We are hosting a Peewee hockey tourney in Brandon this weekend. A team from Saskatchewan is clothed in Rider Green and one little guy even has a chunk of his hair dyed green. I asked him if his Riders are going to win on Sunday…..
He looks me in the eye and says…
“I am a Montreal fan….. Mom dyed my hair green… ”
Have a great day Rider Nation….!
Computer models project outcome: “Based on pre-adjusted historical data, the Toronto Argonauts should win. But after the adjustments, I’m calling a win for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in Toronto today.”
WELL, sucks to be us, I guess. Congrats to the Als!
Priceless Kate.
oh yeah? his mom knows what’s good for the little guy…

Finally a ‘green’ cause I can get behind. Only ‘deniers’ will be cheering for Montreal today.
wallyj….ROFLMAO…you owe me one keyboard
So far the Sask fans have been the winners.
I hope they are still as happy and having as much fun after the Als take the coup.
So I will be back to yelling “GO STAMPS GO”
next spring.
Other wise at the game today I will just be cheering every great play whether for the green or the blue.
Cheers
Although the Roughriders are the guys I’ll be cheering for,this is Montreal’s year to win.
Als: 34
Riders: 27
That is funny Kate.
And Oh yeah wallyj, got one die hard in denial Alouettes fan right here in my face -hubby’s a fan, so of course I’m going to root for the Riders on this one.
Who ever wins makes and cleans up for nice dinner next weekend.
Games a later start here in Ontario, 4pm, so we’ll be into the finger foods as it starts.
At least he’s not insisting I wear watermelon rind on my head.
Kickoff at 4:30 Calgary time which I think = 6:30 Ontario time?
Good one ‘Kate’. Will be cheering on the Riders.
Ah my mistake, thanks Banachek for catching that.
Kick off is 6:30 Ontario time.
It’s as bad as calling the Riders the Raiders… oh well my bad again.
🙂
It’s actually nice to look forward to something on TV.
Anyone know where I can catch the game online in the US?
Hey Kyle: Here’s a PDF file of the U.S. broadcasters, but you might be able to watch via the internet.

wallyj @ 1:52, love it!!
GO ALOUETTES! Still I think Saskatchewan is going to win due to the home field advantage – I like him but I don’t know whether Calvillo can seal the deal.
LOL!! I want to see your raw data.
Damn frikkin’ Canada being so big and all. As one who has to get up early to work in Atlantic Canada, most of the game will be missed as I dream of those wheat wackers slogging out a victory over those bird brains from la belle province. Here’s hoping I wake up happy.
btw, I started my Grey Cup celebrating appropriately early (thank G*d for spelchek).
let’s go ottawa!
Louise
That’s nothing,watch me manipulate my data!
“LOL!! I want to see your raw data.”
Well I want to your data in the raw.
Seeing is believing after all.

I’m a Saskatchewan expat in the States…it’s on ESPN360.com
I think I found an error in your computer modeling. You used FORTRAN which works for NFL predictions but here in Canada you have to use THREETRAN for CFL predictions.
Thanks for the links everyone. Appreciate it.
Sorry, Fred. I must have thrown it out last time I moved. :p
GO RIDERS!
Great music by my faves….Blue Rodeo! Love those guys!
Texas Canuck @ 6:22 Wheat wacker? LOL, thank you, other than being referred to as slightly right of Attila the Hun, which was a compliment at the time, this is one of the nicest names for us sod busters (even if retired) that I have heard.
TD Montreal.
Hope SSK dosen’t sh*t the bed for the rest of the game.
The dagger just went into the Alouette heart.
“Thead”? S little excited Kate?
When did they upgrade Varsity Stadium?
Ha. Don’t you guys know how to count in Saskatchewan?
Derek
ah ah ah ah ah
We won.
aha aha ah
I know it’s only a football game, but…
Heartbreaking. My condolences to the Rider Nation.
Ahhhh, that just bites hard!!!
I thought “football” was an Anglo game, QS.
What’s wrong with the Saskatchewan education system – don’t they teach how to count up to 12?
Counting to twelve is apparently a big deal. What a way to lose.
Too many players????
I’m speechless….
If you can’t count to twelve, your Grey Cups plans are shelved.
Guess I jinxed you, but really, you shouldn’t have thrown that interception, and 13 guys on the field? Wow.
Disappointing:(
What? Everyone knows that both 12 and 13 round down to 10!!!!
So help me out here… If we went for 2pt convert on the last TD, the best MTL could have got, would be a tie. If the convert would have failed, same result… I was screaming at the TV when they kicked for the 1 point, but I never thought that this would be the game-winning point.
A bad change of personnel gives the cup to Montreal… what a crappy way to lose. Just one set of downs with a first down would have made this unnecessary too… could not close the deal.
Lost on a penalty… Who on the coaching staff can’t count past 12?
In fairness, Montreal had the best team in the league, east and west. Check the record. They deserved this win. My team since the days of Etcheverry and Patterson. Rah Rah Als.
BTW: When we (Grey Cup experts) say today, we mean in the year 2100.
What a fluke win – missed FG taken over for TMMOF penalty Montreal should feel shame.
Unreal. I can’t believe that just happened.
To be fair though, SSK’s crappy tackling lost them that game. The too many men on the field call was just to top it off.
