Re: Sammy Greene

I just noticed that in the game above, you can hear the echoes when there was a field goal attempt. *boom*

Just wanted to mention it for any non-BC fans here who think that BC Place used to pump crowd noise over the speakers.

Re: Sammy Greene

Another bump by me because of YouTube! Edmonton Eskimos vs BC Lions, Sep 25, 1983. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbmeoGQPyZI (There is another recording uploaded by a different user some years ago, but the game was undated.) I was too young to really remember (or know) much about these games and p...

Re: Division Finals/108th Grey Cup

Two exciting games, in my opinion. Too bad SSK lost (yes, I really said that). I thought SSK should have gone with a running play, near the very end of the game. Oh well, let's go Ti-Cats! I was hoping Alouettes would have faced the Blue Bombers, and then Khari Jones could employ the strategy Don Ma...

Re: CFL took down my YouTube channel

For sure it was copyright material (TV recordings0, either CFL or TSN's. Had they asked me to take them down, I would have. But as it is, there were a lot of games that are gone. Sure, you may get the odd edited regular season game rebroadcast, but most of the games I've uploaded won't be. Anyways, ...

CFL took down my YouTube channel

In case anyone out there was following my channel, I had uploaded my recordings of the Lions, mostly from 2004 onwards. Old-timers here will remember me trading DVDs back in the day. This year, I finally got fibre optics internet, with it's great upload speed, and was uploading non-Lions games, as w...

Re: 2000 Team bonding leads to Grey Cup Win

BC played great against Edmonton and Calgary. Those were two amazing games. I really have no idea why I didn't bother recording those games. Lucky that someone else did!

Re: Greatest Hockey Game Ever

I believe he (Hawerchuk) actually trailed a defender coming back and hooked him to give the guys ahead some space. Would have probably gotten a penalty in today's game. Heh heh, yeah, I was going to bring that up. You can catch a glimpse of the USSR guy going down on the far left of the screen. I w...

Re: Shutdown of XFL Could Be Permanent

In-game player/coach interviews? Not a fan. I prefer how TSN does it now by getting player/coach thoughts at half-time and not bugging them during the game. They used to interview players during a game a long time ago, usually after they've scored or made a big play, both on TV and radio/CKNW. I th...

Re: Sammy Greene

I was watching the final regular season game of 1983 on YouTube (it was against the Ottawa Rough Riders, not the Roughriders): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqUc_ybyIrc and they mentioned Sammy Greene no longer being with the team a couple of times. Curiosity led me here :-D . The original link to...

Re: Toronto at B.C. Oct. 5, 2019 - Game Day Thread

Burnham had his toe out on his almost-a-TD tonight (Oct 18 vs SSK), but it's affirmation that the guy can catch it with one hand. They made the correct call above.

Re: Toronto at B.C. Oct. 5, 2019 - Game Day Thread

That wasn't a TD, awesome catch but not a TD The guys on TSN TV agreed with you and it would be true if you believe that Burnham didn't gain control until he curled his arm and secured the ball to his chest. However I believe he made a one handed catch at which point his foot was in bounds. The Com...

Re: Dollarama has a few Lions flags....

In case anyone is still interested ... :). Saw a flag on a stick, and there's also just a regular flag at the Seymour Dollarama. Same price of $2.50. There's about 10 of the regular flags, and maybe 6 of the stick ones. The stick ones are something like 18" x 12". http://imageshack.us/a/im...

Re: Anyone record the Grey Cup 2011 game?

Thanks. I wondered about TSN or the CFL selling a digital download. While I understand there's probably not a huge demand for a DVD/BD, a digital download would cost them next to nothing to offer. Regarding the PVR, it may have to be re-recorded to another external device, via composite cables. My f...
