Moe and Gainer signed a certificate marking the occasion, raised a flag outside the legislature and clasped hands in a show of team spirit.<\/p>\n
The Roughriders play against the B.C. Lions on Saturday with a chance to go to the Grey Cup on the line.<\/p>\n
Moe says he is encouraging everyone to wear their green and white, and cheer for Saskatchewan’s team.<\/p>\n
He says the Roughriders, with the biggest CFL fan base, help make the league successful.<\/p>\n
“It’s been such an exciting year for the Riders with so much good news to share throughout the season,” Moe told reporters Thursday.<\/p>\n
