It's only 52 days until the 2013 football season kicks off! Hurray!I've neglected my football blog something terrible. I always have good intentions. I was going to post high light video's and football movie reviews, but none of that happened while we all endured the longest winter ever. So, I've decided to do a football 10 thoughts, which is something I do on my regular blog every week.
1. Yesterday was the CFL draft. I don't actually know how the Riders made out. I know we picked up some O-lineman and D-lineman and the names look slightly familiar from the Huskies and Rams but that's about all I know.
2. Last week, Brandon West was released. I always liked him. I never got to meet him although I tried at last years Green & White day. I don't think there was a place left for him when Kory Sheets had such an amazing year and let's face it....he wow'd us.
3. It was announced that Saskatoon will be Riderville North. This is pretty exciting and I can't wait to hear what it all involves. I hope players...current and past come visit the Rider Store. No one has been here in ages.
4. June 3rd will mark the start of training camp in Saskatoon. I'm hoping to attend a few days. I'll be the one slathered in sunscreen and doped up on allergy meds. Let me tell you, sun allergies suck.
5. A month ago I washed my jersey in eager anticipation of the season to come. I continue to wish that the Rider Store could find a vender who provided more realistic sizing for the voluptously sized.
6. If you are one of those Pinterest People you can find me there. I have a whole board about the Saskatchewan Roughriders. LINK
7. This month on my Kidsport calendar Weston Dressler is featured. The last two months were sad as they were Odell Willis and Shomari Williams who were both traded in this off season.
8. We installed new windows over Easter and had to remove the 100 Year Rider flag from the window. It won't be going back up because we got proper blinds. I'm not sure what to do with it now. It's a little faded from being in the window and turned a funky shade.
9. Speaking of not knowing what to do with stuff....I have a bag containing empty boxes of Fantuz Flakes. I also have a box of Dario's and a box of Getzlaf triple berry. What do I do with these things? I can't just have them sitting out in my home....it's not set up for that. I wish I could have them displayed in a cool way but I don't know what it is yet. Idea's are welcome.
10. In the off season I have resorted to watching Nascar with my husband. I'm not into hockey or baseball even though I own a Yankee's hat. Nascar races last as long as a football game and I'm fearing that I'm actually getting into the sport. Please send help. *turns left*
