That's right folks, the Roughriders are in E-town to face the Eskimo Empire. I know the tendency is to insert 'evil' before empire, but the Esks fans I've run into are usually a classy bunch. Hence, 'evil' is a little too strong (and yes, I realize this post is one day ahead, but considering my schedule tomorrow, this was the best opportunity).
Anyhow, regardless of the result, the Riders will still be in first place. However, I'm hoping the result is more 'in line' with the picture I posted, which is from an '06 exhibition game. Word around town is that nearly 50,000 fans will be attending the game. Usually, an Esks game draws around 30,000, so I guess that means the additional numbers are Rider fans, eh? After last year's infamous holding call on Fleming's last ever field goal in the CFL, maybe the football gods will take a shine to the Riders again and screw the empire over. Or, maybe I'm asking too much.
Well, as we say in Saskatchewan, Go Riders Go!

Here's hoping it's like last year's game - Fleming's last game. And where Chick got that beautiful TD. And where most of the Edm fans left before OT started.
Bryan Hall probably told them the game was over so they all left :)
When I told them there was still OT, they still ignored me. I guess no faith in their Eskimo team. Or maybe a bunch of em are all just "part-time fans".
