A Frog in BC

Hopefully clever comments about life in Vancouver, B.C. as lived by a French girl from Montreal

Can't believe it...

but I had a really great time last night at the football game!

Yes, the BC Lions vs Edmonton Eskimos game last night was everything but boring. The Lions won in overtime with a victory that was a stroke of luck (the last field goal by the Eskimos hit the pole) and throughout the game, kept their fans on the edge of their seat with close calls. Thanks to Tucker's patience, I now understand the game, which makes it a lot easier to enjoy the skills being displayed. This was also the game where Mike Pringle (formerly playing for Montreal) broke the all-time CFL rushing record of 16,116 yards.

One thing is for sure, when the home team is working defense, a stadium full of 29,704-some screaming fans can be a really noisy place! The Lions now leads the West division (and Montreal, the East division!!).
