Thursday Cheers and Jeers

Has it really been a week already? Alright, here's my list. Feel free to contribute your own!

Cheers
  • Andy Fantuz and Darian Durant. This dynamic duo led the way in the Riders' stirring 43-37 overtime victory over league-leading Calgary last Friday night.
  • The atom Cougars. The dream of an undefeated season died last weekend, but the kids returned to practice last night fired up and determined to finish the year on a high note this week.
  • The atom Bengals. Great job by those kids and coaches in handing us our first loss of the year. Very impressive.

Jeers

  • An atom football coach who would scream out "these guys are NOTHING!" in reference to their opponents during a game. Uh, those are 9-11 year old kids you're trashing. Settle down there, Vince Lombardi.
  • The Ken Miller-bashing brigade. The Rider coaches' strategy of trying to punt through the end zone for a win didn't pan out. However, they still won the game. Let's move on.
  • Jason Jimenez. The Ti-Cats o-lineman has no respect for the game, or his opponents. I can't wait until karma catches up with this clown.
  • People who have already written off the Regina Pats before the puck drops for the first regular season game. I'm not expecting much, but let's let them play a few games before passing judgement!

Pete, for being a good sport about the game last weekend. :) As I understand it, the season's nearly over, anyway, and you don't have much to fear from a single loss. :)

Good restaurants visited: Beer Bros and Pasta Prima.

The vets and staff at Animal Clinic of Regina are always great. :)

Working in a place where they let you bring your dog to work. Koko's always so quiet - the only way anyone knows he's here is the jingling of his tags. I'll have to do something about that.

Dairy Queen Moolattes. Have I mentioned those before?

Jeers:

Those code-hackers on Twitter on Tuesday. Ruined my day, stressed me out, and made me mad.

Me, for not being more vocal lately. It's been a busy coupla weeks. :(

Actually, that one loss knocked us out of tomorrow's league championship game. So it was definitely not a good time for us to come up flat!

Oh well, life goes on. Football too.
