Rider Pride

Forwarded to me from a friend:

After living a full life, Doug Berry, the (once) Winnipeg Blue Bomber coach, died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around.

They came to a modest little house with a faded Blue Bomber flag in the window. "This house is yours for eternity," said God. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here."

Doug felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house.

On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a gorgeous white and green three-story mansion with a 50-foot tall flagpole with an enormous Saskatchewan Roughrider flag, and in every window, he could see Saskatchewan fans.

Doug looked at God and said, "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was a good coach, ran a clean program, took the Bombers to the Grey Cup, and came close to winning a national championship."

God said, "So what do you want to know, Doug?"

Doug asked: "Well, why does Ken Miller, the Saskatchewan coach, get a better house than me?"

God chuckled and said, "Doug, that's not Ken's house; that's mine."
