(My payment when we won a few years ago was given to me in a collection of British pounds and Indian Rupees, my buddy thought it was histerical, although it probably cost him more than $20 at the bank to be a dink about paying up). The 13th man debacle last year was histerical because my friend was all over me saying pay up, pay up, pay up.....and then we all know what happened.
I remember being in a northern Sasky bar about 2-3 years ago when the Stamps throttled the Riders, and I was cheering for the Stamps quite loudly the whole time. I got told to shut the hell up by a guy who must have been pushing 70, and who looked ready to beat the crap out of me....ahh good times. One thing for sure, the Saskies take their green and white very very serious.

LOL sometimes its worth the extra few bucks to be an a$$ about it.
Im a born and raised Calgarian as well, being a Riders fan is strictly by choice, thats why the cousin-lovin, backwoods cracks have no effect on me whatsoever!!
They do take it seriously, but what do you expect when theres nothing better to do there....
