarter
BC will prob take the wind in Q4 as well which means we'll prob see BC kick off both halves.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Stamps first on the board with a punt rouge to make it 1-0 Cgy.
