Grey Cup

Recommended Posts

GO RIDERS GO!

My dad and uncles were at the game and are heading to the Grey Cup.

Great game, without Kevin Glenn I don't think the Bombers have a chance. Gonna be watching the game at home.

Got my Rider Pride up on my balconey.

Green is the colour

Football is the game

We're all together and winning is our aim

So cheer us on through the sun and rain

Saskatchewan Roughriders is our name!

Interesting to see the all prarie final. Hopefully people in Toronto will show up. Historically, the Grey cup is a way more entertaining game than the Superbowl. (Notice I said game as the 1/2 time shows don't count ;-)

I'll take Lenny Kravitz at the Grey Cup this year over any teenybopper crush they roll out at the SuperBowl. Who's it gonna be this year, Hannah Montana?

Does anyone know how to watch the Grey Cup from the internet in the US? I went to the site that lists all of the TV stations down here that are showing the game but I can't get any of them on my Time Warner.

Link of all US stations showing Grey Cup

Oh, and uh....Go Riders. My hometown!

I'm in Regina now and I must say you guys love your "Roughriders." Passionate fans...

3000 people on Albert Street partying till 4 in the morning. 1500 crazy fans greeting the team at the airport at 130 am on a sunday. Crazy.

Oh I saw it man, it's foolish. For a city of your size it's insane. All the bars had the game on and went crazy when something good happened. I'm just happy I'm leaving tomorrow for home and not last nite.

It was pretty wild here welcoming the plane back, there was more people but it was at 11Pm rather than 1:30. Winnipeg will be a total gongshow this coming weekend so I cant wait to get downtown on sunday.

Try getting on the Lewvan or Ring Road that night. Backed up forever! Took us almost an hour and a half to get out!

Yeah, and when the Roughriders played the roughriders haha. I saw the grey cup when it was in Ottawa 3 years ago maybe? Awesome weekend, great game. The pieces have fallen in place for Saskatchewan, with Glenn out it's gonna take a miracle for the bombers to win.

Twas the night before Grey Cup, and all through the Dome,

Not a creature was stirring, but the gophers back home.

The players were nestled and snug in their beds,

While visions of Grey Cup Rings danced in their heads.

When out on the field, there arose such a clatter,

Kent sprang from his bed to see what was the matter,

Away to his window, he flew like a flash,

Threw aside the Green Curtains, and Silky White Sash.

And what did he see with his wondering eye?

But a sea of Green Revelers and a furry brown guy.

“That looks like Dominguez, and Flick and Fantuz!”

“Its way after curfew! Do they want us to lose??”

So, out of his room and down to the field,

Coach Austin stormed out with a fury to wield.

As he went through the tunnel, the ground shook with a beat,

From the dancing and prancing of ten thousand feet.

“Hey Coach,” cried a voice, “Whatcha doing down here?”

It was Szarka and Schultz, and they were handing out beer!

Chucky and Chick were grilling up Dogs,

With Burgers being served by O’Day and the Hogs.

Crandall cooked Hot Wings, Joseph grilled steak,

While Cates, Holmes, and Hughes helped Makowsky serve cake.

“This is nuts!” Austin shouted, “It’s one-thirty AM!”

“I expected some revelry, but this is mayhem!”

Eric Tillman tapped Austin, “ You’re not Eagle Keys -”

“But I’m not Berry, or Gotta, or Gregory – so PLEASE!”

“You’re all waddling around here like Wascana geese!”

“And in need of a dance coach like Donald Narcisse.”

“Now, you’ve all had your fun, so back to your rooms.”

But then Austin’s nose picked up the barbecue fumes.

Then Green Is The Color rang out through the air,

As Congi and Boreham played Banjos with flair.

On Davis, on Johnson, on Coach Ritchie Hall,

Even old Alex Smith flashed a smile after all,

On Lloyd, on McCullough, on Hunt and on Perry,

On Kornegay, Frazier, and yes, even Kerry.

The skydome then filled with a soft greenish glow,

And the whole Rider Nation set poised for a show.

An S and a wheat sheaf then formed in the air,

And a smile took the place of Coach Kent Austin’s glare.

Then everyone there, the players, the fans,

They formed a big circle by all holding hands,

Then right in the centre appeared the Grey Cup,

Which Fairholm and Ridgway and Elgaard picked up.

They handed it over to Ritchie and Kent,

Who called Kerry and Eddie, and off the Cup went.

It was passed round the field, past heroes to present,

While Gainer dug holes for the Blue Bomber Pheasants.

That music was heard coast to coast people say

And they say Rider Pride grew three sizes that day.

Everyone left there dreaming of Blue Bomber doom.

And they sent all the Banjos to Troy Westwood’s Room.

GO RIDERS!

I so far have $20 on Sunday's game and have been the subject of all jokes this past week. In a school of 477 kids, I am 1 of 2 Blue Bombers Fans....the second guy was cheering for BC until they lost.

Victory would be so so sweet on Sunday.

im sorry to all you Winnipegers, but without glenn, the Bombers have absolutely no chance. roberts is effective to a certain extent, but then they need Glenn and Stegall to hook up a few times a game for big yardage and touchdowns
