Guess they finally found a line to draw in the sand, eh Steve?

Yeah. Kind of... I give Magna a lot of credit though making this event into something that is wholly successful and widely anticipated. When introduced, I thought it was silly and gimmicky. It IS silly and gimmicky, but they promoted it right, and pushed the TV coverage, and made it into a fun day that fans, players and horsemen look forward to.

The problem was the first half. The only thing that went our way was the kick out of bounds call.

and they'll be back. and they WILL win the big one. (to the bs thread this goes ) Took Cowher 14 years and it looked like he never was going to, but he did.


ps. srry for the thread jack

The timing of the event is ideal, as it sits between the true kick-off on the Derby trail and the the holiday season. So there was a lull, and they filled it. If it were mid-July, it would have stopped after one year.
