The B.C. Lions WILL win their division

Posted on by

If you find yourself as a fellow Vancouverite like myself and also happen to enjoy football, then you are obviously aware of the B.C. Lions from the Canadian Football League. Whether you have been to a game or not, or maybe you went to go see the 50 Cent pre game show for the home opener, then you decided to stick around for some football as well, either way, it’s always a party at B.C. Place.

If you have been keeping track of the Lions record, then you would know that they are sitting at 7-6 on the season right now. Well, I know that doesn’t sound like a divisional champion record, they are in second as of today. Even better, they are actually tied for first, as Winnipeg holds the same record as well! 

So let me give you my reasoning behind why I think the Lions can easily push for the 1 seed in the homestretch of the season. Earlier in the season, they lost their star quarterback, Vernon Adams Jr. to an injury and it was not looking good for the team and their record. That was until, the Lions agreed to a contract with B.C. native, quarterback Nathan Rourke, which made him the highest paid CFL player. If you have been a Lions fan for a while, then you would know that Rourke used to play for the team and he was a natural born playmaker. Rourke tested his luck in the big league of the NFL, bouncing from team to team but never finding a place to call home. It was easy for him to find his true home though, where he grew up, in British Columbia playing for the Lions. This is huge and easily makes the team playoff calibre.

Now imagine this, B.C. is in the Grey Cup Championship, which is hosted in the best city you can think of, Vancouver. The team is en route to capturing their first title since 2011, a whole 13 years. And you will never believe where the 2011 Grey Cup took place. You probably guessed it, here in Vancouver at B.C Place. The Lions are champions, the city erupts with screams of joy as B.C. are once again number one in Canada, the orange and black confetti falling from atop as the team hoists the coveted trophy.

You can not tell me that isn’t possible, as I know it is. Who doesn’t love a happy Vancouver? So whether you believe in the uproar of lions or not, just know, I told you so.
