Ah! I would strongly suggest to you to return or join riderfans.com.  You would feel right at home there.  And as an added  bonus, subscribe to the Rod Pisterson's  blog for your enjoyment. I sense you are not welcomed here. 

The riders still suck and you should feel bad cheering for them.

Our team goes the way our defence goes. When the defence is hot the offence seems to follow suit.
I hope we can serve our Eastern critics crow and steel sandwiches.  Otherwise, we can always hire some RF guys to chant the "Refs Suck"  litany. 

What amazes me is the number of Rider Fans who forgot that period and talk like the good days will last forever. A few bad years and it takes its toll.

**** happens!

You're right, O'Shea is not stupid but man is he ever boneheaded!

Willy suffers from D-line shock.

On the bright side, we could win against any team  but MOS has to take control of the defence. Did he not say he would?
Got to love that Demski!  Seeing a #10 doing things sure felt good. The replacement what a sight to see.

And you're reason for trusting Jones is what now?

Well if you want any of them to succeed someone is going to have to get more reps in practice and have a gameplan designed for them.  Ross is very different from the other two IMO.

We still have Dressler, you cut Owens

We signed Dressler. You guys signed Owens.
Say no more.

Somehow things really do not look all that bad. BC played their top two receivers a lot against our hopefuls. Our QB's were without what might be the best Oline in the country. Add Harris and our regular receivers and our offence will still miss Nicholls but we'll be OK.

So how does Bighill look?  Slow and fat I would assume.
