Well this is it. It's do or die. Will this be Cameron Wake's farewell game in the CFL ?

I feel that Otis Floyd is going to be ready, that will make a large impact on the game. Wally has said that he has been energized this week and I did see him fly behind a player getting interviewed and yell "Obama", so I can confirm that he is indeed showing some energy.

Any truth to the rumour that Glatt will not dress tomorrow? Or is that just wishful thinking?

I wonder if Carl Kidd's in town? He was a great inspiration. I wonder if he still can be? I do remember how people wondered if there was any one who could replace his off-field presence. Or is that too long ago?

Nope. Next year's Rider starting QB :lol: :lol:

I keed, I keed. Some are predicting and blow-out, some go green, some go orange. The overwhelming expectation out here is that today's game is going to be a close game - most of the Rider wins this year were close games - the exceptions being the clobbering of the Schmoes and being clobbered by the Stampeders. So many things have to align for both teams - Sask has to control the ball and avoid turnovers and have our LB's play the way they have all year. BC has to make sure that BP gets enough protection to get the time he needs to get the ball away without taking a hit.

I can't wait for kickoff, so I guess I'll kill a few hours watching Edmonton beat Winnipeg.

I'm like a kid on Christmas a.m. I can't wait for my present--a Lions thumping of the Green Roughies. Let's go Lions, do it for Mr. Ackles!!

It's 8:45 am in Cal. I, too am like a like on Xmas day. The temp. in Regina is for a high of 0C by noon and no precipitation. Hoping the wind won't be too much of a factor. Good luck Leo's :rockin:

I think one key for the game might be...........the opening coin toss. :popcorn:

If it is windy at all, or if the wind kicks up throughout the course the game, the Lions will want to have the wind at their back in the 4th quarter.

Failing that - jumping out to a 20 point lead wouldn't hurt, either. :yes:

Score first

Take care of the ball

Win the lines.

If the lions take care of these three keys they will win.
