No pranks on me today, which is good. Last year we set up the big plot that I was "fired" by my superiors at XM Country. We had a phone call to the hotel in Peace River, I hung up on them it was glorious. The funny part was it was all my idea. I had scripts laid out back at the station, times, everything. I actually tried to get something like that going again here, but of no luck. So, we move forward.
Today is a new day, and Beaumont is pounding on Okotoks right now as we speak. Their game got underway at 10am this morning. Head Coach Shawn Gervais said after the game last night that the team needs to be more physical. And that is an understatement. Clearly the opening ceremonies that were right before the game, the idea that you are playing a team who didn't even make the playoffs.........those things allowed them to take Leduc for granted. Full marks to the Riggers. They came out and, well, worked (no pun intended) like all hard working Alberta oil patch men, cough, people do. Should be politically correct!
Today's game is at 4 oclock. Jordan James will join me for some color commentary. He is making the trek down from Whitecourt.
