  • # YEG Fest – '76 and '77 helped with comms; '82 (met my X back stage!) site security supervisor; '83 back-stage gate. Since? *sigh* … #
  • I just want to Favorite this. Hey, Scribd? Don't get in the way. You're appearing increasingly larcenous. http://scr.bi/945yTm # readcast #
  • # CFL – Burris is putting on a clinic. (How to rifle a pass? Look an learn, Lulay.) Consequence: his receivers play their A-game. #

  • Maciocia firing … I came "home" when I came back here, but sometimes I really don't like Edmontonians much. # Esks #
  • Freak me out: something in MI-5 reminded me of something I had spent hr after hr listening to, dcds ago. And MI-5 brough up "number stns". #
  • In what have we failed? My cohort (enormously wealthy by any standard) whine, and accumulate debt. It's merely madness; how can we succeed? #

  • # YEG #CFL – I don't feel well. What I tweeted y'day: I want my # Esks to play a game they feel good about, win/lose/draw. C'mon guys! Enjoy!! #
  • @ ChrisSaad Ohhhh I thought of it as ploy/tactic/SOP. Sometimes mundane fatigue suggests alternatives. heh cheers in reply to ChrisSaad #
  • Worst season in ?what? 45yrs. That's existential. With talent, with … whatever you need, and yet … 4 straight losses. Skeery shiet. #
  • # YEG – Man those fighters are fast! #
  • # Esks – There you go; execute, get a coupla yards, defense screws up and pushes you over the line. 1st and 10. (Be there; get lucky!) #
  • @ Edmonton_Biz No such luck; nose glued to TSN. in reply to Edmonton_Biz #
  • # YEG – And that's the thing, # Esks are executing well enough, but everyone's waiting for the trapdoor to open and swallow them up. #
  • # Esks know how to play; don't swing for the fences each and every time (so to speak), play this play and not the next one … pace … # YEG #
  • Real smart. Make a good tackle and when the guy's down, bull-dog his head and take his helmet. Yaa. Right. Smart. Sharp. Ace. *NOT!!* # Esks #
  • Tie-game. Start from scratch. Stay calibrated, know what D you've seen. Try to have fun OR ELSE heh # Esks #
  • # Esks – Nice pass, nice catch, nice 2nd effort, nice yardage … no fumble. Now, rinse/repeat! #
  • # Dave_CHED – Way to go, chump, rag their ass. Geeez. *dork* cc: @ wakemp #
  • Remember this one: @ Dave_CHED – "#Esks offense is doing nothing with the great field position …" *dork* #
  • Whatcha gonna do @ Dave_CHED , you gonna cheer? # Esks #
  • # Esks double BC's score. heh #
  • Looks to me like # Esks are playing against Lions (and @ Dave_CHED ) and not against themselves; that's a Good Thing. #
  • # Esks *cough* 2ndary *cough* #
  • @ KarenUnland We know which one we can hope for … that's a start. ;-) in reply to KarenUnland #
  • @ westcosta79 My money? The team who plays loose will look good / win going away. Heck, they might both rally! # Esks in reply to westcosta79 #
  • @ jamie_thomas71 Gotta make QB pay for leaving the pocket; we missed a lovely sack opportunity. # Esks in reply to jamie_thomas71 #
  • # YEG #CFL – Thunder in the South Side. # Esks #
  • # Esks – Who slipped Leonard a copy of the play-book?! #
  • # Esks Not exactly thrilling, but kinda nail-biting dramatic in a neurotic "Who gets the hook" sorta way. #
  • # Esks – Lions stuffed run 'round the end, stuffed the center … Ray's gotta pull a Limmerman. #
  • Uh-ehr I mean a Wilkinson. (Wind's gone nutz on Whyte.) # Esks 2ndary 2ndary 2ndary meh meh mehhhh! #
  • Failed the sack; let QB get to the line; allowed the long run; let whassisname play keep-away for the major. 2ndary # Esks #
  • Still not raining hard on Whyte. # YEG #Esks #
  • Bummer … still not raining on Whyte. # Esks #
  • @ d_79 Yaa, prairie weather … big skies, big storms! in reply to d_79 #
  • # Esks – TSN reports power out at CommonWealth. # CFL #YEG #
  • Absolutely spectacular triple lightning bolt right over head. # YEG #
  • @ JustJayde From Whyte and 99th I see sky horizon S, but towards Nisku kinda like everywhere else. in reply to JustJayde #
  • @ jeff_ Meh, you serious? Sometimes things whisp … in reply to jeff_ #
  • Massive 5 prong bolt. # YEG (I looooove my windows.) #
