- If Darian Durant had a stronger arm, there would be absolutely no question who the Riders' starting quarterback is.
- Steven Jyles telegraphs his passes, and makes too many ill-advised throws to be a legitimate starting quarterback.
- Then again, Henry Burris and Kerry Joseph make some pretty poor decisions too, and they both have Grey Cup rings.
- Dalton Bell might have potential. However, it's hard to tell when he has the Regina Rams' offensive line playing in front of him.
- The pass rush was virtually non-existent in the first quarter, but improved after that.
- Hugh Charles is a very capable fill-in for Wes Cates at tailback.
- Who will the primary returner be, McGahee or Morris? I would probably go with Eric Morris. Casey McGahee's hands (or lack thereof) scare me.
- If necessary, Luca Congi can do a heck of a job punting the ball. This could make Jamie Boreham nervous.
- $6 appears to be the going rate for everything at the concessions. A little pricey for a slice of pizza, but it was some darn tasty pie!
- I love how much the J-man loves going to the games with me. That alone is worth the price of season tickets.
- It was fun to hook up with my old high school buddy Jeff Parker yesterday, and take him to his first Rider game. Have a safe trip back to B.C. Jeff!
- Someone is going to get run over crossing in front of traffic on the road heading east from the stadium. I may do the running over.
- Seriously, wouldn't it make sense to have a few people directing (vehicle and pedestrian) traffic at the stadium? People walking in the middle of a street that vehicles are trying to drive down is a friggin' recipe for disaster!
- Another reason to look forward to a new stadium: individual seats! Those benches get a little cramped when you get a few "full-figured" people sitting together.
- I can't imagine how stressful the next 24 hours will be for the players facing the prospect of having their pro football dreams come to a crashing halt. Getting cut sucks. Waiting to get cut is equally lousy.
- Okay, the dress rehearsals are over. We do it for real in only 10 days!
