Sheets didnt have the greatest of games, but when the fans bark "pass" the Riders ask, "How much?". Im not turning on any form of media today so I dont have to listen to all these bleacher coaches. Its easy to coach from the stands... I always say, when August come around, everyone in Sask is a football coach... too bad most of them know nothing.  |
I think the Riders are going to turn it around. I must say, no love loss for the Riders, but I like Darian Durant. I think he is a great quarterback that gets a lot of flak because of where he plays.
The Football team here was inexplicably named the "Senators" from 1925-1930. Capitalize on the Silver Seven's success? But our "Rough Riders" came from 1898, and our team colours were straight from Roosevelt's regiment in the Spanish American war!
