I don’t remember the last time I was this excited about a regular-season game for the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
It may have been 10 years ago when the Roughriders beat the Stampeders at Taylor Field to claim first in the West for the first time since 1976.
They haven’t done it since, but they have a heck of a chance tonight to take full control in the West Division.
Cody Fajardo gets his shot to beat Bo Levi Mitchell and further his progress to be an elite quarterback in the league.
Shaq Evans lines up at receiver against one of the CFL’s best defensive backs, Tre Roberson. Charleston Hughes and Micah Johnson will be trying to dominate their former team.
The best storyline is the Dickenson brothers across the field from one another, two uber-competitive people with a sibling rivalry and a western rivalry to even add more to it.
A warning to any political parties and telemarketers: You have until 7:30 p.m. to give Saskatchewanians a call because, after that, we have a game to watch.
