CHEER!

I don't usually watch sports on purpose. If it's the finals or people get together with snacks to watch a game, sure. In Saskatchewan football fans are fanatically rabid for the green team--Goooo Riders. When some offered me free tickets, I said 'why not?' I started writing down a couple of words to describe the experience and this happened:
