So, now we know the Roughriders won. Not a great game, but still a win.
The team arrived back to Regina this afternoon. They were whisked to the outdoor football field which is their home field. They spoke to a crowd that had gathered — people who took time (from work, play, school) to be there.
The media also dissected the previous day. Ideas about what happened, praise for a job completed, and just plain thanks for getting a Grey Cup home to the province.
18 years since the last cup victory. Some of those celebrating today were not even around then. And they are already predicting a baby boom in 9 months time based on this victory.
So, football will bring about a boom in families, economy, and even goodwill. Not bad for just a game!
