Re: November 15: Lions on 1040, Canucks on 1410

Good. Last time, a couple of weeks ago, I emailed TEAM1040 and also the BC Lions to complain that the Leos keep getting bumped to 1410.

Re: Lions vs. Riders Game Thread

Maybe the defence was just playing soft enough to keep Bishop in the game :D.

The SSK dude, who was trying to make a tackle on Ryan Philips in the end zone, looked like he had Philips in a horse collar.

Re: Lions vs. Riders Game Thread

I take it that there's no chat room that we can use?

Man, this reminds me a lot of last year's Western Final, when it was BC coughing up balls all day.

Re: Bobby Ackles Place

I heard (on Pratt and Taylor) that the Lions will have the paw logo on their helmets, with 'Bob' on it, for the rest of the season.

Maybe they should rename from BC Lions -> BC Bob Cats :).

Re: Thelwell on the bubble?

I always thought that Thelwell wasn't re-signed as a Lion because of money management. Not that he was asking too much, but for what BC already had (talented, non-import receivers), it wasn't the best way to spend their cash. Of course, that was just the impression I had.

Re: RIP: Bob Ackles dead of heart attack

Wow, what a shock. This came out of the blue. When I saw the headline of the TSN via an RSS feed, I thought, "No, it can't be BOB Ackles." Took me five minutes to load the page with the article.

RIP.

Ditto. That's when mods should come in, to prevent threadcrapping.

$ 29. corners are now selling.

Confirmed. On a whim, I decided to check out Ticket Master and was surprised when I was able to get low, bronze corner seats, just inside silver.

Get 'em while they're hot!

Hmm, speaking of archived games, I wonder if CBC will do Grey Cup Classics again this year. If they do, I hope it's the full game and not the TSN 2h edited versions.

Seating question:

How high up is L4, Row MM? Does it go from A -> Z, then AA -> ZZ?

Thanks.

TSN has the better video though over CBC. Agreed. I really noticed that this year. Watching games on CBC (analogue cable) was like watching some of the older games I recorded on DVD at 4h mode. Lots of artefacting. But it's a shame that all the games are going to TSN next year, because I was thinki...

Some numbers until Blitz gets his post-game wrap posted ...

Don't forget that Dave Ritchie didn't get decked once this game! Maybe they should take him off the sidelines for the final regular season game, just in case ;).

TSN's website gets a lot more traffic, in general, so maybe it was just bogged down at the time.
