So Brett & Mike treated me to my 1st live football game. I was excited as if I was going to a GAP sale. My pregame concern was what to wear. I wanted to look sporty you know - fit for the stands of a Lions Football game. I wore a bright green jersey top with a pair jeans and my new cream colored hat! I was very happy with it.
When we got to the game I knew it was gonna be as exciting as I anticipated. People were waving around flags, cheering, dressed in football jerseys in our home team colors - black & orange (I wished I had something orange to wear). But I also noticed a lot of people wearing bright green, just like my top, so I was secretly thinking hey...this green color is probably a cool football color until some guy draped in a green flag, with a green face gives me a thumbs up and yells "Go ROUGH RIDERS!!"
What? Who are they? Then like a black cloud coming over me...I realized that I am wearing the color of the opposing team. The Saskatchewan Rough Riders. Not that I have anything against Saskatchewan, my Grandma is from there. But really I am definetly more of a Vancouverite and very proud of it. So as I was sitting there, I see eyes of local fans glaring at me while I keep mouthing - I'm just wearing the wrong color, hehe.
The game was fantastic! Touchdown on the 1st minute. We were on fire!!! We had a few minutes left and Saskatchewan scores 22 points in less then 3 minutes putting them in the lead. Green fans were ectatic! and I was feeling even more green. Enough is enough. I took off my green jersey and decided to just wear the white shirt I had on underneath. I felt better instantly. And apparently so did the Lions cause they scored a 90 yard touchdown with only half a minute left, giving us a thrilling 40-38 victory over the rough riders!
