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.
