  1. A Long Wait: Riders' First Grey Cup Triumph! ⏳🏆

    Talk about patience! The Saskatchewan Roughriders were the *last* of the CFL's original nine franchises to finally win their first Grey Cup. It took over half a century after the league's founding for them to hoist the trophy. What a momentous victory after such a long wait! #Canada #GreyCup #Roughriders #CFLHistory

  2. So yesterday, the #Roughriders won the Grey Cup for the fifth time.

    And today my partner tells me that on this big pile of dirt beside a road construction/repair site, someone has climbed to the top and planted a flag.

    A Pilsner flag.

    How very #Saskatchewan.

  3. Holy shit, eh?

    Hard to imagine that Montreal could have tied it with a late touchdown and 2 point convert, but alas, not to be...

    Congrats to the Roughriders....Sask could use some good news after having to deal with an idiot premier...

  5. If the #Riders win on Friday they will finish first overall in the regular season for the first time in my LIFE 🎉💚💚💚💚

    IT'S BEEN 49 YEARS SINCE THAT HAS HAPPENED :riders: 🙏

  6. It's #halftime in one of the most anticipated games of the year in the #CFL. That would be the "Labour Day Classic" (though it's the day before labour day...) with the #Saskatchewan #Roughriders hosting the #Winnipeg Blue Bombers. It's the biggest grudge match of the year for both teams, possibly the biggest in the league period.

    After a slow offensive start, the Roughriders came to life in the 2nd quarter and overturned the #Bombers' lead, which had been 10-0. The Riders now lead it 14-10.

    But the reason I type this is to have an opportunity to re-tell one of my favourite stories. The colour commentator on #TSN's broadcast is Glen #Suitor - possibly the best sports commentator I've ever seen on any network, for any sport. Just listening to him makes me feel Football Smart ( #TM ). Glen is normally unflappable, but a few years ago, this happened:

    The Blue Bombers had been dominating the league for a few seasons. Mike O'Shea was the coach, as he is now. They had a quarterback who could do no wrong, a receiving corps that could work miracles, and running backs that could penetrate any defensive line and move the ball.

    Glen was talking about this, and he said "Now, Winnipeg has a quarterback that can really throw it, and a running back who can really run it. And if you're coach Mike O'Shea, now you've got a problem, because you've only got one ball."

    You could tell he realized what he was saying as he was saying it, but he kept it together. A true pro.

  11. Playing in a team tournament in a couple months. Don’t expect to win.

    My guard army is only
    Deathriders + Lord Marshall
    Baneblade + Tech Priest
    Basilisk + Artillery Team

    So a lot of strategems or army rules don’t apply.

    I’m almost certainly spending 1CP a turn to pop smoke on the baneblade.

    Options and poll follow:

    1/2
