This Friday night at the Canad Inns Stadium in Winnipeg Manitoba, the Blue Bombers and the British Columbia Lions are both looking to win their first game of the season. For two teams who were often predicted as the Grey Cup match-up, 0-2 is definitely not a good start to the season. Depending on how the rest of the season goes, this could still be a Grey Cup preview. It wouldn't be the first time that a team had come back from 0-2 to win the Grey Cup though. In 2002, BC Lions coach Wally Buono went 0-3 to start the season with the Calgary Stampeders. Buono won the Grey Cup that year. The Blue Bombers have had trouble in all areas during the first two weeks of this CFL season, but none to big, totaling a score of 61-40 for the opposing team this season. The Bombers will not be doing to bad in the standings with a win this weekend, as Toronto lost to the Edmonton Eskimos on Thursday night, making them 1-2, and the Calgary Stameders defeated the Montreal Alouettes, for a 2-1 record. Depending how the Hamilton Tigercats do against the Roughriders after the Bombers game, there could be a three-way tie for second place in the east division. That’s right, folks, the Bombers are still closer than it seems to clinching second place. The B.C. Lions, however, are not so lucky on the west side of things. The Edmonton Eskimos and Calgary Stampeders have both gone 2-1 on Thursday with wins, and the Saskatchewan Roughriders could stay undefeated at 3-0 or go
