It's the second last game of the season just like Hamilton last year, I think :s

This post is by far the most entertaining thing I've seen tonight. Thanks, I needed it.
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.

Yes, and that dumb kick is some of the silly thinking from MB.

He is coach of the year. He doesn't need to get too cute or arrogant. Get back to basics.

Lions don't use Harris - very weird. Very dumb. But hey saving him maybe?

Re: Game Day Thread- Stamps vs. Lions

sometimes there is no explaination.
sometimes *poop* just happens
sometimes in the big picture, it doesnt mean anything.

better now than post season I say.

The only thing I feel bad about is MR. Was really hoping to see him at his best. Then again, if he totally sucks today, maybe that helps us keep him in the future, who knows :cr:

I wonder if the Bombers and the Esks are still interested in Reilly :wink: :wink:

Complete no show. Starts with a horrendous effort by the o-line. Why the hell is Valli playing centre? Reilly's stock dropping faster than RIM shares.

Re: Game Day Thread- Stamps vs. Lions

You think Hufnagel didn't tell his team about BC arrogance this past week. MB needs to be coach of the year and not talk like this as his team believes it:


"Plug 'n' play" is a cute, alliterative term used by head coach Mike Benevides to describe one of the most telling aspects of the B.C. Lions. It describes the roster depth that separates a potentially great team from a merely good one.

"We have 16 to 17 guys from which to choose on defence," he said. "We can throw any combination at an opposing team. The beautiful part is, this game is all about tendencies and scouting, from a coach's perspective. But how do you scout our defence? It makes it tough."

Harris is frustrated. They're taking procedure penalties or making other mistakes every time they try to get him the ball.

Angus Reid has been playing with a sore leg the past few weeks. Lions resting him.

Re: Game Day Thread- Stamps vs. Lions

Well from a personal standpoint it could be worse. I'm doing some contract work down in the Kootenays and am stying in Fernie only 3 hours drive away which for me is a short trip to see the Leos. Made what turned out to be a wise decision, mostly weather forecast induced, to skip the game and work through the weekend.
