What a great Grey Cup win for the Saskatchewan Roughriders! They dominated throughout the entire game -- final score: 45-23!
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats used up all of their nine lives during the game but never had the lead or were even close. Even Rider fans were showing them who was boss --
And for those of you doubting whether Regina grocery stores could indeed find watermelons out of season, oh yes they could and did!

Even though I am totally ignorant of this event, congrats anyway ;-)
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh that's so funny,
ReplyDeletethat wasn't a real tiger, was it?
ReplyDeleteWow...that photo of the guy wrestling the tiger had me speechless!
ReplyDeleteI don't know half of the words you just said, but yes, tiger is adorable, and congratulations to your sports team!
ReplyDeleteWell, they were certainly the better team in the final. The Riders were not my choice, but they deserve congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThe only small consolation I can take out of this season, is that our lowly Edmonton Eskimo's did indeed beet them in their final regular season game. :)
Congrats on the win. So cute, the guy wrestling with the tiger. Made me smile ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope the tiger didn't get hurt ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a sports fan - but can understand the euphoria !
ReplyDeleteI lurve those red uniforms by the way !
So glad I didn't have to endure listening to this game! Lol! Being married to a sports nut is hard sometimes. I'm glad Saskatchewan won, I guess. Lol!
ReplyDeleteOmg! So they actually did have watermelons!?! Congrats on the win, but what sport is this?!? Lol,lol
ReplyDeleteMelons and tigers, oh my!

I don't follow football. No kind of football, soccer even less. And I kind of stopped following hockey when the Habs fans started rioting every time the team win a game. Maybe I should start following football, come to think of it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats.. I'm very happy for you, but I'm clueless!
ReplyDeleteI was able to watch a little bit of the game on a channel called "NBCSports" here where I live.
ReplyDeleteNever seen a game before so it was very interesting to watch.
That is one hell of a big cup Deb.
ReplyDeleteWatermelons are well and truly in season here. So are mangos.
So I don't follow sports, but congrats!
ReplyDeleteIf BC couldn't have the cup, I'm glad it was Sask!
ReplyDeleteYay to the Riders, eh.
ReplyDeleteThe Grey Cup, a Canadian tradition that the rest of the world needs to know about.
CFL, all the way.
Gary :)
