FLASH!!!! GAME SCORE CONTEST – the SDA reader who comes closest to predicting the final score will win a book from the SDA Free Book Library. Contest closes at kickoff.
UPDATE: Looks like Fred’s our winner! Shoot me an email, we’ll get you set up with a book.
“How the Saskatchewan Roughriders became the beating green heart of the CFL”
Those outside the viewing area can tune in via 620 CKRM, or watch via NBC Sports channel.

With the Ti-Cats coming to town, the storylines are enormous as Kent Austin comes back after winning a Grey Cup for the Riders as a coach and a player in the colours of the Tiger-Cats while public enemy number 1 Henry Burris will try to silence what is sure to be a sell-out crowd booing his every move.

Kickoff at 5:30pm Rider Time. (corrected)
Things gonna get loud.

  1. I am hoping Riders win ( not because it shared names with Ottawa) but because greatest people in any Province in Canada

  2. I guess it depends on which team’s Afro-American mercenaries perform the best today, but I’ll go out on a precarious limb here and predict
    Sask:27 Ha-milton: 17.
    Durant will run for about 80 yards, and that little white midget will catch over 100 yards worth.
    Burris will throw hard and wild and his receivers will drop a lot of ’em.
    In games like this, where my home Province’s team,the B.C.(actually VANCOUVER and Lower Mainland’s team) Kitty-cats,aren’t involved,I always cheer for the West over the Evil East.

  3. They’re playing as much as Dirty Thirty and Joe Kapp.
    Actually, a Mosca Kapp rematch would be worth watching, PPV MMA!

  4. Why oh why does the CFL insist on having the game play late in the day when it is dark and cold?
    I don’t think there’d be a big issue to start say at 2pm EST even.

  5. Cats 42-16… DD will be sacked >8 times. His happy (dancing) legs should have been corrected in High School (did he go to HS). Fantuz will be the best football player on the field…Second down go to guy with the hands! If they double defend Fantuz, other Cat recievers will be open all day.
    Fantuz never had a real NFL (Chicago) try out because of the Players Srike! He needed the NFL practice time…none
    Game on NBC sports channel in the US

  6. A bud just sent me a pic of an attractive woman wearing a sweatshirt that proclaims;
    ” Put your Grey Cup in my Regina ”
    Sask fans are the best.

  8. I predict a lop-sided Rider victory. A veritable beatdown, if you will. After all, in my opinion, the two teams they had to beat to get here were superior to the Ti-Cats.
    Sask 42 Hamilton 10

  9. I guess it depends on which team’s Afro-American mercenaries perform the best today…
    Heh, often thought the same. SK Roughriders, what a misnomer.
    Hopefully they both lose, 0-0

  10. Bruce Arthur may file charges that his piece is linked on this website, he would consider SDA as hate literature
    Riders win 33-27

  11. Saskatchewan Roughriders 42
    Hamilton Tiger Cats 17
    … lots of folks out here in Cow town today with Saskatchewan gear on, some faces painted with a green “S” .. the official Sask shirts are common too.

  12. I guess I should confess to being a long time Rider fan. It hasn’t been easy in a family of Bomber fanatics but I always wore green underwear.
    Go Riders!

  13. still can’t get over watching Geroy in green…
    I don’t want to watch that Nissan commercial with the pouty girl and the boy with ice cream again…

  14. I can livestream the Dyslexic Lesbian’s Pinochle semi-finals from Guatemala, but I can’t watch the Grey Cup game.

  15. Lions gift to saskatchewan has 2 TD’s so far.My guess is way off, that’s okay the ‘Bushers are kickin’ hell outta the Eastern devils!

  16. Geroy is not as fast as he used to be, but he is far, far, trickier.
    Glad to see him having a great game, he is class act on and off the field.

  17. Green Steamroller just hit town- halftime.
    Taunting penalty on Cats was lame, in my opinion.

  18. I predict the final score will be 45-23 for Sask. Just wanted to get that in before the deadline. 🙂