  • @ britl Crowd-control 101 … get folk moving /before/ anything happens. Opens communications. in reply to britl #
  • Weird the way the wind went berzerk and died right down long minutes before heavy rain started. # YEG #
  • @ TSN reports power back up at Commonwealth # Esks #
  • @ cfl_esks No joy on that url … sml.vg? in reply to cfl_esks #
  • # CFL News – Jays 5 games ovr .500. ;-) #
  • @ dognamedbeatles I've been watching from Whyte and 91st … only place I see sky on the horizon is down your way. in reply to dognamedbeatles #
  • @ TSN announces "teams on the field" # Esks #
  • Leonard gets great D penetration. # Esks #
  • Man … gotta be able to count on Whitlock for short-yardage. # Esks #
  • @ cfl_esks New turf is holding up /real/ nicely. Bet the players are grateful. in reply to cfl_esks #
  • That's the Whitlock we know and love … hooaaa! # Esks #
  • Damn # Esks #
  • # Esks – There we go; 2nd effort … concentration and intention … dedication … devotion … "turnin' night time into day!" ;-) #
  • @ curb784 "Brutal" = in the trenches. Bring it on! # Esks in reply to curb784 #
  • Gotta extend that new turf huh huh … Ray had sweet hands on that one, just lofted it. # Esks #
  • Nice play. Only thing D can do is interfere, so w/lotsa space no reason to rush. /pacing/ # Esks #
  • Say it with me: Whitlock # Esks #
  • Gorgeous protection for Ray; CloseQuarterCombat … absolutely Ace. Say it: Whitlock. # Esks #
  • Is how it works: build on basics, make the move, take a 2nd look, extend the play. # Esks #
  • FTW … go for it!!! # Esks #
  • No shame in that. Just the least good of 2 alternatives. Play like yuh luv it guys! # Esks #
  • Slow up and let the freight train run over you, ayepp. # Esks #
  • Can't buy a sack. # Esks #
  • Couldn't buy a sack. # Esks #
  • @ TerryLErickson A TD there would have been poetic. The attempt? *sigh* Only kinda sorta. #
  • It's gotten cold. We might be in for dramatic weather. # YEG #
  • One more time, say it with me: Whitlock. # Esks #
  • @ BananaBoy80 Have you ever been a fan of anybody? I mean, in any sport? in reply to BananaBoy80 #
  • That series was pathetic. # Esks #
  • @ BananaBoy80 I can imagine you showing up for an annual kwetch-fest … in reply to BananaBoy80 #
  • Heads are going to roll. # Esks #
  • @ campattendant Thing is no 1 guy to blame. But sux = sux. Sad … hate to see good guys feels like shit. in reply to campattendant #
  • This would be a great time for a true-blue hero to step up and do some magic. # Esks #
  • blood in the water # Esks #
  • @ campattendant Followed heh ^5 in reply to campattendant #
  • "Screwed up but didn't lose" will be the headlines? The guys need pride, not "They got a nice spot". # Esks #
  • 5th time: say it with me, c'mon … Whitlock. # Esks #
  • # CFL 5:04 of the 4th # Esks #drama #
  • @ olearychris It's about execution. Is why the guys will hang their heads. I hope/wish otherwise; I got your back. # Esks in reply to olearychris #
  • Well … gotta be thre to get the luck. My team seems to be doing that. More drama than I could enjoy. *cue up-chuck* # Esks #
  • Not the first time Lulay's tried too hard. # Esks #
  • I think this game is going to turn on 1 play. # Esks #
  • There's the play? # Esks #
  • Nope … arm was /up and back/ # Esks #
  • Man, that's a tough game. I don't feel we won, but relieved we didn't lose! # Esks #
  • Just glad it's over. # Esks #YEG #
  • @ cfl_esks FYI http://sml.vg/NXIz14 is still borked. ^5 in reply to cfl_esks #
  • @ rockarts That sack/fumble (and a generous spot earlier) is why I'm not waying we won. We didn't lose. in reply to rockarts #
  • @ patrickbpenguin Yepp, ugly. Oh yaa, rack up a win. Yes indeed, rookie QB trying too hard. And *sigh* yes, nothing's been fixed. # Esks in reply to patrickbpenguin #
  • @ jordanshodges I can do that sorta thing. I'm relaxed. I don't have to worry about ticker rising/falling. ;-) How'z it w/you, young fella? in reply to jordanshodges #
  • For 2yrs I've been pusing for use of Google Earth and real-time data for forest fire control. 0.00 interest. Now BC is burning. *sigh* #
