Crummy history In 96 seasons, the Roughriders have won the Grey Cup a pathetic three times — less than every team in the CFL, including three defunct franchises. The Bombers, meanwhile, have played in the big game a CFL-record 23 times in 80 seasons, winning on 10 occasions. 9. Crummy players The Bombers have 39 members of the CFL Hall of Fame, while the Riders have just 19. 8. Winnipegs whipping boys The CFL record book is filled with tales of Winnipegs dominance over Saskatchewan: • Biggest shutout: Winnipeg 56, Saskatchewan 0 (July 5, 1986) • Largest margin of victory by a road team: Winnipeg 61, Saskatchewan 8 (Aug. 29, 1959) • Most kicks blocked in one game: 3 by Winnipeg vs. Saskatchewan (Sept. 13, 1992) 7. Did we mention crummy history? The Riders would have to go on a 77-game winning streak to raise their all-time record to .500. The Bombers, meanwhile, would have to lose 56 in a row to fall to that level. To reach the Riders current level of all-time ineptitude, the Bombers would have to go 7.5 seasons without a victory. 6. Their recent history isnt that great, either The Riders just finished losing to the Edmonton Eskimos, arguably the worst team in the CFL. 5. Biggest current star is terrible Quarterback Darian Durant has the most interceptions, worst completion percentage and lowest passer rating of any full-time starting QB in the league. In his last five games, Durant has thrown four touchdowns and 11 interceptions. 4. Biggest past star was terrible Of course, crummy quarterbacking is nothing new in Regina. Their greatest all-time passer, Ron Lancaster, threw a CFL-record 396 interceptions in his career — 115 more than the next-most-careless QB. He threw 63 fewer TD passes than picks. 3. Nobody good works there ... for long While Winnipeg steals promising coaches (Paul LaPolice, Kavis Reed) away from Saskatchewan, the Riders hire castoffs (Doug Berry, Jim Daley) who werent good enough for the Bombers. 2. A ground squirrel is not a gopher! Their mascot is Gainer the Gopher — perhaps the only species of rodent that DOESNT exist in Saskatchewan. 1. A watermelon is not a hat This is simple stuff, people.
