You know what these are? These are the tickets that Crystal and I had so we could go watch the Riders beat Calgary 30-14 to finish 1st in the Western Division...something they haven't done since the year I was born.

A guy at work has season tickets at centre-field, and he wasn't able to go, so he gave them to me (thanks Mike!).

Crystal has never been to a CFL game before, and what a way to cut her teeth. It was a fantastic game. The Riders played great, and despite some crap calls from the ref's, they remained composed and kept getting first downs.

I think the highlight for me was seeing Chris Szarka bust through on third-and-two for about a 50-yard run, and go on to score a TD 2 plays later.

I woke up this morning unable to speak from cheering so much, and a nice headache to match. A booze-free hangover. I think Crys had a good time too, despite cold fingers.
