Re: Concert Kick-Off for June 15 opener to be announced Monday!

Checking today and since yesterday they've opened up the top 5 rows of the upper deck at the far end opposite the stage along with 2 more sections in the upper deck above the stage. Everything except the sections between the 422 & 433 aisles has been opened up. Those 11 sections amount to roughl...

Re: Training camp 2024

Per CFL.ca transactions BC has released American OL Amari Catchings and Jacky Chen. That brings them down to 11 OL in camp and 72 players total. The 72 includes non-counters who at this point with camp wrapped up and final cuts due Saturday might as well be considered counters.

Re: Concert Kick-Off for June 15 opener to be announced Monday!

The club has just announced that, due to demand, the Upper Bowl is now open for the home opener on June 15. :thup: DH :cool: Quite a few tickets sold in the upper deck today looking at Ticketmaster. Unlike the Whitecaps - no premium pricing just extra value (whether you like rap or not). Tickets ar...

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

Hambone, I confused Henry with now gone Carey who moved onto the Argos. Maybe Mizzell could be moved positionally as he can't do "smoke" in a BC run scheme as it's designed for the Stanback type of ball carrier who can get to the second level and take on LBs, DBs. That is where this guy g...

Re: All things Media/Marketing 2024

It's good to get airtime on the market leading station, but the 30-minute postgame show is a major disappointment. Last year, by the time I got out of the underground parking lot next to B.C. Place and got radio reception, Moj and Giulio were signing off their postgame show. There's then no footbal...

Re: All things Media/Marketing 2025

Excellent news!

I do chuckle at the AM part. It sounds so old school. I have a vintage 1937 floor model radio I had refurbished and restored. Only problem is it's capable of picking up AM, short wave and other bands, but not FM. Up here in PG the last AM station disappeared 20 years ago.

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

Impressive National depth theoretically at RT for the Elks as Hunter Stewart starts ahead of Shane Richards tomorrow with Brett Boyko not dressing. All high picks in their draft years. Odds are good one works out. Credit to Geroy for his work. I got a bit jaded on that idea having quantity = qualit...

Re: CFL News re: TC's 2024- Not BC Lions

Argos sign kick returner Janarion Grant. Turns out he goes off the grid in winter but how in the bleep did it take this long to sign him. Bombers claim they had no financial room. Yah, he fumbled at times but overall he's a great returner. https://winnipegsun.com/sports/football/cfl/winnipeg-bluebo...

Re: Training camp 2024

I think VA doing short yardage is not just gambling on short yardage but gambling on your starter's health. Not a wise decision. If you haven't a back up able to run short yardage and you have little to no creativity on how you run, put Stanback at QB. As it is these teams don't all use QBs on FGs ...

Re: Training camp 2024

Tiquan Mizzell might be just as much a casualty of the run schemes as he is by guys who showed better in TC and Stanback's signing suggesting he's the preferred back for the limited run package BC employs. The astute observation from Hambone and BC Fan etc seems to be that Brice has shown and grown...

With only two days left in training camp, the Lions have announced the signing American defensive lineman Demetrius Taylor, who spent time on the practice roster of the Detroit Lions. https://www.bclions.com/2024/05/28/lions-add-american-defensive-lineman-demetrius-taylor/ Whoa!

Re: Lions' receivers

Lucky didn't have a great season last year but I thought an opportunity to at least show in TC that he still had it would have been a good look, especially for a fan favourite. OTOH no other team has shown interest. Rhymes is a puzzler as didn't Campbell also have Rhymes as a player in Ottawa? Perh...

Re: Concert Kick-Off for June 15 opener to be announced Monday!

And they go rap/hip hop for the 2nd straight year with 50cent who performed as part of the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show with Dr Dre at SoFi Stadium. Sure looks like Doman is targeting Millennials and you can’t blame him given it’s a key demographic in the Lions rebuilding effort. I totally support...

Re: Training camp 2024

Interesting decision on Prukop given short yardage was the only reason Davis was on the team last year. Perhaps they now realize he was more a beneficiary of the Bombers' outstanding o-line than his ability. Of our remaining 3 QBs VA is probably the best athletic option. Maybe he just handles it th...
