Rider Pride


Happy March! It sure doesn't seem like spring is supposed to start nineteen days from today. A low of -33 tonight. Ouch.


On Sunday, I attended the Oilers and Bruins game. That may have been the best Oiler game I've ever been to. It had everything hockey is supposed to have! Fights, speed, hits, intensity, an Oiler loss, women. Wait, what? Yeah...Oilers Octane (the cheerleading group) were there dancing throughout the night. I'm not against it and I did notice they helped the commercial breaks go by faster.

I don't know what I was thinking by NOT taking a picture of the cheerleaders.



At sporting events around the world, there has been a relatively new phenomenon. Saskatchewan Roughriders gear has been seen everywhere! Last Sunday at the Heritage Classic in Calgary, there were groups of Rider fans and the day before that, at an LA Clippers/Lakers game, Rider fans made it on the tube too. Other instances include the World Series in San Francisco and the Stanley Cup Final in Philadelphia. Rider fans are like mold, they're everywhere! This isn't an extreme case but I decided to wear my Rider gear to the game in Edmonton to represent Rider Pride. I mean...it's only a matter of time before we suck again.
