Could it be another tough night for Jones and the Elks? The Lions will drop the orange hammer on Edmonton.

Bring it on! BC better have their A-game. I’m not worried about their defence nearly as much as I am about our defence!

Elks run defense was very weak the last 2 games. Agros got over 180 yards!!! It was the main reasons for the loss. BC will try the same, Elks need to be far better in defensive

They will try… Really really hard.
That is all

We’ll see if Vernon Adams is 100%.

Private Stubbles called him a ā€œmangy rascalā€ before that great game last week, and he’s still mad that the Lions won as is our entire crew, so they are all on board with me for this one, even though some of them are understandably fans of the Boatmen who just beat us in a thriller.

Sports select has Lions as 7.5 favorite. If VA is healthy enough, Lions will beat the spread. If VA does not play, Lions will not beat the spread.

I’m not a real betting man these days, but for sake of fun, I would take Elks +7.5 in any case.

Isn’t the BC/Edm game on June 27?

Agree. Elks offence couldn’t stay on the field the last couple years. So maybe they do tonight.
Cobb is back from injury at right SB, Boyko is back at RT. Grohovac is available on the O-line.
Jack-Kurdyla though is on the 6 game. Also injured, Kyran Moore, J-Min Pelley, Mayala, and Brodrique.

Yes my mistake, I just made a correction. I have been making a number of mistakes lately.:thinking: Thanks for the heads up mallard.

Elks are playing well enough that they’re becoming due for an upset game (assuming they can stop finding ways to lose), but I just don’t see it happening in BC Place.

In defense of your defense… it IS pretty offensive but that’s not their fault. IMHO Chris Jones spent too much money on MacBeth when he should’ve used his spare cash to surround Tre Ford with more weapons and throw the rest into his talent-starved defense (those poor guys are hungry).

For the record, 20% of forum pool shysters picked Edm to steal the win.

(Breaking News) THIS JUST IN: According to a recent pretend poll, 80% of forum pool dentists picked Crest toothpaste over other leading brands to get teeth their whitest… so that Chris Jones will look good while he’s getting canned at halftime.

Hope springs eternal.
Not even an Elk fan here.

The word ā€˜Elk’ and ā€˜Fan’ are found less and less in the same sentence.

Hey… don’t scare that Elk fan away. Have you seen their home attendance totals? Elk fans are fast becoming an endangered species. We must all do our best to help repopulate the herd.

I for one will be volunteering to hump as many of those critters as I possibly can. It’s the right thing to do.

We’ll have to wait until 14 July, the next game, to test your theory you damn varmint.

Go figure after tonight, the Elks will have more than two weeks off, with a home and away that week with Ottawa on Sunday and Friday.

Then after Ottawa, the rest of the Elks’ games are on only Saturdays or Sundays until Labour Day, and of these there are only two more home games this summer, with both on those Sunday.

I guess there’s a reason for such sparse home scheduling in the summer in Edmonton.
