Uh oh....since LEO will have an ally, then Gopher will need some help too. Maybe he will bring some allies too in the form of:

祝加拿大加式足球聯賽不列颠哥伦比亚卑詩雄獅隊今年贏格雷杯冠軍。此外祝溫哥華加人隊贏總統獎座·卡雲斯·甘保杯·史丹利盃。還每年祝溫哥華白頭浪隊贏美國足球大联盟杯。不要忘記每年祝溫哥華巨人贏西部冰球聯盟冠軍。
改建後的卑詩體育館於二十十一年九月三十日重新對外開放,首場體育活動為同日舉行的加拿大足球聯賽賽事,由主場的卑詩雄獅隊以三十三比二十四擊敗愛民頓愛斯基摩人隊。
祝你蛇年行大運。
恭喜西雅图海鹰直到第四十八屆超級盃最終四十三比八大勝曾拿下兩次超級盃冠軍的丹佛野馬拿下隊史第一個超級盃冠軍。

Gainer didn't seem effective at all as he just stood by the Roughriders bench for most of the game. And too bad the Trailblazers didn't show up.

This topic was discussed extensively last year. Now that the Lions will be meeting the Roughriders yet again, I wonder if Gainer will make an appearance again this year.

And I wonder if these girls (and guys :wink: ) will also come to BC Place as they did not for the WDF in 2004 and 2006.

No. This is Vancouver. This is BC Place. It's our house and we invite the guests and the 'Rider mascot and cheerleaders are NOT welcome.

More spirit to the game IMHO, can't have enough of it when there are 55+K in the Dome.

All in good fun as Leo should have an onversized bazooka like gun to his arsenal for gopher hunting.
Entertainment value = an all time low

Gotta like the Gopher in. Bad karma otherwise. Plus Gainer will have no impact on the loud Lions crowd.

Yeah, except they got our wins-loss-tie totals wrong. 13-5?!?!? And it was written yesterday, after the semi-final.

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't we 14-3-1? Baaahahahaha!! I guess 13 isn't as far away from their season record as 14 is.

Heheh.. Brings up a mental image of Gainer, laid on his back, with Leo standing with one foot on Gainer's chest, Leo pounding his own chest, and growling stright up into the air. Of course, we'd have to use that canned noise we're famous for, so that everyone would get to hear Leo roar.

Now what would be really cool, would be to get all the Lions' fans to "growl" when they see Leo pounding his chest, "growling". Wouldn't mean anything, wouldn't do anything to the 'Riders team, but damn, it would be a cool thing to get arranged. OK, the Gainer on the ground thing probably wouldn't happen either, but hey, we get Leo onto the field, centre-stage, and when he pounds his chest, we ALL growl.

Ahhh, right. Sorry, was just reading the issue date. Didn't notice the disclamer before the article. Just went straight into the article.

Frankly, I'm surprised that that old RL-P article is still available for free viewing — and from a year-old link, no less.

Robbie, bless his heart, is well known among lb.com regulars for his tendency to resurrect old threads. I could include some links here of other examples where he's done this, but that's more his thing, too. :lol:
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Funny how current the old thread still is... anyone feel like photoshopping Kent Austin into a bridesmaid's dress? :lol:
