Funny, usually at this point of the year......  I should be stridently pointing out,  in meticulous detail,  how the organization is not living up to my perceived standards, and what should be done about it.....then watching feathers fly....

 

Also pretty strange.....

 

Not wondering if the coach or GM is going to be fired

Knowing who our QB will be

Watching us resign key players in a timely manner

Knowing we are coming off a WINNING season

Observing that people seem to actually want to play here

Having actual roster depth, visible to the naked eye

 

Combine that.... with all this organizational stability, from top to bottom, these days.....just don't know what to do with myself

Not like say, Riderfans....where they are busy riding the whirligig.

Oh well, back to the default gin option....and a timely nap.

Hmmm you may have to become a Riders fan in the off-season...?

Don't think they would have me....given my propensity for laying out the blunt facts.

Hows that 26 year streak without a grey cup going? I wouldn't worry so much about the Riders season as its a new season and anything can happen in the CFL.

The Grey Cup drought is all you Rider fans have left to cling on to. After all, you mentioned it twice in one week. Lord help you should we end that drought soon. Then what? You'd have to concentrate on all things Rider.- Hey, I think I understand now. That is all you have.

Yes anything can happen....Like winning 6 more GC to catch up to the Bombers

How many Grey cups have the Riders won? Four? We've won 10 & you've had 26 years to catch up. Epic Fail.

LOL 4 cups in 100 years?  What a pathetic franchise!!!!!!

 If he was in the least bit entertaining, that would be one thing, but seeing that he's not even that, is there some reason that we don't punt this Kluchk troll to the curb?

anything can happen in the CFL, but it's not random, when you have a lunatic in charge who doesn't like having veteran qbs around it's pretty easy to guess what will happen, here's a hint, it won't be fun for you guys in riderville.

No no no. Believe, have faith in the process or whatever the he** Brandon Bridge twittered out.

Brandon Bridge is better than James Franklin. Don't believe me, check out the thread on Riderfans.com.

Yes anything can happen in the CFL....just not likely for the riders.....You do have a nice new stadium and you can begin work on the '10 Cups to three' catch-up scenario...I just don't see it in your lifetime though

I'll start it off DOD, fire Ritchie Hall, the game has passed him by.

I thought you were joking..... you were not!!! 

what really is strange is we arent reliant on getting FAs to turn out team around. That and we have the majority of our core locked up.

I will have to take your word on that. Reading anything on that site gives me a headache.

Listening to the Rider fans babble on about how Chris Jones has a secret plan while proclaiming that Jake Waters is a " viable option" as a starting QB is all the entertainment I need.

What I'm not allowed to have an opinion. Is another fan from a different organization not allowed on this forum? I'm not trolling. I'm simply making discussion. Grow a pair.

Snide insult aside, Kluchk has a point. Lets show a little class and humour around here, otherwise casual lurkers will think we are ex-pat Riders.

If a fan of another team wants to come on here and engage in intelligent discussions, I'm all for that.  We do have a few that do.  Kluchk does not do this.  He shows up when he's decided that we're being mean to the Riders (imagine that, on a Bomber Board.  Who'da thunk it) and whines that we're meanies.  Then he let's us have it with that 26 years and no cup zinger that just hurts us all so bad, even though we've heard it like 13 times (or was it 12, numbers are hard ya know).  Again, if he trolled with some style, if he was at all entertaining, it would be fine.  Alas though, it is not.  His writing is bland, without colour or texture.  He's a troll. but worse, he's a boring troll.  Ain't nothing worse than a boring troll.

Now having said all that, I will give him credit.  Most of the time, he writes in complete sentences.  And being from Saskatchewan and having that level of education, I'm thinking that we're dealing with Brad Wall, or first banjo of the Regina Symphony.  Either way, Regina royalty!

I was amazed that many Riderfans are siding with Jones and trashing Durant???  They are now claiming that he has always been an average qb???

He's already been punted once, but being a wily Riderfan he's managed to rearrange the spelling of his name around "klutz" to cleverly fool our administrators.
