Football

Dad really, really enjoyed football.  He was a staunch supporter of the Hilltops, Huskies, Roughriders, Chargers and earlier the Vikings.  He also was an avid player, and played in many a weekend "pick-up" game at the Cumberland park in Saskatoon.  He was particularly dangerous on the hook and post patterns.  He attended many of my high school football games.

When I went home in October to check on things I walked into the house and Dad had two different footballs games playing at the same time.  He didn't have the best hearing.  He was watching the Roughriders on tv, and he had the stereo on downstairs tuned to the local am radio station that carried the Huskies games.  The decibel level was unbelievable!  I was able to tune in the game on his mac so he could listen to both without blowing the windows out of the house.
