Fast forward and this year we faced the same team in slightly different circumstances. Last year's game was played in Regina (can't beat a home-town crowd for the win). This year the game was in Calgary and it was a chilly one (the last report pegged the temperature at -27 out on the field). It didn't seem to matter as the Riders managed to hold on for a 20-16 win over the Stamps. I took in the game with friends Mike and Angie again, following near-to-same steps as last year when we watched the game together (what? I'm a wee bit superstitious).
I bought my tickets for the 98th Grey Cup back in June, with a premonition that my team would be playing the final. Not only are the playing the final, in my new home-town (yay Edmonton!) but we're matched yet again with the Montreal Alouettes whom we lost to last year (let's not discuss the 13th man debacle). I can't wait to see how Edmonton ramps it up this week/end and I really can't wait to cheer my team on for the win.....I can feel it deep down in my bones, this year we're going to win!!!!
Hey you... remember me? I still check up on your blog every once in a while to see how you're doing. Congrats on your team making it to the Grey Cup! I bet you'll have a load of fun. Hope the current Rider team is a bit better at counting than last year's bunch... jking!
