I watched McCallum get cheap-shoted by what looked like 2 Stamps near the Lions' bench (it happened so fast that I didn't get their numbers. It definitely wasn't Pilon as they were two African-American players who hit him and walked away). He appeared to get "blocked" from behind. Problem ...

Okay, I take back all of the nice things I said about Higgins. Did anyone catch the noon hour sports on 'NW? He was popping off about Wally being "too loud" and in your face, and that this team walks around with a strut (the subtext being an "arrogance") that he thinks is unneces...

What now?!?

I hate to look too far ahead but ...... what do you do if you're the Lions? What happens if Jarious would like to re-sign here and Dave decides to give it another year? This much is certain. Jarious is looking more and more comfortable behind center and is emerging as a real leader whom the players ...

Tom Higgins is all class

I can't speak much about Tom Higgins's coaching abilities (I suspect he's more of a manager of his team with some good coaches around him than a true tactician), but make no mistake. He's a hell of a nice guy. I've heard him before in interviews and he's always come across as a gracious guest and, r...

But I agree it shouldn't matter with the way this team is entertaining if you're on the fence. I find it hard to believe that the Lions wouldn't see an attendance spike for their next home game after their thrilling come-from-behind victory. Then again, that lovely 33 yard dart on 3rd down into the...

Well if DD does decide to hang them up before the end of the season, I am hopeful that the club will activate him to 3rd string status and put him out on the field in the late stages of a big lead at home. At that time he can hand the ball off to Joe Smith for one final time so we can all stand and ...

...i think the day of the walk up crowdes are gone, it all comes down to season ticket holders know. Agreed, but the irony is that there is an ever-expanding downtown population in the city of Vancouver. Currently, there are about 61,000 people in the Central Area which has exploded by over 20,000 ...

But yes, it is usually a rain or shine event. There is some cover to help us out. You mean "cloud or shine" event don't you? It hardly ever rains on game days! And one giant noogie to the first person to write: "You see? THIS is why we need a domed stadium in Vancouver." :roll: ...

Good Lord, man. What is it with you and your attendance fixation? You're more persistant and annoying than the mountain pine beetle. Sorry to be a buzz kill, but we're not going to draw over 40,000 Saturday night. Not even close. The Canucks are on TV that night and the Giants have their home opener...

I love how he used the "they're a great organization, and I still bleed orange.....however" card. Tell me about it! He's prefaced every interview with gushing remarks like "I have the utmost respect for Wally Buono and BC Lions organization" then continues to rip him with dispar...

I do not understand what these Roughrider fans have their knickers in a twist about anyway. That whole ruckus worked 100% in their favour. The Lions were now way way out of field goal range, effectively taking 3 points off the board and BC lost the use of a starting receiver for the entire second h...

If someone brought this up before, apologies. I don't think anyone did so here goes: kudos to Paul McCallum for a phenomenal job punting the ball yesterday. :beauty: He really got us out of a couple of jams. If I'm not mistaken, he nailed two 80 yarders!

Any chance we get 40,000 for Saturday? Sadly no. Vancouver is an event town. Hype, big names, lots of advertising and word or mouth - that kind of thing. Not a "Boy, those Lions sure are playing well so let's go check them out" town. Don't get me wrong, we'll have our largest crowd of the...
