You learn something new every day as I never knew their nickname. "Come on you Riversiders!"
I thought it was probably just pipe dream that they'd be playing the 4 quarter finals simultaneously like in 'the good old days'. Split over 2 days now and all at different times. The Riversiders will try to blunt The Blades and overcome the MM curse in what could turn out to be a be a gunfight at 'High Noon' on Sunday.
