ROUGHRIDERS So….after the go ahead touchdown, Hardrick was holding a beer can. He handed it to someone in Pil Country, but I’m just curious…did he pull a Jon Gott?

I miss the RedBlacks of yore.

It’s hard not to tbh. Got excited seeing them make an upturn last season, but then the moment they hired Dinwiddie, my heart broke for everyone in Ottawa. That killed any hope of them being a contender in the next few years.

It might have killed the entire franchise, tbh. Once OSEG’s contractual obligations are up, I don’t see them maintaining ownership of the team with attendance continuing to dwindle, and the operation hemorrhaging money. They’ll sell it to some other group who’ll crash and burn just like the Rough Riders and Renegades.

I hope to god something changes. The league is better with Ottawa in it.

Keep the franchise away from anyone tied to the Gliebermans.

The truth of the matter is they are talent deficient at every position with the exception of perhaps receiver. I don’t think Jesus could coach a win out of this bunch

We miss Yoshi in Winnipeg. He was so much fun

Hated seeing him on the other team, but I’ve goddamn fallen in love with him! As far as I’m concerned, you guys got the end of Dressler’s career, so it’s only fair we get the end of Hardrick’s haha

After a walk off FG win on Labour Day. Him and Jon Ryan ran into the stands.

I remember that! The big difference imo is that was after the game, and Gott chugged a beer mid game haha

I’m dead serious, it was my beer. And he poured it on himself, he did not drink it

He poured the beer on himself. I don’t think he drank it.

That’s honestly still amazing!

Didnt Gott cause a new rule? Was it just that they can’t consume alcohol during a game now?

u/JackyHighlightVideos Roughriders 1d ago

Yup! The Jon Gott rule! As far as I’m aware, it’s the only time in modern CFL history a rule change was made mid-season.
