do or die

John Lennon is the recipient of my latest apology: We're playing those mind games together Moving the yardsticks, planting the seeds Playing the MOS guerrilla Chanting the mantra, rumours on earth We all been playing those mind games forever Some kinda poster dudes lifting the veil Doing the MOS guerrilla Some call it magic the search for the grail Spin is the answer and you know that for sure Spin is more power You got to let it, you gotta let it grow So keep on playing those mind games together Faith in the head coach, out of the now You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind Yeah we're playing those mind games forever Projecting our rosters in space and in time

Yes, Streveler is not a finished, polished product. But his unusual strength and speed, from the QB slot.... may give us some opportunities to really open up this O. Provided we have a game plan, that is tailored to his strengths. No to a lot of straight dropbacks. Would like to see a lot of roll out, moving pocket, option sets - get this guy in positions, when he can pressure spots on D. be a dual threat with Harris.... and force some defenders into playing Peter or Paul, back there. Interesting to see what Lapo does with a different (it has to be) plan.....and how Strev can execute it.

LeFevour almost had Do or Die arm strength....

Resistance was futile.

At least I was too cultured to yell at umpires...

Had hair that went down to my shoulders, complete with headband. Smoked imported brands, as well....

The year of living dangerously.

With both Strev and Harris in the backfield......absolutely

Would be a huge win, if we pull it off. 2 games clear of anybody....

What do you mean "right now"?

Durant can certainly come here. If he coughs up 70K first....

Kongbo looks like a good one - quick and physical. Depth paying off, yet again.....

I like Bridge. As long as we bring someone else in to actually play QB.

Sobering that we didn't score a TD on O, against the Stamps....

Hell, Streveler could do that....

No fuss but plenty of feathers....

Even before Hansen got snaps at end, last nite.....one could see that this dude likes to hit.

Be a different scenario with Strev in all the way, running a full (we hope) O package. At least we can figure out, what we actually have with him. OL blocks for runs, pretty well...if we can maintain a two headed run threat.....then play action, options, hybrid motion sets, and some other change ups may work. All in the hands of the guy pulling the trigger, though.

"Cosmic"

Sure he does. Why we had Nichols keeping on an option play in the red zone (with audible mumbling from stands)

Just trying to stay ahead of the curve, here....

Lions waste no time.....start on D with 2 PI penalties... Harris runs a couple for 14...out pattern to Lucky at the 10 Harris bobs and weaves to the BC 5... Nichols keeps the ball on a zone option.....fans scratch heads.... ...Matt solves problem by riffling TD pass to Demski on a slant, deep in the endzone... Lankford with long KO return....but Lions nailed for holding... Reilly throws great 25 yd pass to Burnham.... ....but Gaitor tips away 2nd down pass attempt... Nichols play action...then drops in perfect pass to Matthews deep for 50... 2nd down pass hits crossbar or post....Medlock 25 yarder. 10-0 Bomberrs Reilly chucks up shot put ball under pressure....Carter catches it at center field... Reilly then sacked by Roh. Nichols with loads of time.....hits Demski right up the hashmark, for another 50... Nichols scrambles and Woltman has ball bounce of hands....for cheap BC INT. Reilly popping some short ones...against Bomber zone D... BC gets an IC call, and passes to Burnham and Carter.... Richardson stops drive....making stop on 2nd and 3. Lions kick the FG For some reason....Nichols out: Streveler in.....who rolls out..... ...and has pass deflected for another sloppy INT... Reilly pressured on 2nd incomplete. BC kicks another FG. 10-6 Blue. Harris takes a 2nd down and long draw...battles past 4 Lions for a FD... Nichols sacked. Medlock 45 yard attempt hits the uprights.... Bombers have left some points out there..... Jake Thomas comes in on stunt and nails Reilly for huge sack... Lankford runs around a bit...before giving up safety.... Bombers had called a time out.....yet decide to take ball, instead of a return.. Plenty of mumbling in the stands about that one. 12-6 Bombers at half.,. Bombers driving for show...but not scoring for dough, so far.... BC starts 2nd half with big flea flicker - couple of Bombers sucked in on Carter throw... White runs though a seam, all the way to the 4. Then pops into end zone on next play The 1-6 Lions are ahead now ...13-12. What the hell? Interesting to see how Blue react.... BC keeps using short kick offs ....but this one not quite short enough.... Grant wiggles and waggles....sideline to middle of field all the way to the BC 25... Nichols has all day to throw but freezes in the pocket and is sacked.... Medlock's 37 yarder makes it 15-13 for the Blue... Reilly throws out to the flat.....Jefferson is out there and leaps up for the pick.... ....and runs it back to the BC 30. Need to cash in on this one.... Nichols screens it to Lucky who cuts in and out...for big first down.... Nichols hits Lawler on hook pattern at the 1. Matt sneaks it in.... 22-13 Reilly sacked by Nevis and Thomas.... Blue overload left side on punt rush....BC misses pickup...... Sayles blows in off the edge....clean block and quick scoop...for the TD Bang...bang. All of a sudden it is 29-15 BC looking like, well....BC.. All time CFL Canadian yards record for Harris announced on the PA.... ....resulting in a very nice standing ovation from the 24,914.... Reilly finally gets off nice pass across the middle....but penalty calls it back... Hansen in at end.....and promptly reaches around and punches ball out from Reilly... 2 runs from Harris, short of the marker.....who proceeds to limp off to his bicycle.... No punt. Medlock comes in for the 54 yard FG attempt.....and puts that through! 20 straight points.....and control of this game for the Bombers... White looks like he has huge gain around the edge...but is tripped up by Bighill... Hansen marches into the Lion backfield to sack MR...but Jefferson offside... Blue show 3 man DL set...but Hecht blows past White to blast Reilly.... Lions salvage 47 yd FG....while Reilly looking very unhappy with his OL... Nichols dawdles rolling out of pocket, takes blindside hit and fumbles.... BC recovers at Blue 25. Dumb turnover #3..... Nichols runs out through tunnel, holding his arm....does not look good... Bighill blitzes....hits Reilly, forces fumble and recovers it. MR really looking pissed. Streveler first series...busted play and an incompletion. Blue O struggling in 2nd half again White running ball hard for the Lions. Sayles hitting hard for the Bombers.... Sayles with another nice tackle....our most aggressive DB, by a mile.... Hanson getting a lot of snaps....and looks pretty physical...... Him and Kongbo are popping the pads pretty good, here... BC moving the ball with short stuff....but eating up gobs of time, down by 16... Reilly connects with sideline pass to Durant to Bomber 33 50/50 ticket flashed on big board....scan numbers eagerly....but the fix is not in... Reilly goes down again...this time at the wingspan of Jefferson... 3rd and 21...Mike chucks long throw to Carter....incomplete Claybrooks decides to challenge this for something or other..... No soap. Turnover. Game officially over. BC sucks. Augustine comes in to do his close out power run thing... 4 straight carries....2 first downs....clock strikes O, for Orange pumpkins... Bombers get job done for my 500th game I got job done with my 500th gin. Give or take a few zeros..

Started in 66 ....with my dad

At least I now know to cheer loud......

Learned something from watching TSN....
