Its a win! It means squat as far as the overall standings go, but the Riders made sure that their last appearance at home was a successful one as they won 19-3. Here are some comments from stars of the game....

Just some thoughts on today's game....
Both Craig Butler and Chris Milo made it tough for those voting on Rider rookie of the year. Who do you choose?
Tyron Brackenridge and Kenny Rowe are definite keepers for next year.
Butler, Milo, Brackenridge and Rowe were all outstanding----yeah, that Brendan Taman guy who brought those four into Riderville is a terrible GM. Oh yeah, add Brandon West to that list too. (sarcasm off)
The Riders won this one without Durant, Fantuz, Cates, Simpson and Frazier. Go figure!
How can Hamilton look so good one week and so bad the next?
Was it as cold in the stands as it was on the sidelines?
Was that Gene Makowsky's last game in a Rider uniform? I think it was if he is the successful candidate in Regina Dewdney?
Rod Pedersen called the fake punt that was botched by the Ti-Cats. How did RP know?
I have never seen as few people on the practice field as there was before this one. Didja all think the game started at 2 instead of 1?
What was with Ryan Dinwiddie and all the running.
Who starts next Friday in Edmonton?
Uber Rider fan Ricky G made it to the game, but he was wearing a Tiger-Cats hoodie. Yes, a Ti-Cats hoodie!!! He claims he got it from ex-Rider Belton Johnson, That's reason to turn in his pledge pin is it not? He tweeted me that it was warmer than a Rider hoodie. I'll give him that, but that is still highly unacceptable as far as this blogger is concerned.

Congrats to the Rams for beating Manitoba to get into the Canada West playoffs. They will play Calgary next weekend. The Saskatoon Hilltops will play the Hamilton Hurricanes in the Canadian Junior Final after ending a 44 game win streak by the Vancouver Island Raiders.

Riders beat each team in the east division at least once this year but not once in the west division. The Rider's demise this year was their failure to match up with their counterparts in the west. If the Riders had beaten each western team once this year, we would have been in the play-offs instead of the Ti-cats.
Enjoyed the game today. Although there was a cool wind, at least there was no snow and it was above 0 which, this time of year, is not something to take for granted. Hope the weather is like it was today (minus the wind) for the 2013 Grey Cup game!
RP call on fake punt, maybe Sherri Trapp tweeted play calls this week!!
The intelligent Rider fans know that Taman has brought in good players---players that will be the future of this team. The thing is the intelligent Rider fan doesn't spend his time on Riderfans.com.

Dinwiddie played well, but I think Bergquist has to start next week.
Didn't the Toppers beat the Raiders last year in the National Championship Mitch ?
