Down in Minot this weekend and apparently the Sleep Inn does not have ESPN3 and/or is not showing the game tonight. Anyone else down here who might have some insight? Hotel wifi is pretty slow so don't think streaming is a realistic option…
Local bar that caters to Canadian customers?
BC Lions 'ringer' Buck Pierce has arrived just In time for the 2013 CFL play-offs.
Riders need to shut down the Old Corn Dog and avoid turn-overs if they hope to pull off a win today.
Almost at the end of the 1st half & the tiger kitties getting eaten raw again! What's up with that?
I'll tell you,
Oskee Wee Wee,
Oskee Waa Waa,
Holy Makinaw,
Eat'em RAW !
Bradbury refing our game? Yikes! I sure would like to know how many Rider games he has refereed this season. About 1 out of every 3?

There are not many head ref’s in the CFL to begin with, at least it isn’t Proulx. It isn’t necessarily the head ref who is screwing up all the time, but they seem to catch all the flak. I guess thats why they get the extra pay on their check and get to wear the special coloured hat.
Remember the idiot who said CJ Gable was as good if not better than sheets….
Patience grasshopper, patience. Hamilton Tiger Cats will be playing for the Grey Cup at Regina guaranteed !
And it won't have anything to do with Gable
Hamilton Tiger Cats play as well oiled disaplined overall cohesive team unit on both sides of the ball. There's no " I " on their club like the Saskatchewan Roughriders me me me kory sheets.
On the menu after the fame will be Cornish On The Cob. Riders 27 Stumps 23. Go Riders
Road to Grey Cup goes through Cow-Town this season.
Does everyone know what time it is? It's time for another edition of…… "I'm right and you're wrong stupid".
Typical game where the Riders cannot execute plays. Also typical after another week of "blah..blah…we need to execute"
Here we go…Riders 3rd turnover of the game.aaaaaaaannnndddd…nothing.
Fumble recovery gift on Calgary's 5 yard line.
Durant's classic throw into the 5th row.
Durant fumbles.
Yet another red zone field goal.
What kind of crap you calling Cortez?
Pathetic.
First and Goal on the Five and we don't give sheets the ball once? What is up with this play calling?
Time to send chamblin, durant and sheets the hell out of here.
Sheets having a temper tantrum…. lol
Entering the Red Zone again.
Field goal coming up…again.
I can't watch this s-h-i-t anymore
Durant, I'm usually in your corner, but man, you suck.
Week 17.
Red zone field goals absolute perfection.
Useless is what Cortez is.
Please do not bring him back next year. He's old and the game has passed him by.
All this talent and it's pee wee offence.
