GDT BC at Edm, Fri July 17, 8:00PM

[Tecno]

EDM forecast's are mixed.  Some say thunderstorms rolling in halfway through the game.  But the radar short-forecast is clear?  Maybe it's so hot the storms will just thrust up out of nowhere?

If rain comes we could see 2 effects:
1. Rankin starts running away with it.  He's 10X better than Mills.
2. If lightning comes the game could be called before finishing... So getting an early lead is important for whoever wants to win.  No postponing stuff for H2... if you win the toss, take the ball and put all your wrinkle/best plays into H1.

I'm still taking BC in this one, but if any game can go either way, it's this one.  Was BC's last game a mirage?  Rigged so Kelowna could see a win?  Or has BC turned the corner?

Also consider, BC off the bye.  And BC getting some desired starters off IR, and EDM putting yet more quality guys on IR.  EDM D is kind of decimated, and OL too.

[The Zipp]

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

almost looked like brice got smacked in the head on the play he threw the pick. 

Brice looked really good in pre-season but this is asking a lot more.

[Sway]

Luke Wilson on commentary is a breathe of fresh air for TSN and CFL.

Just a more casual calling of the game I think works better.

Long past due for some of the dinosaurs to  retire, Suitor,Rod Smith..

I kinda miss Rod Black though 

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

Decent looking crowd for Edmonton, hopefully they win their fanbase back.

[Jesse]

I mean, c'mon.

I turn the game on to Bryce throwing an interception? This is not the game I was looking forward to.
