For example, Calgary has the Touchdown Horse and tailgating, Hamilton has the Osi Wa Wa Osi Wee Wee cheer. What are some traditions at the Lions game? You know you're at a Lions game when. . . .

Hope you can help!
You better get this cheer right or the TiCat fans are likely to rip your head off.

"Oskee Wee Wee, Oskee Waa Waa..."

Lions game day tradition? Its the line up at the Costco Snack Bar on Expo Drive across from the Stadium for the $1.50 hot dog and drink. Or you could just go inside the Stadium and pay $8.50 for the same.

This 3-page Canadian Geographic article — or rather, the Positively CFL sidebar accompanying it on page 1 — appears to be the one for which the OP (cangeo) of this thread came on here this past July soliciting content:

Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.
