The oline is really starting to piss people off. And I love it! That was one thing missing a few years ago, no attitude. QB would get hit and no one would help them up. Now...at least 2 hogs rush over to help him off the turf (not that it happens often). I love the way they've been playing and the chip they've been playing with!!
KEEP IT UP!!!!!!

I don't think he dislikes any one team. He just has an obvious soft spot for the Riders and it's plain as day when he's doing the colour commentary for their games.

1.  Sell it out anyways.....
2.  Make mincemeat out of Bovine Levi and the rest of those swine.

I don't think he hates the Bombers either but it's clear he loves the Riders. I know that makes sense given that he was one but, in my opinion, it's a bit too clear when he's calling their games.

I was at the game too, which was an awesome experience. But watching some of the game online afterwards, my favourite was when Suitor actually straight up said "Oh no." when Crapigna nailed the upright. Suitor sounded so depressed.

Speaking of coaches.

It's a turn of phrase.  He's not actually suggesting that he needs the opinion of the reporter.  Most native English speaking people would recognise that.

Yea looked nice but didn't seem as loud. 
Players, management and media said as well that IGF facilities are NFL like and state of art so looks like both cities have top notch venues.
Each one has features that are better than others but I think IGF looks better gamewise when being broadcast on TV and seating is closer and more over the field for a better viewing experience and makes it more intimate and louder.
Also from what I have heard from players who played there Saturday that they feel IGF gets louder and is more a factor
 

I think I've literally just about had it with internet Rider fans. There are quite a number of them (CalgaryRiderFan, Beacon.x, Bingo_Arms, Huff Daddy and several others whose names just elude me right now) that are tolerable, awesome guys to talk football with but man, the majority of people over at Riderfans.com are the biggest bunch of deluded dumb as a post mouth breathers I've ever encountered. It's a shame, because every year I go to Regina for every single away game we have there, the people that I meet are awesome. It's a great city to go watch a game and the fans that are invested in supporting the Riders are great to be around.
But that website is a cesspool of stupidity. The stuff I've read on that site is some of the most ridiculous nonsense I've ever imagined. Very few people on there have any clue about football as it relates to anything outside their province and trying to use any kind of reasoning with them is like talking to a doorknob. Wake up and smell the coffee, Rider fans. Your team is the worst team in the CFL, your coach is the laughing stock of the entire league and your GM somehow manages to have no clue what your head coach and defensive coordinator and media recruiting coordinator are doing, despite them all being the same person. You're using the last wear on the tires of old broken down pieces like Kevin Glenn, Jovon Johnson and Peter Dyakowski. Your coach can't stop fetishizing about the kudos he'll get if FINALLY he manages to turn a fullback into a defensive back or a tackle into a receiver and it affects the quality of your roster from top to bottom. You scout and house somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 players, yet can't find a single guy to play defensive back and somehow have to settle for convincing yourselves that Ed Gainey is serviceable. Maybe AC Leonard will stop going offside. Maybe Brenden Labatte won't get hurt for the 47th time. Maybe Henoc Muamba will stop being too fat. Maybe Duron Carter will keep his trap shut for once. Maybe Linden Gaydosh is duct taped together well enough to hold up for 3 or 4 games. Maybe Jordan Reaves will stop dealing cocaine. And maybe if all of that happens, you might have enough of a football team to piece together 7 or 8 wins this year.
Until then, know your place, shut up and enjoy the basement. I can't wait until we stomp these guys on Saturday.

I disagree. I cannot think of anything more fun in the regular season than ruining this party.Making that place go silent.
This is not wacky old Taylor Field where a historically shitty team raised up once in awhile playing in their crap stadium in the middle of nowhere. It has no history. What it has is the burden of expectation placed on the back of a bad football team. 
The Riders have a world of pressure on them without the talent to fall back on. The team, and the fans that are clear minded, know that. 
Use that against them...really looking forward to it. 
 
 
 
 
 

Sure I could imagine it, but what's the point in that?  I'd prefer to imagine a complete and total beatdown of the Riders.  I want to imagine Glenn slinking off the field after his third pick 6 with a tear slowly rolling down his cheek and muttering "it's only a game... it's only a game".  I want to imagine the Rider crowd booing lustily and having Jones standing at centre field shouting "BUT WERE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?"  I want to imagine Rod Peterson crumpled in a corner of the Rider broadcast booth, curled up in the fetal position and sobbing.  That's what I want to imagine.
And if this doesn't come to pass, then we'll deal with it later, and you know why?  Because I'd like to imagine I support my team.

Are they hanging Chris Jones in effigy already?

Chris Jones is definitely a major DB.

**** I hope we're up like 28-0 at the half, so the energy in there is just ZERO at half time. F*** those a**holes...

I held up my part of the bargain, drank beer and watched game yelling and swearing at tv. Riders did not hold up their end. This week i'll be doing it live. God we need a win. Safe travels to any of you coming down for the game

Unfortunate article picture.

I think one of the most disappointing parts of this will be the elimination of the "Local Sports Star of the Week".... that was a cool segment that featured a local amateur athlete who excelled at their sport... probably the highlight of most of those young men/women's sports career to get interviewed and get to be on TV...
But hey, I want to know more about where Kyle Lowry is going to sign!!

I was at practice this morning. Cold north wind bringing a miserable rain. The squad practiced on the field to the west of the soccer facility, due to IGF being rented for a private event. Players participated using no shoulder pads, but conducted situational drills at a very spirited and vocal pace. 
There didn't appear to be much difference between the three quarterbacks as each took a regular rotation of plays. If Davis is the second string, I couldn't argue with that. #13 Lefevour is the most physical of the three and seemed to call his own number more so than the others. That might answer who will be getting the short yardage work.  
Two noticeable D observations. #16 Loffler looks like a real leader in the D back field. #31 Mo was totally active as a full time participant. 

A lot of classy Rider fans telling Durant to go f*** himself on the rider board. Not a great way to treat a guy who won you a Grey Cup and layed it on the line night in and night out. The loss looks good on them. 

Another Rider quote:
"Calgary, Edmonton, BC, Ottawa, Hamilton all take us to the woodshed in a game like this."   You're missing a team....You'll figure it out next week Prider.  

Sask fans bitching about the final score..... Sorry but the real final score is 17-9 if it weren't for the refs blowing that Grant fumble td. Glenn decent but decent at best. Bombers win next week.
