One Win Away

   And the countdown clock has started for the 101st Grey Cup, in which the Riders will take on the Hamilton Tiger Cats at Mosaic. And in Regina, the party's already started with people spilling out onto the Green Mile after the 35-13 butt-kicking the Green and White handed the Stampeders in Calgary.
   I only caught the first half of the game on GX94 during my weekly drive back to Yorkton, but what a half of football it was! Turnovers cost the Stamps, and double "D" and the Rider crew capitalised.
   So, now it's Hamilton's turn for a spanking after they beat the Argo's 36-24 in the east final, and Regina's going to go nuts! I kinda hate to say it, but I will be "escaping" the Queen City next Sunday after my weekly commute, and will miss the festivities afterwards. Which if..no..WHEN..the Riders win might not be a bad thing. It'll be "party central" in Regina, and will be even if the Cats win.
   I am, of course, pulling for the Riders and hope they put together on Grey Cup Sunday the same game they did yesterday in Calgary. It'd be real nice to see them win at home, in the last Grey Cup game ever played at Mosaic. Kick-off is at 5:00 Saskatchewan time.
   Interestingly, the last time these 2 teams met in the Grey Cup was 1989. A game the Riders won 43-40. Lets hope for a repeat!
   Go Riders!!
