The entire week will be focused on Zachs ankle but he sounded quite confident it won't be a factor for next Sunday. Know of any other bodies we may have back?Houston? How do we match up vs Toronto?

All he had to do was not turn the ball over 5 times...

Guess what he did?

In fairness, one of those interceptions...a pick 6 no less...was not an interception.

One day contract with the Bombers. Retire.

 

Based on the number of tickets for sale for the game, it seems everyone and their grandma/aunt/cousin is dumping their seats.

 

Did they REALLY think the Riders were going to be there? 

The ironic (don't know if that's the right word to use here), is some Rider fans won't be going not only because their team isn't there, but also because they are currently pissed with their team in the direction it's heading.

They were all in! They had former west mop* Cody Fajardo at qb! If only they knee brace wasn't there...

During presser this morning, Andrew Harris says he believes it will be a very pro-Argos crowd, with all the Riders fans in attendance (not sure about that...) and also that while he'd still like to play next year, he is "mulling over his future" at this point...

They’ve lost to us 7 straight times, you’d think they’d want to cheer for a winner for once. 
 

We feel right at home there - whether they cheer for us or not

yes, they did... which is the best part about how terrible the team actually was

He hurt his knee?!!

Hilarious, Migs started his 2nd thread in as many days about how much he hates the Bombers and their fans. Probably because we bring facts to counter his fiction.

Rider fans may hate Harris more than they hate us.

there's definitely something to that... flip the script and the Riders are going for the third straight GC in Winnipeg (sorry... just needed a minute to stop laughing before I can continue this analogy)... you can guarantee we'd all be Argo fans for a week

But I'm not sure we'd be at the game, is the thing....

Maybe not. Hatred of Toronto is kind of a Western Canada thing. And although those that hate Sask REALLY hate Sask, I think some (not all) could at least respect a good Sask team and their loyal fans over a non-entity like the Argos and the media love-in to make them and their dozens of fans and NFL-wannabe owners relevant for one game. If Winnipeg hosted the Stanley Cup finals would we choose to cheer for divisional and geographic rival Minnesota over the Maple Leafs (apples to oranges a bit I know)?

Nah, I couldn't cheer for the Riders.

Jake Thomas starting at QB. We are cooked.

Is the game even sold out?

It was. There are some seats that have become available and a TON of resale tickets. 

 

 

At this point ZC doesn’t need to practice to be the starter.

 

I would never cheer for the RIders. EVER. I would rather gouge my own eyes out. If it came down to the scenario where the Riders were playing against Toronto here in Winnipeg for the Cup, I would attend and cheer for no one and just soak up the Grey Cup atmosphere. Spend a few bucks at the Rum Hut, hope for a good halftime show, and just more or less not pay much attention to the game. Visit with fellow season ticket holders etc. 

I would suspect that many of the Rider fans at the game in Regina will feel the same as I do. Revel in the Grey Cup atmosphere and cheer for good football from both teams. I don't suspect that many of the Rider fans will be overly invested in the game one way or another.
