GAME DAY: Riders, Eskimos set to clash at Commonwealth
Finally, after weeks of waiting the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Edmonton Eskimos are set to renew their rivalry this evening at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton.
The CFL regular season may be heading into its 14th week but this will be the first match-up between the Green and White and the Green and Gold since the final week of the regular season last year, a game that didn't mean anything in the standings.
This one, it does mean something in the standings as the Eskimos sit just one game back of the Riders heading into the weekend. A sharp contrast from last season when the Eskimos finished last in the West Division.
“I can tell you, it will be a like a parking lot football game,” said Chamblin. “It'll be like two little kids playing parking lot football and playing until our mom's call us home because no one is going to quit on this football game. It is one of those that's going to be electric.”
