Sask in Grey Cup!

Not much Grey Cup talk around here. Who is cheering for Sask? Sask isn't a very big province, terms of population, but they love their foot ball team. I used to like their Pislner Beer too!

So far, I know of the following:

The Premier asked everyone to wear green all week in support of the team
Pre-game parade on 8th street in Saskatoon tomorrow
TCU Place (3k seat auditorium) holding 19+ Grey Cup party during the game
Sasakatoon Police plans to increase their presence in the city Sun. night

I really doubt that the Riders will win, but I'll put on my green hat anyway.

Go Al's go !
... My cheers didn't help the Al in several last chance they had at the famous harware.

I don't agree with the way Grey cup series goes ...it should be more like lord Stanley is,maybe not 4 on 7 but 2 win on 3 matchs
Just my 2 cent


Me bad! Sask Party crasher

LET'S GO ALS!

Gotta cheer for Montreal... great bars and strip clubs! Montreal and Quebec City are two of the most fantastic cities in Canada - loke going to Europe and we don't (yet) need a passport... lots of cool old architecture (and did I mention, the amazing strip clubs?)

Besides, I can't cheer for the team that knocked the Stamps out...

Looks like the weather is good, to favor Sask, that is!

Highways closed, dangerous driving conditions, lots of wrecks.

melons in sask

calgary grocers have ordered 10,000 water melons for the game...

i think that it will be a decent game, i don't like the games were one team forgets to show up....

been living in sask now since 1978, i was a die hard EE fan until the showed that they forgot what football was all about in 1989, cheer for the riders... good to have something local to cheer about.

oh yeah seen pictures of every combine still left in the fields heading west to calgary, hate to be there when they arrive, the traffic jam on the deerfoot is gonna be something to remember...

Elementary and self-explanatary my dear Kootenay Kid... It's a grey-coloured cup awarded yearly in late November (preferably outdoors, snowy and with high windchills) to the winner of a team of guys, rolling around in muck, kicking, running and throwing a pigskin while wearing tight pants!!!!

Yup I would rather be riding...

Were watching using the PVR (personal video recorder to FF the adverts) but end of second half Sask is looking really good.

Go Sask!

Don't dare phone my buddy in Sask, maybe bad luck or something.

Is there something other than gravel roads in Sask or were you in Alberta?
