  1. I’m hoping so too Trevor. But I don’t think we shoulda beat BC on the weekend ๐Ÿ™ The 1st interception in the endzone was borderline pass interference…. And the second quarter might as well not have had our team on the field.
    (whoever made the schedule needs a new box of crayons I am sure… 3x calgary and 3x BC in first 8 games…oi)
    I am feeling optomisitc tho ๐Ÿ™‚ The offence has been putting points on the board. And the Defence seems to be getting teh rust off and playing better.
    We are gonna have a good year and be near the top even if we don’t win it all.

  2. nope.. just a small townian… where you support each other. (support them.. not do it for them)
    … Too bad you are the ones that ened up with Burris… Has he figured out how to quit that red zone interception thingy he does???

    Tell me about it. I’m not at all optimistic. It’s a good thing the whole division sucks haggis this year.
    support them.. not do it for them
    Are you upset about the provincial government forgiving their loan?

  4. For your cfl fix, check out riderfans.com. I highly recommend the Man In the Stands section and Monday Morning Perspective. Better football coverage than anything you will see in a newspaper.
    Go Riders!

  5. A gopher gun would result in a ten backyard penalty in my part of Calgary. Any other ideas that work when neighbours are only ten feet away?

  6. I work in BC and after a week of getting hassled about the game, I posted this picture in the office with a little cartoon talk bubble over it saying “Ow my pride!”

  7. MartinB , have you tried to get a UN resolution telling the gophers to stay out of your yard?
    Put handouts over the fence and feed them and they will stay put, in theory.

  8. Martin B, when we were kids, we made snares out of binder twine(finer than baler twine) and then we would patiently wait with the snare looped around the hole. Man that was so long ago. I actually still have some binder twine balls.

  9. Cal2, if I follow your advice I’ll have to get the yard re-zoned for high-density residential and apply to get the area re-named “Gopherland”

  10. how about “the gopher strip” keep them penned in for a year and they self destruct just like the palestinians.
