The season begins tonight with BC at Calgary, which will be on CBS Sports (Hulu and YouTube TV).

Most of what I have seen has been posted just in the last 24 hours.  So I will plan to post what I see, a little bit out of order, I'm afraid.

The other day I rode the elevator with a man who was wearing a BC Lions t-shirt!  He said that he has a lady friend in Vancouver, and that she is a big fan of the team.

Toronto 43....Edmonton 31
