Rain will have stopped. Just have to dress for a cool windy day, no big deal. Looking forward to the game and a loud crowd.

Saskatchewan Roughriders and their losing downward spiral irelevant to TSN. In their eyes its a 8 team league 2015. Contractually bound to show today's game.

Breckenridge starting as a linebacker. This board has been filled with comments about Breckenridge's lackluster play at safety. It only took our "Great Coach" seven games and a week off to figure it out.

Word on Dewdney Avenue last night for today's game is the referees have been instructed to slant the penalty calls against the Stampeders to give the Roughriders a chance to win their first game of the season as they are a total embarrassment to the league.
