As an American, I haven't watched the CFL before until this season. I made a post all about it months ago, but the short of it is that I wanted to check it out and I chose my team to root for is Winnipeg. This was solely chosen by The Weakerthans, One Great City song. (Shrug)

Anyway, I didn't know that I would fall in love with this league. I have watched nearly every game since the start of the season. Having a game one 5 out of 7 nights a week is awesome! Having only 9 teams is really cool. Someone stated that you can really get to know the teams and they were right! I didn't really believe them, but I see it now.

I have found myself rooting primarily for the Blue Bombers, but also rooting for the Elks and the Ti-Cats. I love the fan base. I LOVE the refs, especially the one older dude that speaks kinda informally when describing the flag/foul.

I'm telling everyone I know about the league to get others amped for it. It hasn't worked yet, I am trying. I am evening getting a Grey Cup party scheduled with my church.

Anyway, just wanted to share my feelings and let you all wonderful people what a great league we have. I don't even care about the NFL right now, and am more excited about tonight's game than I am about NFL's training camps.

Go Blue Bombers!
