I think that’s actually Alexander’s first loss in the CFL. Wild.
Can hear the horns honking on Albert Street.
Of course the horns are honking. I’m thinking that Albert Street must be mobbed with people, preventing the cars from going anywhere. What else are the cars going to do? 
And then the CPR got into it! Can hear the train honking.
The TSN talking heads have just said that this was Shea Patterson’s first fumble in his career.
Horns are still honking.
And those things are loud!
I imagine that things are going crazy in just about every bar and restaurant in Regina right now. Well, maybe not every restaurant (I doubt that The Diplomat on Broad Street is going nuts, or the restaurant in the Hotel Saskatchewan), but certainly every sports bar/restaurant.
I’m sure that there will be a victory parade in a few days, and everybody will go crazy again, with lots of noise, honking, and I hope a few train horns again. Congrats to the Riders; you guys played a great game!
And is greeted with a hail of boos! Or maybe they’re just saying Cooooo-arney.
I thought the boos were for the CFL Commissioner, who recently announced a lot of changes to the CFL game, that are not popular among many fans.
In the pregame show, he sat for an interview and was asked about the changes. He tried to defend them, but ended up just deflecting a lot, never really answering the question, “Why?” He couldn’t come up with a good reason for the change, and he seemed to be desperately trying to avoid saying, “To make our game more like the NFL.” I doubt that attendees at the stadium saw any part of that interview, but his changes have been well-publicized, so when he was announced at the coin toss, it was natural that he would be booed. Thus, I don’t think the booing was for Mr. Carney.
I did rather like that Mr. Carney was not surrounded by sixteen guys in suits, each wearing sunglasses. I’m sure that security was there somewhere, but it wasn’t obvious.
That’s Canada for you. Living in Ottawa most of my life, I can tell you the PM’s security is pretty chill. Even the week that Harper attended a Redblacks game, just after the soldier was killed at the War Memorial. He was sitting just a few rows behind me, and spent all halftime on the Southside concourse meeting people.
