This has less to do with my weekend but with the kind of weekend it will be for football fans across the country.
Yes, it's the last weekend of November which, if you enjoy going outside without a shirt while it's about 0 degrees celsius, can only mean one thing: Grey Cup weekend.
I'm far from being the biggest CFL fan out there in fact. Still, there is something special about the final game of the year and the weekend during which it takes place. Having the privilege of living in the city that hosted the event last year, I can only imagine the electricity that must be in the air right now in Calgary. Last year there were festivities starting on Thursday in the downtown area (specifically in the Grey Cup village) which lasted until Sunday night. It was really well organized and a lot of fun. I hope football fans in Calgary are having a blast this weekend.
As much as I love the Super Bowl (and the lord knows I love it a lot) there is something a little more 'fan friendly' about the Grey Cup. Whether you're a curious observer, a neutral fan because maybe your team didn't make it this far, or your favourite club is days away from potential glory, I wish you a very merry Grey Cup game.
Go Alouettes go!
