- Andy Fantuz gets demoted to backup status - he'll be given every opportunity to shake his case of the dropsies, and will be back in the starting lineup by Labour Day at the latest.
- Wes Cates is named the starting tailback. No surprise, really. Cates was the bright spot for the Riders' offense last week.
- Eddie Davis is on the 9-game injury list. This one hurts an awful lot.
- Eric Tillman and a message board poster get into a nasty public spat, then kiss and make up by mid-week. Rod Pedersen's matchmaking service scores another win!
I fully expect the Riders to come out flying tomorrow, and hopefully maintain that intensity for a full four quarters. It's a crying shame young Jacob won't be there. He'll be missing his first Rider game in two years, as he's dragged off to some sort of Appalachian hootenanny. Poor kid.

Hey Pistol Pete,
Fantastic win over Edmonton, shows alot of heart in the way they bounced back after the loss last week.
The changes were neded, gotta shake the tree abit!
I am very impressed with how Eric Tillman handled the situation. I recieved a very long email from Tillman last week, I definitely am impressed with this guy.
My stance still remains the same, NO G.M. should be online conversing with fans, in good or bad times. I hope it is a lesson learned by all, and I hope the Riders executive pull the cord on his internet chats with disgruntled fans!!
Coach
Yessir Coach, that was some impressive stuff. The finally put together the elusive 60 minute effort.
I'm also impressed with ET. I respect his desire to be accountable to the fans. But his time can be better served than taking on message board haters.
