....So I was just wondering what kind of beer is going to be sold at the game? The kind you actually drink ....as opposed to the stuff you're used to, which gets thrown at the other team's bench. :tease: Actually, for Rider fans, we serve up a special brew. It's the kind you drown your sorrows in. ...

So the Riders are preparing as if it's going to be rainy and quiet at Empire Field on Saturday. That's too bad. :devil: From Darian Durant, "With them not playing indoors, it takes away from some of their crowd noise. But whoever goes out there, if you're not playing well, the crowd will get lo...

I wasn't at the preseason tilt, but I suspect it is going to be loud. In one of the preseason post-game interviews Brent Johnson made a comment about it being difficult for them to communicate on defence, so I hope noise doesn't prove a detriment. But we've got to get the place rocking as soon as p...

When was the last time the Lions looked THIS good?? Yes, it's early, and yes it's only one win, but all in all, we couldn't have hoped for a better result than what the Lions delivered today. Solid peformances by the O and D lines, great running by Jamal Robertson, and a purrfect game by Paul McCal...

38 entries are in. 90 minutes to go.

Mode (or most common prediction) is a tie between 10-8 and 11-7 (9 each). Median points for (tiebreaker) is 492 points.

if you really want to get confused, check out the depth chart in the Province today. Nice to see Foley, Miles, Toney and Glatt all back as starters on the D. And nice to see Ryan Phillips as a starting SB on the O Normally LU and the crew are spot on, but that was ridiculous. :thdn: Their Sports Ed...

* With the inexperience on our O-line, I am glad Jamal Robertson is our running back as he is superior blocking back - better than we've seen here in some time (with the possible exception of Joe Smith). :good: * I hope to see us throw the short pass early to build Casey's confidence. My own read on...

In case you missed the sticky on this subject, we are closing the "Guess The Lions' Win-Loss" contest at 4:00pm (July 4), so get your entry in! I just need your prediction for the Leos' total regular season wins this season, as well as a tie-breaker guess for total points for. We have a to...

“The biggest adjustment [from guard to tackle] is just the angles,” said Hameister-Ries, whose main sport at Strathcona High in Edmonton was basketball until he decided to go out for football in his final year. “Your pass sets are different. The footwork is different. The technique is different. It...

Wow. Was Winnipeg that good or Hamilton that bad? I couldn't believe how utterly listless the Ti-Cats looked. No adjustments, no running game, poor tackling, blown assignments, and a right tackle in Simeon Rottier who seemed to come to battle armed only with a red cape. And did no one pre-scout Buck...

More to the point for the casual American observer, why exclude the team from country's 3rd most populous province, and one that has banked a huge amount of brand awareness and goodwill from the Winter Olympics? Makes no sense.

Anyone else at least mildly concerned about the return game for Sunday? Hell, Wally even admitted after the 2nd preseason game that it wasn't good enough. Yet in the two week period in between games, he didn't audition anyone else?? :dizzy: Granted, I only saw Jordan once so I could be selling him s...

Not...a...single...Lions...game. :bang: I guess we're chopped liver. :dizzy: Perhaps a team that the league doesn't expect to see much from. Well I guess you guys have something in common then. :tease: I won't bug you too much. I recall that you and LU of The Province correctly predicted a mediocre...

8 - 10, thankful for the two games vs the Argos. You forgot the "points for" component, Rammer. Mind you, with THAT prediction, I hardly think the tiebreaker will be necessary. :tease: Interesting too, that you have 8-10 in this thread and 9-9 in another. I think if we wait another day, w...
