Tbh RE: Harris ejection, it seems there are two sets of rules for players... If you are an All Star (i.e. Harris) you aren't gonna get ejected. What he did definitely warranted it. Reminds me of Vernon Adams Jr. Attempting to hit Bighill with his helmet last year when Montreal came back against us and we lost in spectacular fashion (but also clinched a playoff spot)

He also is tied for the most games played (6) and has the most attempts (31) though bc of our stellar defense...

I mean, if you want to go full butterfly effect, they may have only lost the Banjo Bowl by 2 touchdowns. Hell, they may have even scored double digits.

People on here rip on Nelson alot but there are two things he does more consistently than anyone else (1) Catch it consistently (2) Catch it in the air (which helps with No Yards calls, especially the 15 yard variety

Lol maybe Toronto can do everyone a favour next week and they'll go from "undefeated plan the parade" to "uhoh, we're a .500 team"

Meh, who cares if we are underrated. Let the Rider fan base be fat and happy. I am fine with everyone not giving us credit where it is due. Pretty sure TSN still hasn't comprehended pur manhandling of the Ti-Cats in the 2019 Grey Cup

HH to the entire Roughrider coaching staff for having such an undisciplined team that took massive penalties at crucial junctures in that game.

Imagine being so bad you have to juice up to record 2 defensive tackles and get spanked by your rivals in your own barn last week lol.

2021 (??) CFL Season
Sure...even then though... That would incrementally have increased the bombers score by +4 (TD+PAT instead of FG) which would have made the differential only a 6 pt win... Which, in the CFL is still pretty close...

2021 (??) CFL Season
Yep. They're 1-4, but lady luck has not been on their side. Of their losses, only the 32-20 loss to the Elks was by more than a touchdown.

Over-doing ripping on the Rider fan base after such a dominating performance... What a wonderful problem to have.

So much this. People seem to forget we've run some great kickers out of town the last few years, Hajrullahu being the most obvious one... who ironically lots of people here are clamoring to sign. No place for this...Just wanted to point out that even Rider fans can't even be a-holes right... sounds like they got the wrong address.

This is more indicative of the faults and pitfalls of using average as a metric as opposed to Rider ineptitude.

LDC Week Practice Notes
Alright this bothered me. Just how many people can say they won a Grey Cup with Saskatchewan? I looked it up... and the Riders' have won the Grey Cup 4 times... Unofficial roster player totals and a breakdown by year is provided below: 1966 - 37 players (2) 1989 - 53 players (3) 2007 - 77 players (4) 2013 - 71 players (5) Total: 238, less instances of same player with multiple wins (7) = 231 people Only 231 people! To put that in perspective 553 people have reached Earth's orbit (5) Sources (1) https://www.statscrew.com/football/roster/t-CFLSSK/y-1966 (2) https://www.statscrew.com/football/roster/t-CFLSSK/y-1989 (3) https://www.statscrew.com/football/roster/t-CFLSSK/y-2007 (4) https://www.statscrew.com/football/roster/t-CFLSSK/y-2013 (5) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_space_travelers_by_nationality#cite_note-1

Lock of the Week 5
Lets go with Kyran Moore. Not because I think he'll score, but because I picked Huff last week and it worked out well for him lol

Lock of the Week 4
Well this aged spectacularly. My boy Huff had himself a game ... 6/7 on 92 yards, no TDs and a massive lost fumble. Huzzah!

Also, for anyone else wondering... within the 3-minute warning. (Before the end of 1st half, or in final 3 minutes) a time count violation results in (1) If it is 1st or 2nd down, it results in either a loss of down, or a 10 yard penalty with the down repeated or (2) If it is 3rd down, a loss of 10 yards. The refs weren't trying to job us.
