I can’t believe that it has taken me this long to write about the fact that I went to the first Rider playoff home game in nineteen years, not to mention my first live football game. OMFG what a great time. I went with some folks from work and being the old fart I drove, a good move in hindsight, light -weight young people. We went to Regina the day of the game and stayed the night, cause I don’t drive drunk. The noise the sea of green and the atmosphere were amazing. We were on the top, at the top of the stadium a long long walk up, especially when you do it twice because you forgot to get money out of the ATM machine on the first level, a good way to kill your buzz. High fives abounded and cheering was none stop. We lost the guy who’s place we were staying at, you shouldn’t drink beer from a paint can you find on the street on the way to the game it makes you puke, life lesson. I am going to make sure that I get back to that stadium and support my team a few times next year, no matter what happens in the Grey Cup, we’re going to win anyway.
