great game. great victory. was fun bc place still has some concession issues.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

lol more "only in the CFL" wackiness

And finally, there was the behind-the-scenes goofiness just before game time, when a malfunction with the yardsticks mandated a quick and no doubt panicky trip to a local high school to find replacements, complete with police escort

Considering it was two Western teams (geographically), those are some pretty impressive numbers.

so much for southern ontario being disinterested in the cfl

could it be that they are only disinterested in the Argos

They need to find a QB (hello Henry Burris) to inject some life into that barely breathing franchise.

thought it was a little bush for them to announce Milanovich is their new head coach ... not so much that it was gonna take away from the grey cup game ... more so, that it got buried by the Grey Cup game

u would think the team in the biggest market in the league would have wanted a day for themselves and perhaps at least try to sell some tickets ... yes I know the name Scott Milanovich doesnt sell tickets but it is a good news story to show some hope to fans.

/also the rumour is that Braley will sell the Lions very soon

also the rumour is that Braley will sell the Lions very soon

I heard that and word is a group headed by Dennis Skulsky are the frontrunners...

/Burris for Ron Fellows - Stamps need help on the defensive line.

From Dave Naylor (TSN):

Parting shot from Swaggerville: Hefney Tweets Lions are "an average team" with "some of the softest players in the league."

"Soft" is a word to describe your coverage on Kierre Johnson on that 61 yard TD bomb, Mr. Hefney.

kinda funny to say after they lose the Grey Cup.... hmmmm

 

[puckhead]

watched the game this morning. Punters seemed to have their problems in a closed building.
It sure was easy to dislike that douchebag on the Bombers, Alex Suber. taunts Arland Bruce on a mid-field pass in the first quarter, all up in McCallum's face after a long kick hits the upright. Fuck you asshole, you were losing the entire game. you have no room to chirp.

also, watched some of the half time show.... jumpin' jesus on a pogo stick - could you imagine watching a full 90 minute or two hour Nickelback concert? :shudder:


Odell Willis sure could have changed the game early in the 4th.

also, w00t!!
