I know this song isn’t really about the weather. But if nothing else, the title of this song by a popular Saskatchewan band from back in the day seemed appropriate for the winter in this province so far and especially for the last few days in particular… “Colder Than You” – The Waltons
I’ve been uploading videos to YouTube since 2006. This was the year we got our first digital camera. It was also the year when I was doing my Masters degree so I was very interested in all kinds of online services including online broadcasting. We were also living far from home so it was […]
The Riders are already the third most successful team in terms of selling merchandise in Canada, behind only the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Laffs. That’s partly because there isn’t much you can’t buy without the Riders logo on it. The Riders’ unprecedented success can also be attributed to a significant expansion in products, thanks […]
Well, in the end, the Riders held on to win the Grey Cup yesterday in a game (and really an entire season) that felt pre-destined. The Grey Cup losses in 2009 & 2010, the Grey Cup being held in Regina for only the third time in its history (and last time at historic Taylor Field), […]
I couldn’t decide whether to write a blog post before or after the game. So I’m splitting the difference somewhat and writing this near the start of the fourth quarter with the Riders leading 31-16. The Riders dominated the first half but as we saw in 2009, you have to play 60 minutes or else […]
Lots of fun stuff happening during Grey Cup week in Regina as you might imagine. Here’s a few things I’ve come across… This montage of fan-submitted Grey Cup-related photos is pretty cool (and hypnotic!) Cool (literally!) weather advisory from Environment Canada from Environment Canada A local radio station is asking people to party like it’s 1989 (the […]
So this week marks the second time in my life that I’ve been living in a city that’s enjoying a run to the championship by a local professional sports team (the Blue Jays’ World Series victories in 1992 & 1993, though memorable, didn’t quite feel the same.) In 2004, Shea and I were in Calgary […]

Well, that didn’t take long… Somebody already has a photo slideshow up on YouTube in tribute to the Riders winning the Western Final yesterday against the Stamps, set to the song “Paint The Whole World Green” by Jason Plumb and the Willing. Leading up to the Grey Cup game next Sunday, this town is going to […]
I had to work today so had set the PVR to record the Riders vs. Stamps Western Final CFL game. I also strategized how to not accidentally hear the score before I got home – no glimpses at Facebook on my smartphone, no checking Twitter at my break, only trying to make the most generic […]
