People who even think that's the biggest game of the year would probably be wrong, at least the past 4 seasons. IMO since Burris came over from Saskatchewan and turned Rider fans into a bunch of scorned ex's, the Stamps/Riders rivalry has trumped Stamps/Esks, at least as long as Burris is a Stampeder. When the Riders are in town you can just see how much more fired up the team, and crowd is. Definitely more than the Labour Day Classic.
EDIT: On a side note, I don't know if this was already mentioned in this thread, but I thought that Huffer's "We got em right where we want em!!!" pregame speech was awesome. That totally fired me up, I was ready to run through a wall when he said that. But instead, I continued to drink beer and fill my face with chips and chicken wings. I think he'd be proud.
