ALONE in FIRST!! I AM IN SHOCK! 😮😊 Now can I hold on and not choke like the bombers have the last 2 grey cups. Although this is ONLY 1/3 into the season, not the 4th quarter. So a LONG LONG WAY to go yet. It's late in the season where the final hammer comes down and the picks get more dicey! :D
Worst pickem week ever.
50% again. Chris Jones... Boris Bede... you suck.

Not that I care, but ever since their name change it seems to have coincided with their slide to oblivion. Almost as bad as the Gliebermans in Ottawa during the 1990's! :D Or the cardboard box guy in Calgary in the early 2000's. NO football acumen AT ALL! No wonder they royally flopped.

That what I've been saying! It's like the torn hat being lucky, but the opposite. The Elks name is cursed. It's stupid anyway and nobody likes it. Nobody.
They should have changed it to the Esks. No reference to the "name that shall not be spoken". Just Esks, a made up word that doesn't mean anything. If you're still offended, say it's short for
esker if you want, which is a real word meaning ridges of rocks leftover from glaciers, of which there must be some up in mid-latitude AB. There, Esks is now short for eskers. Problem solved. Glaciers are cooler than elk anyhow. The helmets can have pictures of rocks.
BTW, Elks isn't even a real word. Plural of elk is elk. Maybe when they fire Chris Jones they can change the name again.

I like the name change to Elks, it was the right thing to do at the right time.

Not really an Esker, but there is a HUGE glacial erratic south of Calgary and west of Okotoks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okotoks_Erratic
I have driven by it many times. Recall your high school geography and know that Erratics and Eskers actually exist all over the Canadian prairies as we were all covered by glaciers thousands of years ago.
They should have went with SCHMOES, not Elks anyway! :D There was an Edmonton Elks football team in the early 1920's I believe too.
A quick Google search DOES STATE there is a genuine CURSE on the Elks!! TOO FUNNY! ;) :D

That's cool, I'll put the erratic on my bucket list next time I drive out that far. Ya, lots of karst topography in the prairies. It's an interesting topic.

I like "Schmoes", just think of the endless mascot and helmet-graphic possibilities! :D :D

Big Rock Brewery is named after that very rock.
Quote from: Jesse on July 19, 2024, 05:22:40 PMI did not.
Save Techno some time and money by checking out a case of Big Rock instead of wandering around Okotoks aimlessly searching for a rock. :D

I like wandering aimlessly! Especially when looking for rocks.
From Google and BIG ROCK's website:
Why big rock beer?
In the middle of the vast Canadian Prairies rests a 16,000-ton boulder. It's the kind of thing that stands out, inspiring in its seeming impossibility. Taking our name from this longstanding curiosity, Big Rock Brewery was born
They have some good brews and especially when they came out originally in regards to garbage Aspirin tasting Molson Canadian (this improved with the new recipe a decade later) or other undrinkable concoctions prior to real microbrews and brew pubs starting more in the 90's. BC had many brew pubs already in early 90's.
You can't miss the Okotoks erratic. It's in Google Maps and Apple maps and probably many more others too. It is very close to highway #7 going west of Okotoks to Diamond & Turney Valley. Small hick towns. It will be on your north side as you drive. I have seen it endless times already as often go hiking & camping & motorcycle cruises when I had such wheels to the Sheep River Kananaskis provincial park west of those towns. Very beautiful Foothills country. You can take a mountain road farther west to get eventually to the main Kananaskis park further west, but truly need a motocross bike or a major 4 wheel drive truck. If you are a masochist probably could make it through on a mountain bike, but not my idea of FUN! ;)
If you come to Calgary just to go to Canmore and Banff, you are missing some even more beautiful scenery in these other areas SW of Calgary. Sheep River park hardly nobody goes to so like a hidden gem. No resort town near it, but wild nature. Do an internet search on "Sheep River Alberta Photos" and you will see what I mean! ;)
