WEEK 11 | EIGHT IS GREAT

Rider Nation showed up. The Riders showed out.

A sold-out Mosaic Stadium (33,350 strong) witnessed Saskatchewan dismantle the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 29–9, pushing the Green and White to 8–1 for just the second time in franchise history. The last time? 2013 — the year Saskatchewan hoisted the Grey Cup.

The streak is now at four wins, the swagger is real, and the Riders are alone on top of the CFL.

🟢 Fan Outlook: Loud and Proud
Rider Nation is riding sky-high with an 8.88/10 outlook heading into Week 12. A massive 92% of fans scored their confidence in the Riders at 7 or higher, with 62% maxing it out at 9 or 10.

Head coach Corey Mace couldn’t stop himself from giving fans the first word postgame:

“We absolutely love you. That was incredible today. The amount of people that showed up was excellent.”

When the head coach opens his press conference talking about Rider Nation — you know the energy is real.

🟩 Rider Performance in One Word: Dominant
The fans nailed it.

  • 98% of Rider Nation rated their performance as Somewhat Happy or Very Happy
  • Top fan words: Dominant, Awesome, Exciting

And the tape backs it up:

  • Trevor Harris: 307 yards, 3 TDs, 77% completions (extending his CFL record streak to 12 games over 70%)
  • Three different receivers (Meyers, Nield, Robustelli) hit the end zone
  • Defence: Six sacks, two interceptions, 201 yards allowed, and no touchdowns surrendered (for the second straight week)
  • 19 different players recorded a tackle — proof of the depth of Corey Mace’s defence

It wasn’t just execution. It was statement football. The Riders imposed their will in every phase of the game and played like a team fully aware of its championship potential.

📊 98% of fans were happy with the team’s performance
🧠 Word cloud sentiment: dominant, fantastic, exciting

Fan Prediction: Week 12 vs. Calgary
Circle it. Highlight it. Save the date.

Saskatchewan’s only loss this season came in Week 6 against Calgary. And now? The Stamps are coming to Mosaic on August 23. Rider Nation sees this as more than just another game — it’s a statement opportunity against the only team to hand them an L in 2025.

Confidence is high, but this is the litmus test. The West runs through Saskatchewan… but first, revenge.

Rider Nation, We See You
From the sellout crowd to the word clouds full of awesome and dominant — this season feels different. And at 8–1, it’s starting to look historic.

You bring the noise, the Riders bring the wins. Keep stacking. Keep believing.

Join the conversation. Share your voice. Shape the season.
