The Green and White face the Green and Gold this afternoon at a sold-out Mosaic Stadium.

     The Riders will no doubt have revenge on their mind after the Edmonton Eskimos stole a 38-33 win in their last meeting back in July.  In that game, the Riders blew a 22-0 lead.

     Stevie Baggs says that loss still leaves a bitter taste in their mouths, saying it was up to them to seal the game, and they failed to do it.  He says it was all part of their maturation process, and they're hoping they'll come out and get a victory this week.

     In the July game, Defensive End Kitwana Jones was a member of the Eskimos, but today, he will be playing his first game since coming back to the Riders.  He says he's excited to be taking on his former teammates, even his good friend and former Rider Maurice Lloyd, saying it's going to be an interesting match-up.

     The game has been sold out for a few weeks now, and the capacity crowd at Mosaic Stadium should expect a good chance of showers, along with winds from the northwest gusting to 60 km/h, and a high of 18 degrees in Regina.

     Kick-off is at 2:00pm.
