Yes! Another Edmonton championship team!
Yesterday’s Grey Cup, aside from being the first CFL game I’ve been able to see in 6 years, was probably one of the best games I’ve seen in a long time.
Imagine my surprise to find the Grey Cup game actually being broadcast on a US sports station, and on CSS no less. And what a game it was. From Edmonton’s first field goal and touch down and a 10-1 lead after the first quarter, to the nailbiting second mini-game in OT it was an exciting game, and pretty much a quarterback duel. The Edmonton offensive line seemed to have a hard time containing Montreal’s blitz, but several good defensive interceptions and blocks kept Edmonton scoring. By the numbers, it was Edmonton all the way though, with turnovers and bad penalties playing key parts in the game.
Of course it would have been much better if I had been able to see the whole game…Seems that for time and scheduling reasons, CSS chopped off large chunks of the broadcast, like a good chunk of the 2nd quarter, the entire half-time show, and pretty much the entire 3rd quarter. After the 2nd half kick off, it went from being 10-8 in the 3rd quarter to 20-18 in the 4th quarter. Argh.
Oh well, at least I got to see (most of) the game.
Delta(2005)
Looks like while everybody was getting ready for Thanksgiving and filling up on tasty food, TS Delta(2005) popped up, making it the 25th named storm in this season that just won’t end. Fortunately it’s out in the middle of the Atlantic and is forecast to stay there. It’s certainly taking an odd track though.
Wobble wobble wobble
Hope everyone celebrating Thanksgiving yesterday had a good one.
It was another trip up to the Rocky Mount, NC area this year for Thanksgiving at the wife’s aunt’s house. A nice fun time, with lots of good tasty food. Could do without the drive there, but the food was worth it. Nala was very well behaved around all the people too, and got lots of play time outside. I think every one left very fat and happy yesterday.
Once we get back home, it’ll be time to start preparing and practising for Christmas at our house.
No real running lately
Lots of active playing with the dog though. Tossing the ball and racing her to it, walking and other romping around with Nala. Been kinda busy lately, but I think I’ll be able to get back to it soon after we get back home this weekend.
