How else to describe the weekend from a Regina sports fans' perspective? First, the Regina Pats soiled the linen Friday night, meekly succumbing to the Moose Jaw Warriors 5-2. The Pats - apparently under the impression that the WHL hands out an award for congeniality - look to break a 3-game losing skid tonight against Brandon.
Thankfully, the U of R Rams took care of business Friday night. The Rams knocked off the U of S 19-13 in a Canada West football semi-final, and travel to Manitoba next weekend for the conference final.
And then there's the Riders. Yes indeed, the Riders. The green guys were...well, putrid...on Saturday afternoon, losing 41-13 to the Toronto Argos. The Argos finished first in the CFL's East Division, while the Riders finished the regular season at 12-6 and will host Calgary in next Sunday's west semi-final. I concur with coach Austin's assessment of the game: the offense acted as if they'd never seen a team blitz before, and the defensive back's played as if they had no idea what to do once the quarterback released the ball. The green guys stunk on both sides of the ball. Let's hope that's out of their systems!
And now, just in case you thought the CFL wasn't run by the Keystone Cops, the league has announced that the Riders' Luca Congi is NOT the west division all-star kicker. Somehow, the bright lights at the league office miscounted (?), and the nod should have in fact gone to Calgary's Sandro DeAngelis. Nice!
Oh, and Jacob's hockey team lost 8-0. I'll be glad to have this weekend in the rear view mirror!
