2007 Vanier Cup / Grey Cup hijinx
Some of the activities this year:
- 16 of us took the VIA train down to TO, while many others opted to drive.
- Novotel is the hotel of choice, Commander Landers got us a good deal.
- It was the first ever doubleheader with both Vanier and Grey Cup.
- Vanier was on Friday so some only went to Grey Cup
- When one of the Manitoba Bisons busted a leg at Vanier Cup, a few stomachs turned. There were 26K on hand to watch the Bisons defeat the St Mary's Huskies.'
- Grey Cup was a bit boring of a game, but lots of Sask fans attended with 53K total to see the Roughriders defeat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
- We had 33 tickets to Grey Cup WAAAAY up in section 525
- One down point - a one beer limit at Grey Cup! BOOOO to that
- Four of us got in to the Maxim party on Friday night, as Dave the Slave decided to fire up the meat cutter, Andre Barrette earns his rookie of the year award, Kent falls down stairs but recovers nicely and Adam gets his picture taken with a couple of Calgary dudes and appears in the National Post.
- Jerred, Townie and Dave Weir get beat down by a bunch of scalpers over $2.50 a ticket. The cops want to press charges, but the guys decline
- Saturday was our "Free Day" and we make good use of it, visiting such pavillions as the Spirit of Edmonton, Argos party with UMM stage, and Riderville
- Don tackles a women at the inflatable Argo; no one was injured
- On Sunday, Kenny dresses in his best costume ever as Don Cherry with brother Dave as Ron McLean. Kent signs autographs and poses for photos with over 50 curious onlookers
- Linc puts on his Ricky costume (from Trailer Park Boys) and looks pretty good too
- Before the Grey Cup, several of us "take the stairs" and slip by security to enjoy free eats and a Bare Naked Ladies concert
