Green is the colour, Football is the game

We're all together and winning is our aim
So cheer our song through the sun and rain
Saskatchewan Roughriders is our name.

There are more lyrics but this is usually all that the beer swilling fans can usually recall and yodel at Taylor Field.

I have been cheering for these guys since I was a kid. I cheered for them during the eight years in a row we missed the playoffs and could only win a couple games a year. I also cheered for them when all you had to do to make to the playoffs was play Sask three times a year and the year I am out of the country they have there best record since 1970? I am not sure if I am the jinx or Jonah or what. Needless to say I have thoroughly been enjoying listening to the games online. Albeit at 3:00 in the morning.

We all know the Riders are Canada’s team and deep down we all cheer for them. So in the spirit of all things green I thought I would initiate what is bound to come, poking fun at those of us from the holy land. So I thought I would warm you up with a couple.

1. You know the toothbrush was invented in Sask, other wise it would have been called a teeth brush.

2. You know you are from Saskatchewan when you get down to the herbicide jingles on the radio

3. You know you are from Saskatchewan when you can sort your clothes into three piles – 1. Green 2. White 3. Green and white

4. You know you are from Sask when you get married three times and you still have the same inlaws

5. You know you are from Sask if you climb the highest hill around (local garbage dump) for a romantic view of the sunset

So here is your forum to make fun of all things Sask and post all of your comments and lets see who is the most creative.

Make it a Green Day .
