Things have really changed for the better for us Rider fans.I started writing this article back in 2001.Over the next few years, I was able to write about playoff games, but wished for the day I could write a Rider Grey Cup edition of Mits.That wish finally came through in 2007, as I wrote the majority of the article while flying to Toronto. Now here we are two years later, and I get to write another one.You have to go back to the 60s to find as good a time to be a Rider fan as it is today.It’s been a while since these teams played so I can’t just recycle recent articles this time.
This is it, a day that a lot of us have never experienced, heading down to the corner of Cameron and 10th to watch the Western Final in our own backyard.Sixty minutes of solid football away from our second Grey Cup berth in three seasons.You’d think that for a game of this magnitude I would have a lot to say.Well that’s going to be tough.These two teams matched up twice in the last four regular season games, so there isn’t much left to analyze.I’m just going to keep this simple and reference a lot of the same material.Hey, Michael Bolton has made a career out of it.
