Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions
one wednesday will always be required because of the 9 teams, one team must do the wed/sun double game week Ah. I simply assumed the Wednesday game was the result of TFC telling the Argos to get stuffed, and that was the only night they could play. But looking at the schedule, I see it's required. ...

Re: Why I Love the CFL
I agree with those that say the CFL is a more exciting game than the NFL. IMO it starts with 3 downs. Teams are forced to go for it. Cannot 'waste' a down. This mindset opens up the game. Then there is the field. Wider. Longer. More room to move. Can a football fan ask for more than they see with r...

Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions
If Thursday works for certain markets, then great. BC Place is a ghost town on Thursdays (though Friday/Saturday haven't exactly been all that better).
I guess it's really hard to say which nights work best when Braley/Skulsky don't have a marketing plan.

Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions
And just my $0.02, I'd love to see the CFL move to having a double header FNF and Saturday nights in the summer and then Saturday afternoons in the fall. Unfortunately, TSN will continue having them play 7 days a week I'm sure. That's the one thing I do not like about the CFL is that you never know ...

Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions
I go down for Washington Huskies games every year, and they get started at 6am. At the very least, the Lions should have this open for 2.5 hours prior to kickoff. Do the Huskies still play on campus at Husky Stadium? Several years ago the tailgating had to start early because once you were in the s...

Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions
Unbeknownst to me, there's now a beer garden included with the Nissan Tailgate Party, and has been for a couple years now. I also notice that it's only open for AN HOUR AND 15 MINUTES?! :hmm: If the Lions would like to try and foster some sort of pre-game tradition, hurrying people through a beer ga...

Re: 2016 All Things Lions Marketing & Promotions
When are you guys going to realize that this is not going to change Vancouver Montreal and Toronto are getting to big for the cfl. Just look at across the street we want the best here in any sport and the CFL is not the best . I am convinced that the cfl would be better in the small markets like th...

Re: Vernon Adams Maybe a BC Lion?
I hope he gets a fair shot to not only make this team, but also be a contributor to it. My worry is he'll do well in pre-season but then Wally will have him warming the bench unless Jennings or Lulay get hurt. Don't ya think it's a little pre-mature to be thinking this guy is going to beat out Jenn...

Re: New BC Lions Jersey for 2016
I already commented in the poll question thread, but I like them overall. I was hoping for something akin to the 70s retro jerseys, and orange with black numbers does that. Just wish the shoulders were orange as well and they had some white outline on the numbers. Don't like the straight black on or...

Re: Uniform Poll Question - Reebok or Adidas?
They should have taken the 70s retro jersey, switch the piping on the sleeves from white to black. That would have been purrfect. I don't hate the new home jersey, just wish they outlined the numbers with white or silver. Straight black on orange doesn't look that great. Love the black pants and hel...

Re: CFL coaching carousel
So, we're resorting to Khari as OC, keeping Washington as DC and likely going to a plan B or C for our STC. This team is going to be a dumpster fire, and Wally has no one to blame but himself. Well, Braley and Skulks deserve blame too.

Re: CFL coaching carousel
Khari Jones should be fired, not being talked about to take over as OC again. Tedford will end up in the NCAA. He's too big a name down there not get a job. He won't necessarily go to a Power 5 contender, but plenty of other decent size programs would take him. Fresno State a possibility according t...

Re: Wally HC/ GM Again
Like many others I have very mixed feeling about today's development. Ideally I would have liked Tedford return with FULL authority to make changes as he deemed necessary. The problem I have with Buono returning to the sidelines is that we might be facing the exact same situation as we find ourselv...

Re: KCU Vanier Cup Preview - UBC v. Montreal
The only thing that wasn't all that good was the attendance of 12,557 at Telus Stadium at Laval University. CIS made a huge mistake by not keeping the partnership with the CFL and having the game at the Grey Cup site. The 2011 and 2012 Vanier Cups brought in attendance and TV numbers which they can...
