Oskee wee wee indeed!!! What an amazing game in Tiger Town last night. Nice to get a win, and a win at home to boot! That game should spark a sold out labor day crowd!

A Beautiful Night for Football - A Call to the Media to Inspire
With the birth of ABeautifulNightforFootball.com, my blog has all but been forgotten the past couple of weeks.
Things are heating up with the website. Photos are coming in from all over Canada, everyone is excited about the ABNFF project, and football fans are offering various services to help make this project a success.
There is still so much to do with the website, but keep checking back as I constantly work to make the site something you'll want to check out every day.
I have photographs from every CFL city except for Calgary now, so stay tuned for links to the remaining cities. I am hoping to have some photographs from last nights thriller in Calgary soon as well.
For now, please visit www.abeautifulnightforfootball.com for this weeks story.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Larry.

A Beautiful Night for Football - A New Generation (Part III)
It's game day again, and the Cats are back in town.
After an amazing experience in Toronto last week, watching our Cats clobber the Argoooos, I am looking forward to returning to my favorite sports venue - and this evening proves to be a special one.
As I mentioned last week, I plan on taking my 20 month old daughter to her first Tabbies game. I have been keeping an eye on the weather, but it looks a little hit and miss tonight. There is an 80% chance of thundershowers - 1-3mm, although it's going to be 28 and it will feel like 34 with the humidity.
There is your Lawrence Thomas weather report for this evening.
Anyway, the tickets are purchased and either way, I'll be there ready for whatever the evening deals me.
I have made a couple of lists for tonights game. I want to make sure my daughters 1st experience at Ivor Wynne is a memorable one. First on my list - a cell phone.
If it's pouring before we leave, obviously this segment of my series will have to be postponed to the next afternoon game. Preferably September 6th vs. BC, as opposed to a little colder October 4th vs. Montreal. If we make it to the game and umbrellas and rain coats and rain boots aren't enough to keep my little girl comfortable, I will call my wife to come save her. I may stay.
If weather forces us to postpone our daddy-daughter date, I have a back-up angle planned for tonights story.
I will leave you with my two lists - as they stand now.
Please check this posting within the next couple of days for the link to this article. For those of you who are on Facebook, you can click on the Facebook bar at the bottom of this blog to read my story when it's available. For those of you who are still fighting the urge to sign up for this online class reunion, I will post the link to my article on this blog when I upload it.
Have a great day, and stay tuned for part III of this series. Go Cats Go!

A Beautiful Night for Football - The Series
It's football season again. Canadian football that is.
I don't write about sports much anymore. Not because I don't love sports, but because it's not always easy to find inspiration in an era where more often than not, money is what drives the spirit - not the love of the game.
There are some things that are very dear to me however, and Canadian football is one of them. Don't get me wrong, I love the NFL too, but if it came time to choose, I would choose the only professional sport that we can still call Canadian. The CFL.
After the Hamilton Tiger-Cat season opener, I was inspired to write a story. With the threat of the NFL coming to Canada, I suddenly felt the urge to do my part to save this team - this league.
Part one of the series, A Beautiful Night for Football, can be found on my Facebook page. (see the link at the bottom of this blog) Part two, A Beautiful Night for Football - In Toronto, has just been released as well.
Part 3, A Beautiful Night for Football - The Next Generation, will be out next week; . Part 3 will be special.
