First play of the game was pitch to Rankin on the outside and BC read it the whole way, pretty sure we were stopped for a loss. They had our number in the run game all night. Being down three starting interior OLmen didn’t help. Thank God we kept...

That official is brutal.

Cody said during post game that the Lions threw a lot of stuff at them that they hadn’t shown on film previously, that’s what happens when you have two full weeks to rest and gameplan for your opponent...

[ben_the_eskimo]

Brutal. You haven’t miss much on offence but our D is on fire to start the game, 1 sack and 1 pick already, no first downs given up yet....

Rourke hurt? I’m at the game so I haven’t seen any updates on his status after getting sacked....

[ben_the_eskimo]

Yeah I have two dogs and I love them, but I have no desire to bring them to a game with me. Good for the EE for trying something different but it’s not for me that’s for sure, and that’s totally fine....

[ben_the_eskimo]

Rourke’s not gonna go undefeated against us his whole career… he’s due for a loss to the double E....

Big redemption opportunity for Djabome going head to head with Butler in the rematch.

Fox in for Williams on the DL, I like the way he plays, dude is violent.

Sadly, it looks like we’ll have to wait one more week for...

Let’s go!!! The boys have a chip on their shoulder after their performance in Kelowna, that should provide more than enough fuel for them....

[ben_the_eskimo]

Great post Lonnie!...

[ben_the_eskimo]

All this being said we don’t truly know the ramifications of a winning team on our attendance yet because we’ve only had two games at home and one was a monsoon and the other a Thursday nighter against an eastern opponent with yet another...

It’s unfortunate but the reality is that outside of a vocal minority group who had nothing to do with the team whatsoever, NOBODY wanted this change. You basically had two camps, those who strongly opposed it, and those who reluctantly chose to...

[ben_the_eskimo]

Unfortunately, based on the conversations I have with people I believe you are right.

Even now that they’re winning, I’m finding more people are talking about them and the fact that they’re looking good so far which is...

The name change was a devastating blow that came at a time when the list of problems with the club was already a mile long. Changing the name was just the cherry on top that made things go from bad to worse. From the moment they stepped back on the field...

That game was painful to watch. Especially because the ticats probably would have won it if they could have just done ANYTHING offensively....

[ben_the_eskimo]

Man the Riders and Ticats are awful. Dolegala is the worst QB I’ve seen in a long time....

Listening to the Elks Central podcast today and Eddie Steele brought up something I had noticed and that is that the Elks have opened the last 3 or 4 games with a swing pass to Skyler Griffin along the sideline. If I’m noticing that then I’m...

That play was very impressive. There were a few instances where most players would have just allowed themselves to be steered out of bounds but he kept the play alive. Shame he couldn’t quite finish it....

[ben_the_eskimo]

Good point, I guess I assumed that Luther could play wide but now that I think about it I have nothing really to base that off of lol...

[ben_the_eskimo]

Agree with all of this. Especially Djabome, I thought he had a really impressive bounce back performance in his second start. It’s funny because last year we let Nyles walk in favour of making Anderson the guy, but if Nick doesn’t find a...

Same, the West side stands (which obviously is the side you don’t see on tv) were twice as full as the East side.

15k on a late Thursday night is not terrible for a team
on the rise trying to rebuild its fan base from scratch,...
