Western Final - Go Green!

the green is the machine ready to make a scene, don't doubt it. I'm telling you, its about ... to take us all to a new level, of crazy fools on the rebel. come on don't take out yer shubel, until the snow flies, again you will have to reply.

Who are you calling a gringo?

"A recurring false etymology for the derivation of gringo states that it originated during the Mexican-American War of 1846-48. It has been claimed that Gringo comes from "green coat" and was used in reference to the American soldiers and the green color of their uniforms. Yet another story, from Mexico, holds that Mexicans with knowledge of the English language used to write "greens go home" on street walls referring to the color of the uniforms of the invading army; subsequently, it became a common habitual action for the rest of the population to yell "green go" whenever U.S. soldiers passed by. This is an example of an invented explanation, because gringo was used in Spanish long before the war and during the Mexican-American War. Additionally, the U.S. Army did not use green uniforms at the time, but blue ones."

Okay, I going to start the fun, GO BC!!!!!

My Riders cap arrived Friday (from Alberta yet) and I am now ready for the game. It will be Roughriders harvesting the Lions.

Rodent-phobic talk will not be tolerated? She likes me! She really likes me!

You’ll be green with envy. Go BC.

The ferocious gophers are coming to eat the cute little pussy cats.... mmmm stir fry.

Gonna be a close one 'cus BC has home field (unlike Calgary)

Riders by 3.

Look for McCallum to miss a 20 yarder, Dickenson to suffer his 3rd concussion against the riders front 4 and Pierce to mount a valiant effort that almost gets there.

Fun facts.
-Dickenson hasn't played 4 quarters since July.
-Lions had 5 losses this year. 1 and 3 vs the Riders.
-2 good place kickers.... 2 bad punters.
-Riders won the last 2 games against BC in 2005 but lost to BC in overtime. Missed (short) kick by guess who?
-Gophers eat meat too... muhahaha

Hey , did anyone see Ralf Klien comment on Belinda Stronach not having a conservative bone in her body , well , maybe one.

I thought that that remark was quite appropriate because it is normal behaviour to give a Dog a bone.

All right its finally time to feed the Riders (RODANT BADGERS) to the LIONS.
Any score predictions out there?
I predict as long as the Lions prevail by one point it will be another great day in "Paradise".
Now as a consolation prize you can bring all the Liberal and Lefties back to the flat lands of the Rodant.
Go Lefties Go and take the Riders with you!
What ever happens the CFL is still a much better game than the NFL.

Go Riders GO!..yep heard what Ralph said..hyehehehe.....Now i hear hes going to be looking after a proget to bring nuclear power to Alberta....

Go Riders GO!.....

The politically correct predication for the western final is as follows:

According to Wikipedia, the Saskatchewan "team name comes from a Northwest Mounted Police force (based in Regina) who were called Roughriders based on the fact that they rode wild broncos while on duty". Everyone knows it is wrong to try to tame these beautiful natural animals.

The BC team on the other hand is named after the majestic mountain lion (cougar).

Take the Lions by 10.

The politically correct method of predicating football contest is 98.3% accurate.

Go Riders!

Last week, the renowned psychic, Dr.Don, was dead on with his predictions:West; Calgary 35 Gophers 18
East: Winnipeg 28 Toronto 15

batting 1000!

This week will be no exception; West B.C Lions 42 Small furry animals 21

East: Montreal 28 Hogtown 24

Grey cup B.C.31 Montreal 18

You can take this to the bank!

The story I heard about the origin of the word 'gringo'was that it came from Argentina during the British occupation of Buenos Aires for a couple of years in the Napoleonic Wars. The British soldiers used to sing a song called 'Green grow the rushes, oh' when they were marching around and it was corrupted to 'gringo'.

Handy reference guide for the BC "fan":

Your team is called the Lions. They wear orange, black, silver and white.

When they are in possession of the ball, that is called your "offense", alternately when the other team has the ball the BC team is on "defense". Do cheer when on "defense", do not cheer when on "offense".

Go ....! Ah, who gives a crap!

Who do you think the BC Lions will beat in the Grey Cup this year?

BTW: 34 Lions 23 Losers.

At least Sask can take comfort in knowing they were beat by the best ... game was closer than the score indicated ...etc etc

Remember, anything is possible. Evidence of this is that Stanford's football team won yesterday.

OK, since Big Red is out, Go Green!!

GO GREEN! It would be just like BC to get all cocky and overconfident. Truth is... if Saskatchewan is on their game, BC will get their ass handed to them on a plate.

Either way, it'll make for a good game.

I just don't get football. Why do these manly men keep patting each others' butts so much? Does this encourage greater production somehow, like making them kick better or something? It's all so not baseball. Sigh.

Lance, B.C.s cheerleaders could beat the Gophers.

B.C. 38 ,Gophers 21

Regardless of who wins, I'll still cheer for the West next week, and for *****'s sake, get a new mascot for next season.

I agree dmorris. Leo the Lion is looking a tad mangy and has got to go!

NoIron Lady, it's because they're gay.
You should see what goes on in the dressing room!

Her: "Are we cheering for the orange guys or the green guys?"
"The green guys dear."
"Aww, but the orange guys have paw prints on their hats."

I have to say that the Riders have, by far, the very best fans in the league.

For that reason, allow me to be the first to share your collective pain and express my deep sympathy for the about-to-be realized results of today's game.

Damn filters...sorry for the double post

Dorcy reminds me of that commercial with Bart Simpson..........Butterfingers

.........sheesh.........

Dear The Rat:
I'm not sure "like" is quite the right word. Ain't that a dead gopher at the top of the page.
I don't think she is really rodentophiliac.

The history of the Roughriders is probably the most colourful of all spoerts team.
The name Roughriders is in deed associated with Teddy Roosevelt and his Roughriders, as many Canadians rode with Teddy.Their colours were red and black , the green replaced red during WWII when red dye was in short supply due to the war effort .

There won't be any miraculous 2nd half comeback this game. Lions are outplaying the Riders in every aspect of the game. Sigh. Good thing I didn't make any bets on this game.

Good on you Lions.

Cheers,
lance

lance,

Are the Lions fans cheering at the right times?

C'mon Gainer!

Work your magic...

I thought there was a rule regarding home crowd noise during the opposing teams snap or is that only in Professional football?
I haven't played a lot of football but I remember that bit of quarterback communication being very important.

14 pts in the 3rd quarter . . . maybe I spoke too soon. :)

All I can say is the Lions better kick ass next week. It might be the last time the Montreal team plays in the CFL, if Iggy gets his way and Que becomes a nation. It would only be right for them to go out with a big loss.

45-18

It's too bad Sask.had the "first half from hell", as they showed what they can do in the second. They never quit, gutsy team.

As for Danny Barrett, the coach can only play the team management gives him. He's a class act.

Saskatchewan needs to fire their Premier, not their football coach.

Oh well, another year at the GC without the Riders....ugh! My fav eastern team lost too....ugh! At least the leafs are winning....but ya gotta feel for those sens......ha ha ha!

Now I would like to ask the awesome fans of Saskatchewan to join BC and open one big orange can of whop as.... and go kick some Montreal butt! Let the party plans begin......

Go bombers
