CFL Playoffs Game II

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers and The Montreal Alouettes will be going on Sunday. I have fond memories of watching the CFL back in the day and my dad saying "How can anyone root for a team named after a kid's song?" So this will be an easy one, I'm going with the Blue Bombers, and yes I know an Alouette is another name for a skylark. It's also a French cheese and the name of Canada's first satellite. The Alouette's web site is kind of cool equally divided in French and English with French as the main language.

The Blue Bombers were a perfect 3-0 against the Alouettes, including the last game of the season. It's going to be hard to beat someone four times in one year and twice in a row but I think the Blue Bombers can do it. Also you got to like a team that has their own theme song:

Blue Bomber Victory March

We’re proud of the Blue Bomber name, So proud of its glory and fame.We’re the best in the West And We’ll taken on the rest,When we get to the East-West game!Fight! Fight!

Let’s fight through that line,Down the field Our Blue Bomber teams never yield Let’s fight on to victory,For great is your destiny,So fight on Blue Bombers fight!

We’ll shout as you go charging by,We’ll send up our cheers to the sky.Behind you we’ll stand,You’re best in the land.And we’ll shout out our praise on high.Fight! Fight!

Let’s fight down the field yard by yard Let’s fight down the field hit ’em hard!For we want a touchdown team,And we want a chance to scream,So fight on Blue Bombers, fight!

So that's my picks for the game, now my picks for cheerleaders.

The Blue Lightning Team, sponsored by Labatt Blue (beer & cheerleaders, does it get any better than this?), has this really cool poster:

They also have the amazingly hot coach Dena:

She looks just like some chick I hit on in a bar in the 80's.

The Blue lightning have stunters like Crystal:

Who is a professional student and has gotten a concussion two years in a row at Grey Cup during a performance and kept on going! Keep going Crystal, damaging your brain won't be a problem later in life. Note to the photographer, when we look at pictures of cheer babes we don't really care who took the picture, we don't want to see DAVE over top of our girls.

They also have dancers like Mickaela:

Mickaela is an Articling Accountant / Dance Instructor, and admits to being "a bit of a nerd. I graduated high school when I was 15 years old and had a straight-A average in University, where I recently completed my Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) degree." Please tell me you are into gaming!! Maybe Fat Dragon Games can hire her as a booth babe for next years Gen Con.

Just to be fair I'm going to throw in Nadine from the Alouettes:

Nadine is a professional student and a dance teacher and hates spiders and mustard. Her motto is a quote from Einstein, “Everything happens for a reason” and “Life is like riding a bike… you have to keep moving forward or you’ll fall down” – Einstein. As a side note did you know that cheerleader in French is cheerleader?
