Dude, the Riders are actually doing good this year. They might actually make it to the Grey Cup this year.
Damn straight!
I'm a Riders fan (which is a requirement if you are born in Saskatchewan). I don't play football, I've never played football, and have no real interest in football, but I'm a Riders fan.
Saskatchewan's main exports are:
1. Grain
2. Uranium
3. Riders fans
...not neccessarily in that order.
In a related annecdote, when I was in Vancouver I was reading a local paper. In it was a poll result from the previous day, a poll about the BC Lions. It read like this:
Do you think the BC Lions will repeat a Grey Cup win this year?
A. Yes
B. No
C. I'm a Riders fan
10% of the respondents voted for option C.
