Alex, Greg, and Steve are back talking about the wave of positivity Corey Mace has brought to the Riders in his first week as Head Coach, Regina's own Marc Mueller's hiring as offensive coordinator, changes in Hamilton, and some Riders defensive free agents.

But the big topic is the revitalization of the Riders brand; what they have done, what they are doing, and what they need to do to bring back the glory.
