Aww, it's no fun hollering and weeping alone in a PC-Bang.

I sent this link to my Dad, who not only knew all the answers to the trivia questions (the man is a walking encyclopedia) but noted:

Quote:
the fellow who said the Riders had only won 2 Grey Cups in �7-odd decades� is incorrect. We have only won 2 Cups in 97 years. The Riders were founded in 1910.


I suppose I'm a terrible traitor, since I lived in Winnipeg from age 5 to age 25 but I desperately want the Riders to win. Both my parents and most of my grandparents are from Saskatchewan (though my dad's dad moved to BC and has become a Lion's fan-- understandable, perhaps not forgiveable.)

Embarassed Oh, your pa's right , kermo. The Regina Rugby Club goes back to pre-WW I. Then Regina Roughriders, w/the nickname. After WW II, "Regina" became "Saskatchewan."

So, it's 2 Cups in 97 freakin' years?! Keerist, that smarts!

Trivia...who won the CIAU Presidents Trophy (Top defensive player in the country) and played 2 seasons for the Green Riders?

North Side Sucks...BRILL! Those were great days...the bangers up top making all that noise on those metal bleachers! Those were the days. The old Nightmares on Bank Street!

Bring back the Gades and get a winning product on the field. The CFL is a great game and I hope it only gets stronger.

Paul Frlan....hell of a CIAU player...

I got this in my inbox today.Not sure about the author, but will post the name when I find out...

�Twas The Night Before Grey Cup


(JEM)



Twas the night before Grey Cup, and all through the Dome,

Not a creature was stirring, but the gophers back home.

The players were nestled and snug in their beds,

While visions of Grey Cup Rings danced in their heads.



When out on the field, there arose such a clatter,

Kent sprang from his bed to see what was the matter,

Away to his window, he flew like a flash,

Threw aside the Green Curtains, and Silky White Sash.



And what did he see with his wondering eye?

But a sea of Green Revelers and a furry brown guy.

�That looks like Dominguez, and Flick and Fantuz!�

�Its way after curfew! Do they want us to lose??�



So, out of his room and down to the field,

Coach Austin stormed out with a fury to wield.

As he went through the tunnel, the ground shook with a beat,

From the dancing and prancing of ten thousand feet.



�Hey Coach,� cried a voice, �Whatcha doing down here?�

It was Szarka and Schultz, and they were handing out beer!

Chucky and Chick were grilling up Dogs,

With Burgers being served by O�Day and the Hogs.



Crandall cooked Hot Wings, Joseph grilled steak,

While Cates, Holmes, and Hughes helped Makowsky serve cake.

�This is nuts!� Austin shouted, �It�s one-thirty AM!�

�I expected some revelry, but this is mayhem!�



Eric Tillman tapped Austin, � You�re not Eagle Keys -�

�But I�m not Berry, or Gotta, or Gregory � so PLEASE!�

�You�re all waddling around here like Wascana geese!�

�And in need of a dance coach like Donald Narcisse.�



�Now, you�ve all had your fun, so back to your rooms.�

But then Austin�s nose picked up the barbecue fumes.

Then Green Is The Color rang out through the air,

As Congi and Boreham played Banjos with flair.



On Davis, on Johnson, on Coach Ritchie Hall,

Even old Alex Smith flashed a smile after all,

On Lloyd, on McCullough, on Hunt and on Perry,

On Kornegay, Frazier, and yes, even Kerry.



The skydome then filled with a soft greenish glow,

And the whole Rider Nation set poised for a show.

An S and a wheat sheaf then formed in the air,

And a smile took the place of Coach Kent Austin�s glare.



Then everyone there, the players, the fans,

They formed a big circle by all holding hands,

Then right in the centre appeared the Grey Cup,

Which Fairholm and Ridgway and Elgaard picked up.



They handed it over to Ritchie and Kent,

Who called Kerry and Eddie, and off the Cup went.

It was passed round the field, past heroes to present,

While Gainer dug holes for the Blue Bomber Pheasants.



That music was heard coast to coast people say

And they say Rider Pride grew three sizes that day.

Everyone left there dreaming of Blue Bomber doom.

And they sent all the Banjos to Troy Westwood�s Room.





GO RIDERS GO!

BRING HOME THE CUP!



Dedicated to the Fine Folks in the Rider Nation!

For the poor schmucks like me that have a full-on Monday morning, I humbly request that anyone watching the game on webcast post quarterly scores on this thread.

Go Riders!

It's about time the Riders are back in the finals--it's been a long time since '89 (I prefer to forget the one against the Argos). A friend and I are going to the Grey Cup game and today I'll be searching for a watermelon and face paint to complete the outfit. I wish they sold those square Japanese watermelons here--that would make a statement.

I wish Glenn was playing to make it more interesting, but what can you do. Needless to say I'll be calling in sick on Monday. Wink

Here is the site I watched the cfl all season and other sports and fox ABC, NBC. http://www.channelsurfing.net/

Damn I wish I was in Toronto this weekend. The game is 100% sold out at the sky dome. All the boxes are filled. They had to renovate some of the executive boxes they have not used in years for the game. Toronto will be rocking.

I'm a ticat fan I know I know next year Laughing

Lets go riders

A Ticat? There's nothing a Rider fan likes more than a Ticat fan. I have three words for you: nineteen eighty nine.
Exhibit A: one bottle of Yellow Tail Merlot
Exhibit B: Ashes of effigies burned in said year.
