I posted a while ago the question: Will Andy Fantuz suffer the sophomore jinx? I can now emphatically say NO. He had a great camp by all accounts, and a great pre-season. What more could you want? The kid can catch the ball if it’s close and once he does, can get you the precious YAC yards we all love (well, I know I love ‘em). I had someone say to me yesterday, “He’s better then Clermont.” Well, he is wearing the right color jersey; I will give him that, but “better than”? I think we will have to wait and see. I have also heard comparisons to Ray Elgaard, and although I see shades of Ray in Andy, I think we may need to see him this full season before we start making that comparison. Does he have the capabilities to be better then Jason and compared to Ray? Sure, as long as he keeps playing the way he is I think both are very attainable. I love the fact the Riders have a legitimate thread over the middle again with both Andy and Matt as it really has been a while since we have been able to say that without hesitation. This kid wearing # 83 has the potential to lead this team in yardage. I just hope he keeps his head on straight and takes full advantage of all that will be thrown at him this year. Get those Fantuz jerseys folks…he is going to be a keeper.
Make sure you check out Andys website if you have not already.

I got this email from T Moore today:
Hello Joe
How are you doing? fine I hope. I received your email this morning and would love to do a text interview with you. Just let me know what’s best for you.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Travis Moore
SWEET :-) So look for the interview soon here on TRR.
The Belmont Tire Coaches’ show was a great time again this evening, with Kent Austin being our guest. Kent is very forthright with his comments and is a pleasure to talk with. Rod will have highlights on his blog and, of course, there will be clips on the AM sports on the mighty 620 CKRM. As soon as it is posted, I will have the podcast up here for you to listen to. The Press Box really is a great place and they take care of us very well. I thank them for having us.
Here are the results of the most recent poll at TRR

I counted 20 Rider plates in Moose Jaw today. Way to go Moose Jaw representing the Rider pride.
Today’s Lyrics
“And all this talk of Jesus coming back to see us
Couldn't fool us
For we were spinning out our lines walking on the wire
Hand in hand went music and the rhyme”
I highly recommend the Salt & Pepper wings at The Press Box

"I was playing rock n roll and you were just a fan
But my guitar couldn't hold you
So I split the band"
Imo this song was one of the best rock n roll songs ever done and should be listened to with 1O00 watts being pushed through a set of Cerwin Vegas :-)
