Keeper of the Cup takes responsibility seriously
When it comes to football, people remember the good times – and the bad.
Many Saskatchewan fans still remember where they were during “lucky” 2013; the Riders’ last Grey Cup win. Others remember begrudgingly the 2009 fiasco that was the “13th man,” and the team’s subsequent loss to the Alouettes.
To Jeff McWhinney losses like those are summed up very simply: “that’s football,” he said.
McWhinney has been given the responsibility of “Keeper of the Cup” by the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. He and the Grey Cup made a stop in North Battleford during its tour of the country Tuesday, July 19.
