It had something to do with Wally cheating, or being classless, or playing QB's hoping they get hurt; Braley paying off the refs and owning the league; the canned noise at BC PLa e; the timekeeper at BC Place; or.........feel free to add.

.. or the classless BC fans for condoning the behavior set forth by Wally which of course NO Rider fans would EVER stoop to, or the arrogance of the Lions, that the Lions are the worst franchise in CFL history, or that it's better to finish in third place with "honour" than to have all those tainted first place finishes over the years due to the Lions arrogance, or that Wally may be the most successful coach in CFL history but he couldn't hold a candle to the Rider's all time winningest coach in Danny Barrett, or that there are 75,000 Rider fans that show up to every regular season contest at BC Place and that they are all cheering for the Riders the entire game, and on and on it goes.

Oh, as for the Eskimo receiver being that wide open, it was because of a cheap shot by Sherko-Rasouli.

That last part was funny.

CHOKE!

Then there is that Rider GM that nobody talks about because what he may have done goes way beyond class/classless.

Hey, no fair bringing Facts, Reason and Logic into a discussion of wheatie fan behavior! They're always right, you know.

That game was Scheduled for Sunday afternoon. I hear that Grampa missed his nap and was in a foul mood and is now demanding that they play all their games at 6am.

Maybe he was in a hurry to get to the washroom. On the sidelines, he always looks like he needs to phart, but is afraid it may be a little more than gas buildup.

True, but given Tillman's status, we all know that this isn't as cut and dry as that in the public eye.

That as may be, but it's my belief that the Rider organiziation is just doing a little CYA in case the verdict goes against Tillman. "well, we put him on administrative leave"...

I dunno.

Speculation like this drives me nuts. We'll all find out when it's over.

Agreed. No different than what police do when officers run afoul and so on.

As for some of the comments in this thread. It seems that we are running a might close to the kinds of behavior that we like to accuse Rider fans of engaging in wantonly. I still think the best policy is to ignore fans whose idea of fandom include being confrontational and basically rude regardless of team affiliation. People will say whatever they want but in the end, class is demonstrated by the actions we take more than the words we utter. We also know that most fans are good fans who are not represented by the former. They are welcome to visit and debate any time and even poke some good honest fun once in a while (unless you are a Rider fan (kidding)

Absolutely. And let's keep in mind that not infrequently a claim of sexual assault/rape turns out to be false.
