This weekend the Montreal Alouettes face the Edmonton Eskimos in Vancouver for the Grey Cup. Being a Montreal fan for about 40 years I am naturally picking them to win. Anyone else out there interested ?

I and a few friends have been getting together for about 30 years at Grey Cup and enjoying a little fun. It has become a ritual that brings old friends together and maintains ties that we've shared since childhood. Nowadays we spend the weekend at a cottage living a beer commercial; drinking beer, having barbecues, playing poker and playing a little touch football.

Does anyone else maintain similar ties and rituals?

I have watched the Grey Cup for decades. I'll be with you in spirit cheering for Montreal. But they have a seriously tough game ahead of them. I wish I had plans but I don't. BUT, this is the one time a year I break my 'ignore the TV' thing and purposely set out to find a place to watch the game.

Not me, I was raised on American football and I just don't 'get' Canadian football. Never really tried.

Used to watch it religiously, but now only if I don't have something else to do. Went off all football several years ago.

Except for college football. Watched in a bar.

Mainly because of the fans.

I misses the game. Was busy with a new song. If I drank I'd cry in my beer.

It was a great game even though Montreal lost, too bad you all missed it, it will go down as a classic.

What was up with that shitty halftime act? 5 idiots jumping up and down shouting moronic statements wearing bad golf clothes? Does this shit pass for music nowadays? Thats why the CFL only has 18 fans. They get a group that only 7 year olds can appreciate but 7 year olds don't watch football!!!
