who were those guys??

Pre-ordered pizza. Made some hot buttered popcorn. Whipped up some home made brownies.
Had a cheese ball and an assortment of crackers. Fresh coffee and a few other beverages alongside. Friends brought shrimp, oysters and goat cheese and assorted other treats. We were all ready. Candles were light to add some "atmosphere", a few banners were placed about the room.....someone colored their hair green (NO, not me) and wore a jersey proudly. Yep, the scene was set. Rider pride was in full swing. But, as the afternoon wore on, the pride kinda dwindled, the cheese even seemed to sink into the dish....the cheers become fewer and far between. Wow. That was a strange game indeed. Well, like all good Saskatchewan Roughrider fans...the last words spoken were "well, theres next year!!" Such optimism. Typical of a true Rider fan, always backing their team no matter what situation they are in.....go figure.

Well, I guess the Grey Cup will be a coast to coast deal this year, BC against Montreal....played on the prairies......I suppose that will make fans on both teams a little happier cause they will just meet half-way across the country in Winnipeg for the game!! See always optimistic....always in Saskatchewan....it's part of our DNA, me thinks. I sure hope those BC and Montreal fans know how cold a prairie wind can get, especially when you are sitting outside on a metal bench for a few hours!!!

Next year, Roughrider fans....next year!! just wait and see.
