My Friends Whine a Lot

What more can I say?

We're Not the Worst!

I was shocked when I did some research this week. In my life time (starting with the 1978 football season), the 'Riders have a record of 185-275-5, for a winning percentage of .398. In short, pretty pathetic. As well, they have never finished in first place, and have one Grey Cup to their name. Of course, that wasn't the shocking part - I've always known the 'Riders weren't very good. The surprising part to me was that Ottawa has actually done worse. Over the same period, their record is 120-257-2, for a winning percentage of .317. They have finished first in the league once (1979), and have 0 (yes, none!) Grey Cups. As well, they had 5 seasons where they didn't have a team at all.
All that to say, We're Not the Worst! I'm shocked, and yet thrilled at the same time. Now if only we could get back to our winning ways this year. Go 'Riders!
