Since Canadian sports are reported down here about a month late, I was googling around to see what you were talking about- figured you must be talking about the Grey Cup, but hadn't even heard it was being played or who was in it... What was the score?
Anyway in the googling I did find this out of a Calgary paper by a Calgary sports reporter: Is he saying Saskatchewan is redneck and backwoods :???:
---------------------------------------------
here we go with my list of how to tell if someone is from Saskatchewan:
10. Once every third decade or so, they perform strange, ritualistic dances in public places wearing watermelons on their heads to celebrate their latest Grey Cup victory.
9. They pronounce Saskatchewan "Skatchw'n."
8. You overhear someone explain how he installed a counter binder on his combine's pulley-driven wheat flattener with a square head hydrostatic coupler, using a universal bushing degreaser and you can't believe he left only five inches of clearance between the kernel rotor and the straw-feed regulator -- the idiot!
7. They know the difference between a farmer and a rancher.
6. They rent off-season storage space for the snowmobile on a week-by-week basis.
5. They know when Christmas is near because stores stay open late TWO nights a week rather than one.
4. They can't understand why American television networks never settle on a schedule instead of shifting all their programs back and forth for an hour every spring and fall.
3. They actually understand, and perhaps can describe in detail, the necessity for geographical correction lines.
2. They're confused when cars come equipped with options that would never be needed, such as curb feelers and turn signals, yet obvious options such as trailer hitches and air conditioning are extras.
1. When you ask them what they think of Calgary -- they say, "It's nice, but the mountains block out the sunset."

Back in the days when the only TV we could get was Canadian or from North Dakota I used to follow a lot of Regina/Canadian football-- always thought they were cheating with 12 guys :wink: :lol: But have to admit it is a faster game....
Glad someone good one-- My Chicago Bears looked like a HS team today- couldn't win if they had had 15 players on the field :roll:
Then I spent 4 hours watching the final night of the PBR, really hoping that Mike Lee or Shawn Willingham could come from behind and win it...But instead it was the oldtimer Adriano that won his 3rd (and probably last) title at the age of 40 by just a few points- 12 years after he won his first title...Did put on 2 great rides tonite after having a terrible Finals....Would just like to see someone else win the $ million bonus, since he's won it before......
7 Hours of wasted couch potato cheering today :shock:

Geez you think Calgary would be used to whippings the way the Flames are playing lol. Banning the gopher was a pretty dumb move I thought in the first place lol.

OT... That was an ugly game... UGLY.... Can't even blame it one person or aspect of the game. They were all bad... Oh well, You had to know they weren't going to go 16-0 but I have to wonder if they will be standing 7-4 after this roadtrip they are going to be doing... At least my College team won this weekend.. First win in the big ten this year for my Northwestern Mildcats... Until they start winning they will be known as Mildcats... If they keep loosing it will be chnged to mildkittens...

Since Grandma had something to watch in the living room, my son and I went into my office/den to watch the Bears....Thought he was going to start throwing things... He got so upset with them he gave up and went hunting the second half to work off his frustration :lol: --I finally gave up on them in the 4th and took a nap :wink: :lol: Almost looked like a replay of the Arizona game without the comeback...
And to top it, we (son and I) have two Bears on our Fantasy Football Team at the local Waterhole- Grossman and Berrian- who got hurt and knocked out of the game right off the bat.... We also have Buffalo running back Mcghee, who got hurt and packed off on a stretcher 3 minutes into their game :roll: Surely didn't win this week--and don't look like we are going to be the big winners this year......

Now remember OT, he who gambles, lives in shambles so I hope you don't have too much tied into Bears fantasty football players... I quit that stuff after being involved in a 800 dollar pool in junior highschool. Yep... Kept carrying over week after week with no winner.. The pisser of it is that I finally won the last week of it but than they got caught.. How me and my buddy escaped punishment is a minor miracle.. We were both in 8th grade and our brothers protected us from getting caught somehow.. Me thinks they thought they would get in more trouble if Junior Hsers had been involved..
Berrian is listed day to day right now.. Grossman plays that way again and he will be benched for Griese although I wouldn't pin that loss soley on the QB. With WR's fumbling, punt returners muffing kicks and making stupid decisiions well.. It was just bad. I was watching it in the bedroom where my daughter had fallen asleep right before the game as our other TV blew up when the power company screwed up... It kept my grumbling to a minimum because she didn't need to hear that language even if she was asleep and I surely didn't want to wake her up.. Let sleeping 3 year old lay...
