I'm adding my voice to the chorus of grateful thanks for your reports from camp, B.C.FAN. Very much appreciated. I'm wondering if you (or any others who might be there in Kamloops observing the action) could perhaps describe the styles and skills of the 4 running backs? Who is a jitterbug type and w...

Interesting report on Dane Evans, from JC Abbott. https://3downnation.com/2023/02/25/this ... s-starter/

I'll be honest. At first blush I was hardly thrilled at the prospect of living with our new addition to the QB group, my immediate thought being "Dane Evans = Mr. Turn-over". But I guess I have a too-short memory, and while last season was indeed something of a nightmare of fumbles and int...

Dom. Rhymes staying -- gets one year extension. https://www.bclions.com/2023/02/13/all- ... n-the-den/

Interesting. I forgotten that Michael Couture was a Burnaby boy, and played up at Simon Fraser. Yes, he and Godber both play centre, and so that may raise questions re Godber's future, however, it's been noted that Couture has played several different positions along the O-line over the span of his ...

I imagine the fact that young Nathan recently got engaged (and most likely plans to start a family soon) makes the NFL money that much more important to him. This could set him up for life, Not so in the CFL. A far different situation in life now than when here in BC where he was single and living i...

Who will be moving on? The flip-side of the thread subject being, who might be moving into the Lions' den? Should be a separate thread perhaps. Dunno. But looking over the free agent list from across the league, I note Eugene Lewis's name, and wonder (given that Vernon Adams is likely our starting Q...

Wow. Top-notch article all round! -- both the subject (Bryan Burnham) and the author (JC Abbott). Perfectly quotable stuff from both gentleman. I see a good man's legacies both on and off the field of play; now the finishing touch to one (football career), and nicely underway with the other (fatherh...

Not surprising news, we all agree. But big news all the same. Bryan Burnham was the right package IMO, a stellar player and just a real fine man. For those reasons he's a top five receiver in my book, no matter from what angle you look at his career with the Lions. I will miss his titillating catche...

David, I dearly hope we're wrong about our gut feeling re Burnham, as I came away with the same. Factor in that Bryan will be 33 next season, and suffered more than his share of injuries this season, and likely most importantly---he and his wife have one recently adopted child and two additional fos...

Thanks Robbie. Much appreciated.

Whether one takes or leaves what Dickenson said about audibles several times overriding their planned rushing plays due to our defensive scheme this game (I'll take it---with my hat off to RP), the season stats show, as B.C.FAN pointed out, that this game was not much different in that regard from o...

West Semifinal Nov. 6 at B.C. Place. See you there.

Nice accomplishment! But that semifinal could be the end of the line for their GC quest if they don't clean up their act, i.e. a dozen penalties for over 100 yards!

Loved the celebratory arm-in-arm end-zone line dance (er, Lion dance) including a couple of the hogs! Good for a chuckle.

Wonderful news. But as I said on the other thread... Please, please, please be careful and don't hurry things! (I sometimes wonder about team doctor and coach decisions, e.g. letting Lucky go back in after getting his leg twisted in the pile, and then further aggravating it and needing to miss the n...
