This might be the most excited I've been about a Riders season opener since moving to Saskatchewan in the early 90's. Even more excited than the years I was part of the CKRM broadcast crew as host of the pre-game show. Why, you ask?
Several reasons:
1) This edition of the Riders has as much talent as any previous Saskatchewan team in at least the past 15 years.
2) It's absolutely essential for the Riders to blast out of the gate, especially with four of the first five games against division rivals from B.C. and Calgary.
3) This is the first year Jacob and I have purchased season tickets together (okay, so maybe the kid didn't chip in much $, but still).
4) The team has to do well, or Rod Pedersen's expensive new mane (that'd be hair) will fall out!
So, tonight it'll be TSN on the big screen - with the audio provided by Rod and Carm via CKRM - and an entire province awaits the outcome. Let's do this thing!
