Tonight, BC @ Calgary (Calgary -1.5)

Rourke starting per depth chart, for what that's worth.  Mike Reilly was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play, but is listed as the backup. For what that's worth. 

Takeru Yamasaki remains at PK after missing two short field goals and a convert in the game the Lions lost by 4; the Lions do have import kicker Stefan Flintoff on their practice roster.

For the Stamps, Ka'deem Carey returns at starting tailback after a horrendous fourth quarter that sparked the Argo comeback last week.

Whoever books this stuff has Calgary favored by a measly 1.5 points, which seems kinda low to me, but I am not much of a gambler.

cfl.ca was 6-0 Stamps
MBB was 37-3 Stamps

Just like those tall brains above, I picked Calgary in the pickems, which means that Rourke will absolutely go off on them and the Lions will cruise 45-18.  I have a perfect record to preserve!

Fair point. So how about we figure out what type of fans Fox Creek and Steve the3rd actually are before sh*ting on them and telling them to leave. Because we haven’t seen enough yet of either type of extreme to make a conclusion. 

Rider fans are guilty until proven innocent.

Fox Creek has been fine so far, respectful discussion. No issues with him. Steve is ok but a little too defensive of the Riders.

If you'd ever been to Fox Creek those words would never be said.

Hi all

I just wanted to say I understand some on here who don’t like another fan coming on this board especially a rival Rider fan. To be clear I’m not hear to cause any problems just to have friendly conversation will you guys . Imo we both are fans of 2 of the greatest teams in the CFL , with 2 of the greatest fan bases . What better fan forum to join then the Bombers , I just want to have good intelligent football conversations with another football fan. I understand the jabs toward me are hopefully good natured jabs at your rival and I’m fine with that. I say let’s all just be glad football is back so we all can enjoy the game I know we all love.

Cant wait for the Labour Day and Banjo Bowl games , easily the best rivalry in the  CFL and best games.

Cheers

Go Riders

I agree...and feel the same....post that over there as well and see what response the fans there have....as its not one they follow, and any posting of a rival fan there is attacked wayyyy worse than the jabs you have gotten here...which is more in fun...there it gets almost personal in the comments, is juvenile at best, and truly seems its a board full of immature teenagars, or highly uneducated adults for the most part

Fox Creek AB Rider Fan is trying to be respectful here so I'll cut him some slack. He hasn't said anything for us to be pissed off about. As Noeller said, ArgoDave "gets It". Hopefully Fox Creek AB Rider fan does as well. It's okay to have other fans here like ArgoDave.  Just be well behaved & not a .... is all we ask.
