TAMARA IN CALGARY SHOWING US WHAT RIDER PRIDE IS !!!!
I'm sure we'd all agree that our Rider's mean more to us than just football. But if we look at it as just football, then it is just one loss. We win games or we lose games.
Players get traded, signed, hurt, retire, but the football keeps going, win a game, lose a game. Obviously this was a BIG game, but like Durant said so many times, he just has to go out and play the game of football. Now there are days like today when we look past football and realize what our Rider's mean to us.
We all know how being members of the Rider Nation brings us together and gives us all an unspoken bond, wherever we go. I have a 'gasp' Stampeder fan who told me today he finally understands us Rider fans after witnessing what we went through.
The Rider Nation is the envy of the country and this country is going to watch how we respond to this. If we respond by throwing a few under the bus and calling for changes, well, it is hard to be envious of that.
But if we respond like it appears we are responding, by embracing our team, standing behind them, and standing proud (like we did when we whipped the Stamps for the final), we will show the country that the Riders are WAY more than just football. It is not a game for us... you win and lose games... This is something that can never be lost.
Long live the Green Machine!
