Re: Eric Guthrie - The Canadian Rifle

I remember Eric as a Punter, more than a QB.

Looks like he had one season in '76 as a starter QB.

RIP

Dane Evans Retires

I appreciate what he did for B.C. and wish him the best in his coaching aspirations.

Re: Leos/Bombers West Final Keys to the Game

Sigh. I now look forward to seeing Mizzell run up to a Winnipeg defender, alternate lifting his left and right cleats four times, then falling to the ground with the defender on top of him. 12 carries, 12 yards. You read it here first.

Re: Leos/Bombers West Final Keys to the Game

In cold weather in Winterpeg, I can not see Fullback David Mackie doing any worse than Mizell or Hardy. Coaches, huh?

Onside Punt for First Down

I was not aware of the CFL rule that a player can "punt" or more accurately foot dribble the ball forward one yard, fall on it, and be awarded a First Down, as the team had "relinquished" possession of the ball and then recovered it. The Alouettes' Antwi did it on the weekend. Pe...

Chase Brice and Dom does not create great confidence in me. Let's hope VA has a healthy, safe game.

Re: Lions at Elks Sept. 22, 2023

I do not know why the OC have forgotten what David Mackie did last summer in relief against the Argos. He reminded me of a big strong fullback who could get the job done. I am not insinuating he could be as good as these two, but surely the coaches should review that game tape just one more time? Ji...

Re: Ottawa @ BC Sept 16, 2023

One thing that is really griping me is kick returns. Williams is almost last in the league in kick return average. Every return consists of him fielding the ball, running straight upfield, getting stuffed. Take away his one long return of 62 yards and he would have a 21.7 yard average. I can't recal...

Lions vs. Elks July 29, 2023

I for one am glad that Dane Evans can step in as the starter for this game. Dom Davis as backup.

I was not aware (or had forgotten) that Dane is of Indigenous background.

Perhaps the Leos should emphasize this more.

Re: Lions at Bombers June 22, 2023

Oliviera and Schoen are firecrackers on offence, so that could be a good thing for the Leos.

Re: Throwback Thursday

I am reminded of how cool the brain works, in that when I read the name J.P. McConnell, I could immediately hear his voice in my mind.

Tommy Larscheid is another example.

Now, if I only I could remember where I put the car keys . . .

We have not heard anything about Tanya Walter since the hoop-la back in February(?). Anybody have any data on how things are working out for her and the Leos?

Re: Elks vs. Lions Aug. 6, 2022

High TV ratings, TSN crushing, CFL big brass hugging: all very good reasons to NOT keep the fresh face QB in play when he is not needed (they were NOT trying for an impossible passing record). All it takes is one bad tackle or awkward fall, and the ratings will drop, the panel will moan, and the big...
