OT: Parabola Memorial B.C. Lions Thread IV

[y2kcanucks]

Can anyone tell me exactly what this season is all about for the Lions franchise?....Stamps toyed with the Lions even with their C-plus game and the Esks are light years ahead of them as well. Best they can possibly hope for his either third and road playoff date, or as the crossover team. Either way, they're not winning a playoff game on the road. And they seem to care more about the CFL in Regina and Winnipeg anyway, so would probably be better for the league if they got in anyway.

They're using a 30-plus year old QB who's one hit away from retirement...and their coach is heading off into the sunset regardless of what happens this season. Bring on the hockey season!

Lulay isn't old in QB years. It's not uncommon for QB's to go into their late 30's. He's very injury prone which is a concern.

The Lions went into the season thinking they could win the Grey Cup this year, and with a revamped D-line and O-line they should have been contenders. Coaching is a problem. Mark Washington has put together an awful defensive scheme that makes it way too easy for opposing offenses. Our RPO offense also has not been successful. Lulay has operated it much better than Jennings but it's still failing to put up points. And Wally is past his best before date. It's looking like a lost season for the Lions.

We still could make the playoffs. We'll have to get ahead of Saskatchewan and stay ahead of Toronto, which is very doable. We're just about to come out of the toughest part of our season schedule, but at the end of the day like you say we won't win a game once we get there.

Was cool to meet Solly tonight. He came out, did a little speech to our teams about bullying, and stuck around and helped and cheered on our players while the competed in the Punt, Pass, Kick contest! Really nice guy, really down to earth and grounded. Wish I could have chatted with him more but had to go run my practice.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Game tonight. 7 PM against Edmonton.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Mike Reilly is lived mic'd.

 

[The Nemesis]

That shot of Wally on the sidelines was kind of a "jesus, I should've stayed in teh front office" face.

But bonus points to the Edmonton receiver for doing The Carlton as his TD dance.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Both QBs mic'd.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

I remember when we used to lead the league in sacks.

 

[Cloned]

Both QBs mic'd.

I think Maas is mic’ed up too but I don’t think Buono is.

 

[The Nemesis]

Both QBs mic'd.

This is less intriguing than I thought it would be. I was hoping for silly play and hot route names. Like Spider 2 Y Banana.

 

[The Nemesis]

I remember when we used to lead the league in sacks.

I remember when we used to be able to tackle people, period.

 

[The Nemesis]

Also it's been 2 (3?) years now and the new unis haven't grown on me. I miss the white helmets, white trimmed jerseys, and the simpler logo that actually has the "BC" in it.

but I'm a jersey nerd and I know that makes me weird

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Two consecutive throws into heavy coverage.

 

[The Nemesis]

I guess I just haven't been paying enough attention to the Lions this season (honestly I mostly end up forgetting when games are on because I don't watch TSN as much as I used to), but that Edmonton DB was mocking Arceneaux and all I could think of was "Manny does a thing like the old Bushwackers from the WWF?"

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Oh f*** off.

Not you Nem. That damn sneak play.

 

[The Nemesis]

Oh man... From Wally's Wikipedia page:

Buono is often credited with developing some of the best CFL quarterbacks of his era, such as Doug Flutie, Jeff Garcia, Dave Dickenson, Travis Lulay and Jonathon Jennings.

Uhhh.....

Jonathon Jennings.

and Jonathon Jennings.

best CFL quarterbacks... Jonathon Jennings

to quote the end of that line on Wikipedia... "[citation needed]"

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Can't hit the QB anywhere.

When I played you could spear the hell out of him.

 

[The Nemesis]

Oh **** off.

Not you Nem. That damn sneak play.

No, no. I know you meant me.

Now that it's an official mod fight, we could probably sell tickets, raise some money for chairty and all that.

 

[The Nemesis]

There we go! That play call involved something called "X-Goblin!"

I feel vindicated in my demands of what a live mic game should sound like.

 

[The Nemesis]

Also, mild apologies to the Canucks people that might object to a Sharks mod coming into this thread and making snarky, debatably-OT joke comments all game in spite of not being a local (team-wise, not geographically of course).

Be aware that I refuse to take things seriously only with the best of intentions. Also that I'm not drunk or stoned or otherwise mentally compromised. I'm just this odd by nature

 

[The Nemesis]

Looks like Wally is mic'd up. He's just got a little mic pinned to his collar instead of feeding through the headset.

also RAINEY!

 

[Cloned]

No, no. I know you meant me.

Now that it's an official mod fight, we could probably sell tickets, raise some money for chairty and all that.

My money's on CM since he has experience dealing with the politics board.

You've been part of the furniture in here long as I remember.

 

[The Nemesis]

To hear some Sharks board regulars from back when I met a bunch on a trip down to SJ, I'm apparently some sort of Paul Bunyan-esque giant man. So I might have a size/reach advantage.

But I'm also not much of a fighter, so I'm willing to give CM 5/2 odds as a favorite

 

[Captain Bowie]

Turn on the game and first play I see is a TD! Or so I think. I't been nothing but downhill since then.
