On a cold, snow-blanketed November day at Taylor Field in 2002, the University of Saskatchewan Huskies claimed their 15th Hardy Cup championship in program history 44-28 over the University of Regina Rams.
Fast-forward 22 years later and the longtime, bitter Saskatchewan rivals are set to do it all over again.
This time, however, players like Huskies linebacker Seth Hundeby are glad there will be milder conditions this Saturday in Saskatoon.
“I bet you there’s going to be a lot of Regina fans coming up and I know a lot of Saskatchewan fans are going to be coming out,” said Hundeby.
“I think it’s going to be a fantastic game. The weather is great, so a lot more people are going to be coming out. I know if it’s a minus-20 game, a lot of people are deterred. Great weather, great fan bases, I think it’s going to be electric.”
