It was a day for a great cause and to watch your favourite Saskatchewan Roughrider duff it up.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders have added three more players to the roster ahead of training camp.

They signed import defensive back Willie Byrd, non-import linebacker/long snapper Christian Houle and non-import defensive tackle Ryan Lucas.

They arrived at Mosaic stadium in the middle of the night.

“ It’s always really hard to get Labour Day tickets” she says, “it’s the first time we’ve ever lined up, but we’re really gung-ho about it”.

For most of the night they were alone, but at 6 a.m. more people started to join them. By 8 a.m. there were more than 30 people waiting to get their hands on the remaining single game tickets.

After SGI launched the plates to honour the team, more than 3,500 have been ordered.  Plates range in price from an extra $50 dollars and can also be personalized for another 75$ dollars on top of that.

All profits from the plates go straight to the team.

Here are the specifics from the Roughriders.

It's time for Jordan Sisco to show his talent to the Indianapolis Colts.

The University of Regina Rams receiver, and property of the Saskatchewan Roughriders,  signed a contract with the NFL club Monday which allows him to participate in workouts with the club leading up to training camp in June.

While the contract doesn't pay any money for the time being, Sisco says he was all smiles putting the pen to paper.
