The Moustache Cup

Eastern and Western CFL Finals concluded, Hamilton Tiger-Cats and hometown Saskatchewan Roughriders go into Regina for the 101st Grey Cup game November 24. Could Saskatchewan Tourism and Regina hoteliers and restaurateurs be any happier?

Meanwhile, what may have been overlooked in the snowy flurry of gridiron excitement is the great Movember moustache competition. Every November, athletes sprout foliage on their upper lips to draw attention to prostate cancer. Do not ask how there can be a connection.

And who this year among CFL players takes the cup for best 'stache? Eskimo QB Mike Reilly, who endured much bruising, but maintained a winning performance despite a losing team, and despite all those sacks kept a stiff upper lip and a splendid moustache on it.

Grey Cup next Sunday. Advice to the players: to paraphrase Napoleon's message to Josephine--"don't shave."
