Montreal has a great team but I'm cheering on our Sask Riders! I've lived here for 30 years now so I bleed green (Ontario transplant). It should be a great final game anyway it turns out.

It's the Grey Cup champs versus Rider Pride on Sunday afternoon in one of the most anticipated games in recent Canadian Football League history.

To help sort out the Western Conference final, we present a quick (tongue-in-cheek) rundown of what's at stake and how to separate the clubs.

Teams: Calgary Stampeders (10-7-1, plus one playoff victory) and the Saskatchewan Roughriders (10-7-1).

Kickoff: 2:30 p.m. MST, 4:30 p.m. ET.

Location: Regina, Saskatchewan's Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field (real Rider fans would not be caught dead calling it anything but Taylor Field).

Who was this guy Taylor?: Neil (Piffles) Taylor was a Great War fighter pilot who lost an eye when shot down in action. He came back to Regina and kept playing football anyway.

So the story goes, Piffles had his glass eye knocked out during a game and proceedings halted while everyone looked for it. They grow them tough on the Prairies, and don't you forget it.

What's on the line?: Winner goes to the 2009 Grey Cup game in Calgary on Nov. 29 against either Montreal or B.C. That game is sold out, but if the Riders win, some tickets are expected to suddenly become available. Call your friends in Calgary.

Field type: FieldTurf, an American product that combines "monofilament fibres" with a combination of cryogenic rubber, silica sand and watermelon seeds. The seeds did not come with the original installation.

Capacity: 30.945. Doesn't count people standing on their cars and peering in, sneaking in dressed as Gainer the Gopher, or babies, some born just last week, carried in their parents' arms. Any fans you see in Stampeders' red, by the way, are among the bravest people you've ever met.

Head-to-head: Three games in the regular season, two wins by the Riders (one by one point, the other by 16) and one tie.

Playoff history: First time they've met in the West final since 1971 when the Stamps won and went on to take the Grey Cup over Toronto in the rain at Vancouver. (And as a side note, Argos coach Leo Cahill should never have called that handoff to Leon McQuay, who fumbled).

This is the sixth time since 1971 they've met in the playoffs, with the Riders going 4-1. Really? Hmmm…

Coaches: Ken Miller for Saskatchewan. John Hufnagel for the Stampeders.

Miller's coaching style: "C'mon over here, son, let's have a grumpy fatherly chat."

Hufnagel's coaching style: Duck.

Calgary's best player: Running back Joffrey Reynolds (1,504 yards rushing on 235 carries for an average of 6.4 a lug, plus 11 touchdowns). He's so good even Saskatchewan legend George Reed, one of the most revered men in the province, loves him.

Saskatchewan's best players: Defensive ends John Chick and Stevie Baggs, who together have 22 sacks. You can find their pictures in Calgary post offices.

Chick is a sweet young man from Wyoming who moved full time to Regina last off-season. Does much charity work.

Baggs is a sweet young man from Florida who does much charity work and is a school teacher in the off-season.

Then they put their helmets on.

Who would the CFL most like to see in the Grey Cup?: Saskatchewan versus Toronto. Honest.

Player under the most potential pressure: Rider kicker Luca Congi who, if he has to try a game-winning field goal, may want to hide under the bench.

Back in 2004, then-kicker Paul McCallum missed an 18-yarder in overtime of a playoff game with B.C. Some nutcase Rider fans trashed the outside of his house and dumped manure in his neighbour's driveway, thinking it was his.

McCallum eventually signed with B.C., and he still doesn't think it's funny, thank you very much.

Best headgear: Watermelon heads, carved by Rider fans. And they're getting ever more complicated. Some now have ear holes and face guards.

Are these two teams really that closely matched?: Is Alberta conservative? Is Saskatchewan a have province? Was Trudeau's National Energy Program a bad idea?
