BC Lions are 2011 Grey Cup Champions: Travis Lulay and the B.C. Lions hoisted the trophy for the 6th time in franchise history in a way nobody would have foreseen 3 months ago. The Lions quarterback put the ball in the hands of sophomore Andrew Harris and Kierrie Johnson, each of whom responded with t.d.'s, and veteran Arland Bruce, who came alive in the second half. Bruce's 4th-quarter t.d., which came just after Lulay nearly gifted a touchdown to a Bombers defender was pivotal. It gave B.C. just enough for a 34-23 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers before 54,313 fans. Lulay was named the game's M.V.P., Harris was voted top Canadian.

Lions completely controlled both O and D line play and the only time the game got close the Bomber's Odell Willis dropped a gift TD interception on BC's 5 yard line (guess he must have hurt his fingers with all of his bs tweeting during the week).
