Tomorrow night represents the last chance for the 2006 crop of potential Saskatchewan Roughriders. Good luck to the boys, as they look to topple the "Evil Empire" in Edmonton. No tv coverage, but I'm sure Rod and Carm will keep us on top of the action over the CKRM airwaves. As an aside, I met Riders Chairman Graham Barker for the first time today through our respective "real" jobs. Graham seems like a heck of a guy, and is definitely one of those all-too-rare "straight shooters".
Now, what to expect from the wannabe Riders tomorrow night? Kerry Joseph will get plenty of playing time, hopefully showing that last week's 4/10 passing effort was an aberration. Not sure if the oft-injured Kenton Keith will suit up at tailback. Hopefully this is the year KK stays healthy and puts up huge numbers. It'll be interesting to see (hear?) if the Riders defence can smother the "real" Eskimos (Ray, Davis, Hervey, et al) the way they handled the Edmonton contingent at Taylor Field last Saturday.
And for those keeping track, Jacob's ball game was rained out tonight. So the Paczko boys got a rare night to just relax and enjoy each other's company. We even spoke to the matriarch of the Paczko clan (that'd be my Mom) from her hospital bed in London. Looks like she's feeling a bit better every day. Jacob and I are looking forward to verifying that information in person at the end of the month.
Oh, and Ronald's still a dolt. Some things never change.
