Edmonton Eskimos - Grey Cup Champions

I was not able to attend the Grey Cup game in Winnipeg this year but settled down to watch it, in front of my TV.  The Ottawa Redblacks jumped out to a 13-0 lead before the Eskimos offence even got the ball.  A touchdown on the opening drive followed by a fumble recovery and another touchdown.  After that the Eskimos settled down and started to play.  By half time the Eskimos were clinging to a one point lead.  Ottawa took the lead back in the second half but then Edmonton's league leading defence shut things down.  A late touchdown by Edmonton decided the game by a score of 26-20.  After a decade without winning the Eskimos are finally bringing the Grey Cup home.  I'm glad that I chose this season to invest in seasons seats and really enjoyed making it out to most of the games.  Now I'm really looking forward to getting back into the stands next season and cheering on the Green and Gold as we defend the championship...!!
