WOOT WOOT!! The Riders won the West Final!! WOOT WOOT!!
Next stop: Toronto.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders put on an absolutely dominating performance tonight over the B.C. Lions. Although the score was only 26-17, the Riders controlled the ball for the whole game and capitalized on B.C. turnovers, scoring 16 points off of 4 turnovers. The Riders now have a date in Toronto with the East Champion Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Nov. 25 to decide who will be the Grand Pubah of the CFL. The Riders are making their first appearance in the Grey Cup since 1997 and are gunning for their first championship since 1989. The Bombers were last in the finals in 2001 and celebrated their last championship in 1990.
This is the game that everyone thought, wished, hoped, dreamed and prayed would happen since the middle of the season. A meeting of the best rivalry in the CFL. It will be Labour Day x100.
That would have been the case next Sunday except for one little glitch, Bombers QB Kevin Glenn broke his arm today in the East Final. Glenn will not be able to play in the final on Sunday. Glenn is the reason that Winnipeg made it this far this year. Without him the Bombers are going to be shot down by the heavy artillery of the Riders. Saskatchewan is going to roll all over them next weekend. It will be embarassing to watch for any Bomber fan. You might as well just hand the Riders the cup now and start the parade tomorrow. You heard it hear first folks: Riders win 95th Grey Cup.
Final Score: SK 38 -- WIN 13
