Re: Lions reach a 2-year radio deal with TSN1040

So this means Rintoul removes the interim part of his PBP title? We've been lucky to have had Rick Ball and Scott as pxp callers in this market. Need I remind you of the voice that came before them on another station at another time who actually had NW promo him as a "hall of fame broadcaster&...

Re: Canadian Quarterbacks

Toppy, I agree. What a waste of time and shame on the Lions for not living up to the spirit of the development rule. But it is not surprising. Hambone, O'Connor is not going anywhere. He has a great situation in Vancouver with the Thunderbirds. It will a pleasure watching him play five years here w...

Re: Preseason game June 19 at Thunderbird Stadium

I just noticed that there will be a 5k/10k charity foot race at UBC campus the same evening as the Lions game, with Thunderbird Stadium being inside the perimeter of the race course. The race doesn't start until the scheduled 7pm kickoff time for the Lions, but fans attending the game should probab...

Re: Canadian Quarterbacks

If O'Connor is at the Lions TC is it right that he actually won't play? Just watch? If so, that's a dumb way to get experience. I think if O'Connor has any thoughts about transferring back to NCAA ball then he has to tread very lightly with this internship. Stepping onto the field to practice in a ...

Re: Krown Countdown U - May edition

We did that in years two and three, David. I'm glad you brought it up, as we'll think of incorporating it again.

Re: Krown Countdown U - May edition

I turned it off after a minute. Can't stand the idiot who thinks he's another comedian. Our average viewing time is 13:10, which is pretty damned good in the internet world. Too bad you missed out on the information. https://youtu.be/yNySmeDGexo?t=1m14s That starts the show after someone tries to b...

#Northern8

This is all over the other CFL boards... So I'm hoping you'll join in on this. The Northern 8 is a plan to have the best teams in Canadian college football play each other in a game-of-the-week on national TV. Here is a video: http://youtu.be/LyH97oENKsc?list=UUeV7-ZspxriltEkrTHqZU6g Here is some ba...

January - Krown Countdown U



Of particular interest to local fans, a good interview with UBC head coach Blake Nill. A lot of money and resources flying around the point these days.
