Roughriders Going to the Grey Cup

The Saskatchewan Roughriders will be hosting the 101st Grey Cup.  After defeating the Calgary Stampeders in the Western Finals the Riders will be attending this dance along with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.  The two teams had similar records and stats.  To add to the drama  Henry Burris, Andy Fantuz, and Luca Congi all played for the Riders in the past.  Hamilton coach Kent Austin was the Roughrider quarterback in their 1989 champion season (against Hamilton) and was their head coach in the 2007 championship run.  Over the past two seasons the host team played in and won the Grey Cup.  Let's hope that trend continues.
