LOVE?

Hey! That averages out to more than 1 per game!!!

Lol. Hey, you can do math, are you sure you're from Saskatchewan?

Hey! That averages out to more than 1 per game!!!

Eh?  (does that qualify?)

Should be a deafening series... loudest 2 games in the CFL every year. I can't imagine MOS not starting Nichols for both these games, and it's weird that Flanders is still on your practice roster...  Not going to make any predictions cause this could easily be a sweep by either team and a split is also just as likely. Should be an entertaining couple of weeks. Safe travels this weekend ya hillbillies!☺️

Wow, this thread got all tangled up in a hell of a hurry. I don't know why he had to stir the pot like that when all the OP asked was if the LDC should be given to the winner...  
Anyways, I like it the way it is, and while I agree it wasn't as fair to Bomber fans when the banjo bowl was played on the Sunday, (not even sure how many years ago that was...5?), it also sucked for Rider fans who didn't have the extra day to sleep in. I know, I know, you don't care about us lol but my point here is I think now that the BB is played on the Saturday it works out for both sides of the border.

Man... that sucks. I would have stayed out of the game after the knee blew out the first time!

Lol, I can't even tell if you're serious. It doesn't matter though. You cheer for your team, I'll cheer for mine. Good luck Sunday!

I don't like the Riders or Rider fans, and it's part of the rivalry. For me there are 2 acceptable outcomes to a CFL season. Option 1. The Bombers win a Grey up. Option 2. The Riders don't.
That said I have many more bomber fans blocked on here than Rider fans, but I find the board more tolerable without having to read what certain people are saying. From this thread it seems Rod Black is upset about something, or he's upset people. I don't know or care, I blocked him long enough ago I don't have to read any of his stuff.
There are insufferable bomber fans on forums, there are insufferable rider fans as well. My biggest issue with Rider fans is their insistence on wearing their Rider gear to non CFL events or non Rider games.
I wear a bomber jersey when I go to a bomber game. In September I'm going to an Argos/Ticats game, and I will not be wearing a bomber jersey, but I expect to see Rider jerseys. I went to an NHL game in Ottawa, lots of red and white in the stands, and a few clowns in green. Ottawa/Nashville playing hockey and you're wearing your Riders jersey. I get they can wear whatever they want, but I find it annoying. Support a team in the game being played or be neutral.
So in conclusion, screw most rider fans, and screw some bomber fans who are idiots. Basically some people suck, some of them are bomber fans, some are rider fans, some may even be driving their combine to the game sunday because it's the only transportation they have.

That's a real **** opinion if you ask me.
hah! Jokes.

Wow, this thread is pretty illuminating about the maturity level of our own Bomber fans here. Who the hell cares what a Rider/Ticat/Esikimo/whatever fan says about our team? The freaking rivalries we have are what make football fun. Friendly ribbing is a part of the game. What's really pathetic is all the whining the Bomber fans are doing here. "So and so is a troll." "So and so offended me because my mom died three years ago." What a bunch of whiny babies. Also, painting all Rider fans with the same brush is, as someone else said, ludicrous. Like any fanbase, there are those who are insightful and add value to to the discussion, and there are those who come here wanting a reaction. Guess what - there are Bomber fans like that, too.
 
Also, Rod Black, whatever your issue is, you should really get over it. It's clear that the quote of Mike's someone replied with was what the OP is referring to. It seems like you're trying to incite controversy and I cannot figure out why.
 
TL;DR: Just be decent human beings to other humans, regardless of what jersey they choose to wear on their backs. It's really not that ******* complicated.

The bottom line is, there are good fans and bad fans in every fanbase. Just because you see a handful of idiots on a sports forum, doesn't mean the entire fanbase is stupid. It is a misconception here that most Rider fans are rabid and unintelligent when the average fan is just like the rest of you, respectful, yet passionate. (I'm not saying that none of them are, but it has become a stereotype.)
I'm not here to pick fights, but fanbase bashing is petty. All it does is distract us from our own teams and it disrespects people who care about their teams and the league. I am all for rivalry; this is one of my favourite times of the year, but the point that it becomes obsessive is when it has gone too far. There have been some bad trolls here who don't have any business posting on this site, but at the same time almost everyone new who attempts to show respect and have a good conservation gets shot down instantly. Not every Rider fan comes here to bash the other team and boast about their own. 

