Tracy McGrady threw a few innings for them as well (went as well as you'd expect). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2017 New Mosaic Stadium will be built. Their Head Coach is Corey Chamblin and GM is Brendan Taman. Saskatchewan has made it to 19 Grey Cups, winning in 1966, 1989, 2007 and 2013. Often ridiculed by Bomber fans for being around for 102 Grey Cups, and only winning 4. In 2014 their record was 10-8 and they lost to Edmonton in the West Semi-Final. www.riderville.com NFL equivalent: Packers. A few small towns in a region that has nothing else going. All anyone cares about it might seem in their area. Wear watermelon on their heads. Best fan base that is quite loud. They wear green. They have become more like the Seahawks though. They have a 13th man shtick. i think i found it Idk, I don't follow the CFL. Someone I work with is a Roughriders fan too and they definitely have the most dedicated fan base. The Toronto Argonauts are kind of a running joke around here, people in Toronto for the most part don't care about the CFL. It is really big out West, and Quebec cares. There aren't even any east coast teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucsfan333 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I took work off today. I dropped the baby off at the sitters at nine. Then I went and got new tires and ran a few errands. After I was done, I got home and planted my butt on the couch. I had a solid hour and a half of no baby to chase around and no girlfriend to bug me. It was amazing. I forgot what it was like. I just watched the Steelers/Colts re-air on NFLN. And it was nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part it carried over when they joined the MLS; I believe their inaugural season had them as a top 3 team in terms of attendance.

Sugashane Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Son still has a cast on his right arm from the wreck, but has been really active with his right hand lately. Went outside and he was trying to throw baseballs into a 5 gallon just in front of my shed. He has just been fielding at first and catcher the last week (they don't throw back to the pitcher, they drop the balls in a small bucket and the coach throws it back). Decided to let him swing at a few in the back yard and he didn't have any pain, so I let him bat during his last game today. 3 for 4 with two doubles swinging basically with only one hand. Kid is a better athlete than I ever was. When he is old enough to realize it, I'm screwed. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Living in Ohio, I’ve seen a hillbilly or two, but South Dakota has been mind blowing. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting an obese woman with a bunch of crappy tatooos in a camo bikini. The dudes really seem to enjoy the beer gut/shaved head/goatee look while wearing tee shirts from various Harley Davidson dealerships across the country. I guess what I’m getting at is the people watching here is aces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
