New post up!

Hey everyone!

Thanks to some super quiet kids, I was able to get my new rider blog up and running.

Introducing...

The Rider Report!

Click here to go there.

For the next bit I'll keep updating this blog whenever I post to the new one.

So check out my post-game report at The Rider Report!

Peace out.

Addendum to previous post

Just FYI... I'm thinking of breaking off the Rider posts into their own separate blog. So keep checking here for updates until I figure where and how and when to do that.

I'll also have a round up and possibly some smack talk after the game. There's always smack talk after a game with B.C.

This is it!

The moment Rider Nation has been waiting for since the players walked off the field in Toronto hoisting the Grey Cup has finally arrived. In just about 2 hours the stadium in Regina will fill with anxious, raucous Rider fans. (Like when are we not raucous?).

This is fans first glimpse of the new Rider team. There are still a few of those that tasted champagne from the Grey Cup last year (or was it beer?), but so much has changed.

I've been keeping my eyes open for roster reports and I gotta say... the Green is in deep.

We've got new guys all over the place, including our quarterback, and a new headcoach. Such things would be considered difficult obstacles to be sure, but last report I heard had the following vets NOT suiting up tonight...

Henri Childs, receiver Matt Dominguez (Crap! Can't wait to see him back in action!), offensive linemen Jeremy O'Day (crap!) and Mike Abou-Mechrek (I like him!), linebacker Maurice Lloyd and defensive backs James Johnson and Eddie Davis (No ED? ACK!).

So... um... like there's still a team left to play right?

I checked. Congi is kicking. Crandell is tossing.

Basically, I'll be cheering for the guys wearing green and white. Albeit not by name... ("Yo, number 16! get that guy!").

So scream loud and scream hard Rider fans. I think the newbies are gonna need to hear us roar!

And in regards to B.C. I for one am excited to see Wally Buono back in Riderville. I'm a little low on my quota for trash talk, so I'm sure he'll oblige me. Here's hoping the big fat dish of revenge they've got ready to serve up to the Green and White gets shoved back in their face! Remember, this is the team that was supposed to win the Grey Cup last year, but lost to a hungry Rider team on their way to a storybook ending.

Anyone wanna call the first sack of the year? I say 97 John Chick.

Final Countdown

In exactly one week the Saskatchewan Roughriders will take to Taylor field in what could be called the revenge match against the B.C. Lions.

7 days.

And can you believe The Hubby has a golf tournament that day?

The nerve!

Hopefully, he can wrap things up before game time.

In the meantime, tomorrow, the Green Team will be at Griffith Stadium in Toon Town to indulge all of us fans who happen to live north of Davidson. Get yer autographs and watch them work out.

I'd love to but that would involve breathing air overloaded with allergens and lately my body does not appreciate such things.
