Is this person really a Rider fan?
Moderator: Team Captains
Every once in a blue moon, I like to wander over to RF.com and see what's going on. Strolled over there just now and saw this avatar. At first glance, I thought "No way this person's a Rider fan". Then I considered that maybe they thought because it was green and white and had the Rider logo on it, that it showed some o' that Rider Pride. Look, and discuss:

I think it's probably an indication of how rabid the province is about the Riders if there are fire hydrants painted in their honour.

Where is Nate Davis when you need him?
Tell me how long must a fan be strong? Ans. Always.
That was my guess as well, but a fire hydrant? We need one of those dogs who won the Lions 'Dress your Pet' contest to pay it a visit I think!OrangeShoes99 wrote:I think it's probably an indication of how rabid the province is about the Riders if there are fire hydrants painted in their honour.

Their is nothing else to do in Saskatchewan so fire hydrant painting is big in Sakatchewan apparently.
I guess this isn't striking you guys the way it struck me. Here's how I see it: why would you put your logo on something that some animals are known to urinate on? It's got nothing to do with team pride, or new and creative places to market your team. That logo is going to get pissed on. Ahh....never mind-if ya gotta explain it....... 8)

It has everything to do with team pride. I've seen hydrants painted creatively in many cities. Hell, I bet if the DD spirit bear was standing on that corner, it would get pissed on by dogs too...
No worries, your intent was understood the first time. 8)

I got you, I was just saying that Saskatchewan is boring place to be so they have to do weird things to mix things up and create some fun.
