Put on a brave face and keep your chin up. And, you might consider a mouth guard and a helmet. They have no mercy. They are Canadian football fans who choose not to support Canada's team, our team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
They're having a field day with us on social media. They're laughing and pointing fingers; ridiculing our players and we fans. One Stampeders fan posted a funny today reminding Rider fans that our team is "O" and 5. The "O" is a nice, round watermelon.
Yes, the Saskatchewan Roughriders are 0 and 5. We lost both pre-season games as well. Rider Nation has not tasted victory since last football season. It was November 8th of last year. We beat Edmonton 24-17 in the final regular season game and then lost to those Eskimos in the playoffs. Interesting, before that aforementioned win, we had lost 5 in a row. So, including exhibition and playoffs, our team has lost 10 of their last 11 games.
You know that old saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going"?
Ya. I don't think our team is going anywhere.
