Yes, it's true! After an eighteen year hiatus, the Riders are the champions for the third time! I have been privileged to have viewed all three of them (1966, 1989 & now 2007), and about forty not so successful campaigns! In total they have been to the big game sixteen times, so their record of three wins bears witness to lots of frustration over the years. However, for now, all is forgiven (if not forgotten) and we celebrate as winners and anticipate next year as another championship season!
It was not much of a performance by either offensive team, but the defensive sides played well, and a Rider defensive back, James Johnson, had three interceptions, returning one for a touchdown. Not surprisingly, he was named the most valuable player of the 23-19 victory.
And another Saskatchewan saying comes true—no, not the, "Wait 'til next year!" one, but the "Tough times don't last; tough people do!"
"We are the champions, my friend!"
