Saturday night I had the pleasure of brining my new bud Lauren to the Ticats/Lions game! Lauren had never been to a football game, nor had she ever really watched one on TV (she told me she had watched part of a super bowl once). She wanted to understand the game better but mostly just wanted to have a fun night and see what the whole CFL thing was all about. We met in Toronto and with two other ladies drove to Hamilton for the WHOLE Ticats experience. We parked locally, we tailgated, we BBQd and we watched a great night of summer football. Lauren summarized our evening perfectly in a completely sweet, LOL and honest piece about her experience -> 53 Thoughts I Had While Pretending To Understand Football – I think you’ll enjoy! I loved hosting Lauren and having the opportunity to share our game with her and brag about all the amazingness, so much so I think you should do the same. Here is my challenge – bring some CFL newbies to a game this season; you get to feel super smart when you talk shop AND you get to watch friends gradually become as excited as you are about the game. Send me your pics and stories
