In the end, the Thunder rolled.
I know you can easily get distracted when the big team is on the TV, but there’s other football ’round these parts. And the Golden Bears aren’t even back at school.
But this was also opening weekend of the Prairie Football Conference (PFC). A conference of football in which Edmonton has not one, but two teams. We’ve got the Huskies. And we have the Wildcats.
The PFC has four weekends of smash-mouth football. With 6 teams in the league there’s not a lot of room to mess around.
It also means you get one more regular season game from the Wildcats and Huskies over at Clarke Park.
As for this past weekend, the Wildcats beat the Colts of Calgary 35-21.
The Huskies, umm, played the Regina Thunder.
They lost. 51-11.
The extra point is good! Sadly, the rest of the points went to the other guys.
But we don’t have to talk about that. I mean, we can talk about the Eskimos if we want to talk about weekend lossses. Am I right? (This is where I pull my collar nervously.) We can just talk about how there’s great football for $10 (kids under 12 are free).
Next home games are August 22 (Wildcats) and August 23 (Huskies).
As an aside, writing this has me thinking about who would win a fight between a wildcat and a huskie. I couldn’t find that on the Internet (yet?) but here’s a fight between a taco and a grilled cheese sandwich.
Get him. The guy with the ball!
