Great point about Cottoy, Clash Dance. I am not sure about "unsung" (JJ Adams just did a big piece on him in today's Province), but I do believe he's under-utilized. Size, strength and great hands. Want to see more of him in the offense!

BC Lions Player Awards at the 1/2 way point
With 9 games in the books, here are my Player Nominees (offensive lineman and special teams would be unanimous selections, hence there are no 'runners-up'). MOP : Mathieu Betts - has cooled lately but has been given more attention by D coordinators. Still on a deadly sack pace (20). A true disruptor...

Re: Lions vs. Stamps Aug. 12, 2023
Maybe, it's because of the dominant performance, but I tell you, love the weekend 4PM start times. I live well out in the Valley. Drive in and home had very little traffic, and was home early enough to watch a movie with the wife. Noticed something going on at Roger's Arena as we left and thinking ...

Re: logo/helmet history
The one on the left looks legit. Their colour scheme was burnt orange and brown.

Re: Lions at Bombers Aug. 3, 2023
Oh yea, does Campbell realize that he CAN throw a challenge flag? There are no bonus points for keeping it in your pocket at the end of the game. Good grief. Our players literally have to be mugged before he will consider it. Was it not foolish to run out the clock after Williams' long return in the...

Re: Lions at Bombers Aug. 3, 2023
Problem areas as I see them: * Weak protection. Oline really hasn't been the same since the last Winnipeg game and we're not finding enough chunk plays/deep balls. Peirson way under-sized and we're not opening enough running lanes for our backs. We may have to go with 3 Imports and put Greene in at ...

Re: Lions vs. Elks July 29, 2023
Never had a problem with Wally Buono as a manager of men. Creating a winning environment and culture. Always good at suspecting a player's "best before" date and staying one step ahead. Very few mistakes there. In-game managing was always a different issue. Lots of conservative blunders. R...

Re: Lions vs. Elks July 29, 2023
If I were the Elks, I would have turfed McAdoo and Jarious and hired Paul LaPolice as OC and QB coach.
I don't think much of Lapo as a head coach, but he is a very skilled OC.

Re: Lions vs. Elks July 29, 2023
I wouldn’t draw that conclusion. I would expect them to use Mizzell quite liberally this afternoon. They have a capable back-up in Mackie. What I would like to see is Terry Williams used more in certain receiving packages. He was one of our most effective pass catchers in training camp/preseason. DH...

Re: Lions open upper deck for Saskatchewan game
Lions finally reported yesterday's gate. 23,902. This has to be considered a disappointment given it's the Riders, the "we're now selling seats in the upper bowl" hype earlier in the week and all of the (comparatively) cheap tickets available. As B.C.FAN mentioned, football is a really tou...

Re: Lions vs. Riders July 22, 2023
I am a little concerned that 2 of the 3 home games this year have been duds. Over-officiated, under-executed clunkers (with the 2 biggest gates, too. Figures. :roll: ). This is not to take away from the defense of course, and that much-improved punt/kick cover units, but people (especially casuals a...

Re: Lions open upper deck for Saskatchewan game
4:00pm is probably a blessing this weekend David. Doesn't the Festival of Light fireworks thing go tomorrow night? Yes, absolutely right Hambone. I recall in past years the Leos have gone head-to-head with the fireworks. And Molson Indy. Disaster. The Blue Jays at Mariners Saturday will likely cost...
