Prophecy in Retrospect:
During tonight's Grey Cup game, in which our province's beloved Roughriders played the Montreal Alouettes, there were frequent screen captures of the RiderNation fans holding signs which read:
The 13th Man Is Your Worst Nightmare!!!!
And apparently... he was.
I'm still reeling in shock. And I'm not even a huge football fan. That was more ridiculousness than one game can handle. And I'm guessing that one Defensive Line Coach will be wearing a RiderNation melon hat on his head for some time. That is, if he still has his job.
Good work, Riders. Sorry that it didn't turn out for y'all. Better luck next time.

For those readers who don't know the scoop, the Riders were set to win the Cup with only two points on the Alouettes. With mere SECONDS left in the fourth, the Alouettes set up for a field goal and MISS!!!!
Flag. Too many men on the field and Montreal gets the ball again with nothing left on the clock.
They didn't miss the second time.
I can't even talk about it..... brutal.
You've completely lost me!
Oof! Brutal.
My beloved Spartans lost a game earlier this year (with maybe not quite so much on the line, but still) in almost exactly the same fashion. Up two, seconds left; opponents miss a field goal, but one of our guys was a little overeager in trying to block the kick, and got called for offsides. And our opponent didn't miss their second attempt, either. . .
But, can I say that one of the more enjoyable things I've ever done on vacation was the time we were vacationing in Ontario, near Niagara Falls, and took in a CFL game between the Hamilton TiCats and the Toronto Argos. A unique experience, fersure. . .
