Abandoned Stuff by Saskboy

The Roughriders are dealing with more than their share of broken legs and other serious injuries. Rod’s blog has a photo of the new Rider vehicle - an ambulance painted green and white.
The loss on Thursday night wasn’t unbearable, since we actually started scoring touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Before that, our offense was held to an average of 1 point for each of the previous 5 quarters. I was seriously worried that we were going to be beaten worse than Hamilton whipped Toronto the same night.

Also injurious to the Riders was TSN’s handling of the blackout on Thursday night’s Rider game. CBC caught widespread condemnation for their failure to broadcast a chunk of last year’s Blackout Bowl at Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field. On Thursday, many TSN customers were unable to watch the first half of the Rider game (told to me by a couple sources who don’t live in Regina, but live in the province). When will TSN and the CFL admit that blackouts are a disastrous marketing approach to selling football tickets and the league to fans?

Ottawa’s football team imploded years ago. And now some of their stadium has too. I’ve sat in the bleachers above the part they knocked down, for the Renegades’ opening game against the Riders. The Riders won that contest :-) much to my delight.
