<![CDATA[Rider fans react to 0-5 start to CFL season]]>

Rider fans are known throughout the CFL as some of the most passionate, which is great when the team is winning but not so when they are 0-5. And while loyal fans are getting tetchy, opposing fans are taking great glee in taking pot shots at the Green and White army.

Regina Flooding - June 29th, 2014 · 5j3cWcobs40dfgjt2uWd-g
Regina's fire department took to Twitter on Sunday night to ask residents to refrain on using their showers and flushing their toilets, as the city's sewage system was being taxed from all the water.
The flooding also made walking to Sunday's Rider game tricky.
