Rock solid: Armstead's 207 rushing yards ends Riders' 7-game slide
4h ago
The Roughriders beat the Stampeders for their first win since July.
Rider Nation is always behind its team, but 2019 is a little different as we head down the stretch.
Two likable characters are front and centre in this year’s push for a Grey Cup championship.
Head coach Craig Dickenson is approachable to fans and members of the media, and never insults the intelligence of either with indignant and non-insightful responses. I’m still amazed that no team has convinced him to be a head coach before now.
What’s not to like about Cody Fajardo? The guy who always considers himself last on the depth chart at training camp has proven he deserves to be the starter. He has also proven that he is humble and community-minded.
That goes a long way here in Saskatchewan.
The Riders are hosting their first West Division final in a decade and — thanks to their head coach, starting quarterback and others in this organization — this may be the easiest Saskatchewan Roughrider team to cheer for in the last 10 years as well.
