Brian, you are a good man. Actions, not words, are what reveal our character, and yours is being shown to everyone right now. :thup:

Brain injury is a very complex area, as there is so much that medical science doesn't know yet. Recoveries don't always follow a straight line, and it is very difficult for doctors to predict outcomes at these early stages. These next couple of weeks will be critical, so I'll join all of our fellow CFL fans in saying a prayer for Ritch.

You go Ritch! Brian, what a true inspiration and a great friend you are. Pass on my best wishes to Ritch when you see him next. I remember him being a regular on many boards and wish him all the best. He and his family are in my prayers. Tell him everyone expects him at the opening home game!!!!

Seeing as nobody other than brian is able to see Ritch at this time a bunch of us will be gathering for a few beer at the pub the attack happened at. Ya I know it's a gay bar but it is a way for us to get together and send Ritch some Karma. If you can't be tolerant and accepting it's better that you don't show up however if you can make it the more the merrier

here is a link to the pubs website http://www.thefountainheadpub.com/ the address is 1025 Davie Street

Friday will be 2 weeks after the incident, there is also a PPV Canuck game at 6 which would have us in the same pub exactly 2 weeks after the attack. I dunno the lord works in mysterious ways maybe this can help.

Wear some Lions or CFL gear so we can recognise each other

who's in?

Hey Guys,

I'm in (great idea, D!).

Probably closer to 6:30 or 7:00 but I'll definitely be there.

Cheers,
Dave
