If The House Is A Rockin

We have all heard that we are the greatest fans in the country and I do not disagree. However, not all people of Saskatchewan are the greatest fans, ands that’s why other than LD and maybe a few games at the end of the year, sadly there is always a seat or two open on game day. Do the Riders not market enough? I don’t think that’s it, but maybe. Are people disillusioned from the lack of a championship for 17 years, and the lack of a home playoff game for even longer? Maybe. And I'm not just talking the HATERS; I mean the part-timers and others. Is there not a good game day experience? No way! I think overall the Riders have really worked hard to enhance the game day experience. I know I have a great time at each game. Are ticket prices out of whack? Again I don’t believe so, not if you look at what a hockey game costs these days. I don’t have the answers - if I did I would not be slugging water around all day, I would be sitting in my office at Mosaic saying, “Man, we need more seats in this place.” What can we fans do to help? Here is my plan: I want everyone reading this to try to talk at least one person who would not be going to the season opener into going. Don’t find a HATER because they’re beyond help, but get someone. That’s my challenge. I have been getting an average of 150-200 hits per day here (excluding the days I have pictures up - people seem to like the pictures). So let’s say 200 for today. If we each talk just one friend into it that’s not to bad cause maybe they will also talk a friend into it. You tell two friends and they’ll tell two friends and so on and so on. There is no way TF should not be sold out for the game against the Stamps. For that matter, the game against the Lions or Esks either. But will they be? Those are three key games and, you know what, the boys need us there. I realize there is lots going on in the summer to compete for the dollar but if Hamilton (yes I know their population base) can sell out that park with the team they have had on the field over the last number of years, why cant we? Am I off my rocker thinking we can do this? I hope not, because it would be awesome to sell the old girl out three times to start the season.

Is anyone using the newsreel on the right hand to get CFL information? Just wondering.

Earnhardt Jr. likely to join Hendrick Motorsports
The Kansas City Star

Dale Earnhardt Jr. has apparently charted his, and perhaps, NASCAR’s, future.Earnhardt, America’s most popular racecar driver, has scheduled a press conference for 10 a.m. Wednesday to announce his choice as to which Nextel Cup race team he will join next year. Full Story

If this happens it would be pretty cool. Jr has grown on me over the past few years, and I have always been a HMS kinda guy. DW, Jeff, Ken Schrader, Benny Parsons (yes I know Dale drove for him as well) have all been behind the wheel of a HMS car and have all done pretty well, why not Jr. Can you say super team? I will say that Kyle will be the odd man out but I guess time will tell. Holy crap what are the fans who hate or love both JG and Jr going to do if they are on the same team. Hendrick will be able to live off the merchandise sales alone. This one will be interesting.

Today’s Lyrics

" When there's no future
How can there be sin
We're the flowers in the dustbin
We're the poison in the human machine
we're the future, your future"

Not today’s lyrics but it was stuck in my head most of today so here, now it can be stuck in yours : -) your welcome.
