This may sound like a stupid question, but it has me thinking. I like to think of it as the team the i dislike the least, because for me it's only the Lions. But I get tired of hearing that the Roughriders are every other city's fans second favorite team. I am from Saskatchewan and i can not stand to see the Riders win. I go to Regina every time the Lions are there and the so called best fans in the league make me sick. And then when you listen to the post game call in show on the radio after the game, they are either the greatest team on earth or they should all be fired or traded. So I guess I'm wondering if it is true what they say about the Riders being everyones second favorite. Because for me, if the Lions are beat out, then it is anyone but the Riders.

No such thing as a second favourite team ! I've supported them for several decades and will continue to do so.

When you can rent them like a mule, you have to enjoy playing the Als for any large game these days. Of course the Riders helping the Lions secure many playoff spots during the decades also lends them to being a Lionbacker favourite.

Yeah, I gotta think the Als. With players like Calvillo and Cahoon, they would be my 2nd team. Coupled of course with the rented mule factor.

the bombers for me as i grew up watching a lot of games with my dad(who is a big bomber fan) and my girlfriend is a bomber fan. however, i had to watch the tape of the 1988 grey cup enough when i was at home so i hope the lions repeat against the bombers this year and i can play the game over and over for my dad :lol: :lol: i am similar to prairielion in that i have a hard time liking the eskimos as i live in edmonton and have to hear about the all the time :x :x

Nobody. I have one CFL team, one NFL team, one NHL team. After that, teams get ranked by how much or little burning hatred I can muster for them.

Hamilton.

Saskatchewan is just a ____ hair above the Eskishmoes at the bottom of the pile.

Although no matter how many people do not pick the riders, I'm sure their myth will live on.

Lions or nobody. How bout' a thread on most hated team. I'm sure the stinkin' eskimos would easily win out on that one. my hatred for all things eskimo runs deep and i am proudly passing on my hatred and utter distaste for that organization to my 5 year old son.
