Official BC at Calgary Game Day Thread - July 28
Moderator: Team Captains
BC has started the season at 4-0. Do you remember the last two times they started off the season with this record? Of course, I'm sure we all remember 2005 when they started off the season at 11-0. But prior to that, I believe it was 20 years ago when the Lions started at 4-0 before dropping a close fifth game. Let's see if the Lions can start off the season with five straight wins. Chat away.

It would be a nice win to be sure, in one of division rivals stadiums along with seperating us by 2 games from the nearest Western opponent. If Buck plays the game without injury, we will have a good shot at this one. Otherwise I suspect that the OL isn't playing well enough and neither QB will get enough time, nor will our running game be producing. Alot rests on our OL, they are finally going to be accountable for a victory, moreso than the D today, IMO.
Entertainment value = an all time low
I will just agree with this statement and forget about ragging on the team for once

Why isn't the pregame show being broadcast on team1040.ca? I'm hearing ESPN Radio on the team1040 online player. Huh?
Just checked and I hear Rick Ball on the pregame show...??Lions4ever wrote:Why isn't the pregame show being broadcast on team1040.ca? I'm hearing ESPN Radio on the team1040 online player. Huh?

Just got a phone call from the Red and White room in Calgary.
The Lions are pumped and they (from the coach all the way down) want this one really bad!!

Now that I don't live in Quesnel do I need to change my handle??
1040 audio is a good 4-5 sec ahead of CBC. The play is nearly over on the radio before the snap on tv.
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.

CBC is lousy today. Just watched the Edm/Sask blowout and had great picture clarity and everything. Now all the players have little ghosts and some angles look out of focus. Not to mention sometimes the talk seems to be behind the picture (ie I am watching an old dubbed Japanese movie).
And why oh why do we get saddled with armitage??? Rod Black this morning and now Armitage. Talk about a poor day for football announcing.

Looks like they delayed the radio a little to match the tv better after the 1st ad break. Still 1/2 sec or so ahead.

That loss of down on the Murphy major foul was the right call. Same thing happened last night in the Wpg/Ham game.