Sorry about your dad. Hang in there.

Sorry you feel that way. Seems like you've grouped every single Rider fan all together and simply passed judgement. I personally have never given you any reason to think I'm some ignorant fan who insists you love me or the Riders. I'm simply here to chat about football because the next two weeks is kind of rivalry time. If certain people in here want to blindly hate me just because I'm a Rider fan than that's ok, (sticks and stones) but in reality all you're doing is sounding exactly like the kind of person you describe Rider fans to be. I have lots of friends who are Bomber fans and we have a great time with the rivalry. What you need to understand is that there are people who cheer for other teams out of the Bomber universe, and some of us may pop on here from time to time and voice an opinion other than your, and that should be ok. If I were coming on here and trolling like a **** then by all means, light me up and kick me out of here. 

I'm not sure what you think you are entitled to here or how the OP is a sermon.   This is message board, he posted an opinion that you weren't even singled out in.  No one needs to justify why they would make a post like that.  If you would have taken half the time it took you to post all these demands that people do your work for you to look up a  post and just looked it up yourself, you would have found it by now.
Posters who prove themselves to be trolls will always be banned, regardless of who they are and where they come from.  
I have always appreciated the perspective that other fan bases bring to a site like this, and would hope we could attract more to expand the community.
And I get the Riders are a Bomber rivalry and there is always going to be a back and forth between the two fan bases that is to be expected, but I'm with Mike on this one.   The behaviour of some posters here is down right embarrassing,  The exact same kind of crap that I see at Rider Fans and shake my head at.  

I partied with Riders fans at a bunch of Grey Cups. Most of them are just good folks who love their team. Not much different than most of the CFL fans.

Probably back in the days of lead plumbing and mad emperors.
Lead (Pb) = plumbums
I'll just leave you with that image...

Lol, that's actually pretty funny. I never knew that. Well played. Well played. Maybe my ancestors were plumbers. 

Personally I wish that the nice Rider fans were treated with a little more respect, because it makes it tough to roll my eyes at the people at RF who do it to me when everyone here is doing it to.
i'm all for rivalry and pointing out when Rider fans are being douchy, but at the same time ... some aren't so bad.
 
looking forward to leaving to go watch the game Saturday! 

Lol, that's actually pretty funny. I never knew that. Well played. Well played. Maybe my ancestors were plumbers. 

This is really a hard game to predict an outcome. Naturally Rider fans are going to say the Riders will win and Bomber fans are going to say The Bombers are going to win.. (for the most part anyways). Truthfully, I have no idea how this game will turn out, Bombers are hot, no doubt about it, and the team is playing with confidence. The Riders on the other hand, are what I believe to be a much improved team than what they were at the beginning of the season, and while not on a streak like the Bombers are, do have a couple of confidence building wins and hopefully take that onto the field Sunday. (just not over confident lol) 
I think each team has certain advantages over the other.. you guys have a better qb in my opinion, and at this point of the season, I think our defense is playing a little better than yours. That being said, the guys in your secondary are pretty quick to the ball when it's thrown. Is home field an advantage for us? I would say probably, even though you guys took the first game from us at Mosiac. I'm pretty sure it will be loud and the noise will cause a few mistakes for Nichols. Might just come down to who want's it most lol. Regardless of the outcome, looks like it's going to be a good couple of weekends of spewing mud back and forth. 

Alright, good point. I guess being the visitor on this site I need to figure out the line between trolling and good old fashioned jabbing.  Like I said, I'm not here to troll, too old for that crap. Just seeing how we have our back to back games coming up, thought it may be a good time to jump in.
