Re: So what's the verdict on the alternate unis?
That is a mean, nasty, intimidating uniform. It'll be tough going back to the Creamsicle/A&W look.

Re: What made you become a B.C. Lions fan?
Howdy David,
1963. I was 8 years old. Joined the Quarterback Club at Woodward's in New Westminster. My Dad had a seasons ticket on the 35 yard line. I was relegated to the end zone. I witnessed my first Kapp to Fleming long bomb and I was hooked. I've been wearing a #15 jersey ever since.

Re: It's Official Ottawa back in 2014
It'll be great to have them back. Being a traditionalist I still like the Rough Riders name and R logo. Besides, it's fun to pi$$ off the Wheaties. At one time they were considering the name River Kings. I like the name as it reflects Ottawa's history and the R logo can still be used. Still, I'm jus...

12 Angry Men! Brilliant, David. Smothers Brothers, also brilliant. How 'bout a nod to Bobby "Boris" Pickett?

Re: Why did so many Lions fans give Roy Dewalt a hard time?
Great receivers, yes. But without Roy throwing the ball, we don't get the cup. We weren't even supposed to be there in '83. Joe Barnes picked us apart in the second half. Give Dewalt his due.

Re: Why did so many Lions fans give Roy Dewald a hard time?
Hey...He helped us to a Grey Cup! I always appreciated Roy. Great arm. Good at finding his secondary receivers.
Let's face it, no matter who the starter is some fans are going to b*%ch. Everybody loves the backup.

Re: new uniforms in 2012?
If the Lions could wear any combo of these three uniforms for home, away, and 3rds - and keep them this way - I could die a happy man. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c302/oceanvista/82_1-1.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c302/oceanvista/Jarious.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c302/oc...

Re: A bon Jack (1950-2011)
I had met Jack on many occasions. He was the same guy in person as the guy on The Hill, an infectious optimist that gave one hope.
I'm a big fan of his politics and have the health card to prove it. Like T.C. Douglas, he will be missed.
Best wishes to his many friends & family.

Re: Introduce yourselves
Hi Folks. I registered with the Lionbackers many years ago. I just never got around to introducing myself. I visit here often to get the news on my beloved Leos and the views from those knowledgeable folks that hang around on this site. I really enjoy and appreciate your opinions. I go by the monike...

Re: 2012 Uniforms
I would hope we'd go with the 60's colours, Black lid & jersey with white pants, "burnt" orange trim. Black pants on the road. Most of our logos have been pretty good. I hate the 80's and current Creamsicle/A&W uniforms. They're right down there with some of the old Canuck & Hu...

Re: 2011 Canadian federal election
Just to keep things clear. The Harper government is not the P.C. party. These folks are not the Tories of old. Progressive was thrown out in name as well as policy. Conservative they are. Progressive? Nope.
