... then we'll see who the so called leagues best fans are. I can hardly wait for the place where ancestry.com and eharmony.com are the same, to start their own 25 years of futility. It begins on the 27th!!!

Hilarious.....................

Pretty much.. lots of groan worthy comments recently

Getting back on topic ...

 

 

Wonder if the slow grey cup sales are because rider fans aren't buying this year...

Would think that most Rider fans would plan ahead of time and buy tickets right away. If they don't plan on going, they're probably selling them via resale.

 

 

 

Dildoe is a town in Newfoundland

Didn't know that. I assumed it was a dildo, like the sex toy.

 

 

Pretty good double entendre.

0 - 8 ...

I could say that the team would be providing stiff opposition and very good in the wet, but that would set off a whole chain of bad jokes.

....riders/ stamps..another game ...another loss.....Some joker over there on the riders forum says ....quote....New stadium on board and loser team...what are we the Bombers....Here's a message for you bozo.....'hey man...you are WORSE...BIG LOL

Might be a tad early to declare who is the worst team.

Amazed that Chamblin has survived this long. The guy is a horrible head coach. His huge ego & obvious chip on his shoulder have done him in.. The Riders BOD are equally as pathetic for letting things go on this long. But hey, I love watching the Riders lose. They're nearly halfway to my dream season... They go 0-18. 

The riders will beat the redblacks next week....

Let's just hope we don't give them their first win on Labour Day!

I'm betting (figuratively speaking) on a 4 and 14 season for the Riders.

Depends which Ottawa team you get.

You're probably right. That'll hopefully soften them up for the LDC and Banjo Bowl.

Winning a home Grey Cup buys you  a lot of leeway.  That's why I wouldn't be surprised if Taman is back next year.

That's what I think will happen, but Chamblin's future is far less secure.

I don't think Lawless was wrong a couple weeks back... I think he said something about Taman wanting to Fire Chamblin and having to go to the BOD to do it... It didn't happen...

 

Lawless did say that if Chamblin wasn't fired, that the likely scenario sees a house cleaning.. Taman,Chamblin all gone... I'm starting to think that's the most likely scenario there. 

 

That team isn't young, they are getting old, they don't really have many young up and coming Canadians... Yeah winning a grey cup at home buys you some leeway but... really, that's a couple years ago now.... How much leeway does it buy you when you pretty much mortgaged your future for that 1 cup win.

 

Is the idea to win 1 cup and then suck? Or is it to be contenders every year? 

Its another painful trip on the good ship Chamblin. Was a sell out but stadium was no where near full.

That's a shame.

I'm not sure what I prefer... a completely dejected but probably motivated 0-9 team... or a slightly more confident, less pressure-filled 1-8 team...

The riders will beat the redblacks next week....

Agreed. Riders have been close a couple of times and Ottawa seems to be imploding. But if the right Burris shows up, could go the other way.

That's strange. Because we don't use paid attendance; we use real attendance based on who showed up. If it wasn't full, the attendance wouldn't have showed up as 33 427.

Were you there? because I was and always am. No way there was 25k people in there. I have zero doubt it was sold out, but there is absolutely no way there 33427 in the stands

I was quite shocked this morning. Went over to read on Riderfans and was shocked to see some of their more sensible forum members now predicting a 3 game win streak starting this week. Saying it's the easiest part of their schedule? Not sure what these guys are thinking.

Denial is one thing, but even when their team is absolute crap these guys still think we are a free spot on the Bingo card. Can't wait for the LDC and BB sweep. Be even sweeter when Ottawa beats them at home too.

If the Blue sweeps the Riders I wonder if Taman then gets axed?
