I remember the trade, but those names elude me, even though I'm sure I'd recognise at least one of them; I'd have to look it up.

7. 1995 Season Opener, BC/Baltimore (Winning TD with 15 seconds left. I got the BC Lions Team of Destiny video that night.) Saw that one on TV when I was living in Victoria. BC led the whole way until about 3 mins left, when highly touted rookie Chris Wright (who sadly was murdered a year ago) scor...

4. 1999: during the Greg Mohns era, it didn't matter if the Lions were good, bad or indifferent -- there was seldom a dull moment, on or off the field. One of the more bizarre on-field incidents: Wally Buono, still coaching the Stampeders at the time, is ejected for contacting/arguing with an offic...

There was a game played here sometime between '95 - '98 against Hamilton. We scored like, 3 touchdowns in the final 2 minutes to sneak out a victory. It was one of the Leos' biggest comebacks in their history. It didn't impact their season or anything, but I just remember thinking "Wow. This i...

Another one of my personal favourites is the OT win against Edmonton in 2004. I sat in the end-zone that was under the replay screen and the fans were amazing. A streaker ran onto the field and bent, ever so slightly, the FG post in our end-zone and the rest, as they say, is history. Was that the s...

A few corrections to make: Kent Austin's 1st qtr int that gets returned for a TD. That play occurred with 5:39 remaining in the second quarter. Hmm, he threw three picks in that half, right? I must be getting mixed up with an earlier one that wasn't returned all the way. Tom Europe's recovery of a ...

It's funny how attitudes have changed when it comes to going on the field at the ends of games. I remember this being a common occurance when the Lions played at Empire Stadium. In fact, my first close-up look at artificial turf occured at the end of a game sometime during the 1970 season. As a kid...

Ah, not-so-sweet memories. The aftermath of the '94 Grey Cup Game will forever be remembered as Vancouver paranoia at its worst. Not only was there no Grey Cup presentation on the field, leaving 55,000 people with a weird sense of emptiness after such a moment of elation, but outside the stadium it...

Of course I was disappointed that there was no onfield trophy presentation, but since it was less than six months after the Stanley Cup riot, the officials couldn't take any chances of trapping the players in the midst of a similar incident, what with so many fans spilling onto the field. As for the...

This night will be remembered by many of the faithful on here, myself included, for what happened immediately afterward: one of the most ill-informed, idiotic ramblings in the history of sports talk radio What was it??? Some nitwit gave a "sports" talk radio slot on CKNW to another nitwit...

The Lions' next home game against the Eskimos represents a personal milestone for me. It will be the 100th football game (reg season/playoff/Grey Cup -- I don't count preseasons) I will have seen at BC Place. That roster includes the 1994 Grey Cup, two reg season games from 1995, and then everything...

I think it was called the Dixon trophy. I remember seeing video/photos of it in 1994 when Baltimore won it. Is that Carl Coulter? And since this is from 1998, you can file it under "bad luck to touch/parade/celebrate excessively the conference trophy". I'm sure there are plenty of photos o...

There are also simultaneous Remembrance Day ceremonies taking place at several Vancouver parks, including Stanley Park's Japanese Memorial (west of Aquarium), Memorial Park South, and Grandview Park Cenotaph. UBC also has a ceremony every year in the War Memorial Gymnasium building, which I attende...

Does anybody know why the CFL does not have pictures of the Division Championship trophies on their website? I'd really like to know. Thanks!!! That issue was brought up last year. No, the CFL does not have any information on the Division Championship Trophies, be it the new or old ones. I still do...
