Friday thoughts

An assortment, possibly even a potpourri, of thoughts:

  • If Darian Durant is on, the Riders have a definite chance against Montreal in Sunday's Grey Cup.
  • If he isn't, and Anthony Calvillo is, the score could get pretty lopsided.
  • If Wes Cates rushes for 100 yards, the Riders win. No question.
  • The last time Cates hit the century mark was on September 26th against Edmonton, when he rushed 17 times for 103 yards. The Riders beat Edmonton 23-20 in that game.
  • Defensively, it's pretty simple. If you can make Anthony Calvillo uncomfortable, you have a chance.
  • If Calvillo has time, he will pick apart any defence.
  • Prediction: Saskatchewan 26 Montreal 21

In other news...

  • The Regina Pats have been on a pretty nice roll lately, winning 4 of their last 5.
  • With football season about to wrap up, the Pats couldn't pick a better time to get hot. Hopefully that translates into butts in the seats when the team returns to the Brandt Centre for games next weekend against Brandon and Prince Albert.
  • Are the Wheat Kings - this year's Memorial Cup hosts - a legitimate contending team? Right now I'd rate them no higher than 5th in the WHL, behind Saskatoon, Calgary, Vancouver and Tri-City.
  • Well, I officially joined the board of the Lakeshore Tennis Club last night. Time to shake things up around that place!
  • I'm off to the J-man's school this afternoon for the parent-teacher interview. Based on the results of his report card, I'm thinking this encounter should go pretty smoothly!
  • Anyone up for lunch? You're buying!

Lunch sounds great, but I can't do it today. Going out with friends this evening for supper, so have to go home and take the dogs out. You're welcome to join us for supper, though, if you're interested. :)

Sounds like fun, but I have big stuff on the go for tonight. Huge. Life-changing, really.

Thanks though!
