From Cody McCallum,

WHY DO YOU WEAR THE NUMBER 9?? ANY REASON???

Hey Cody!  The reason I wear number nine is because, my brother wore it in college plus I've always thought that number suits me for some reason.  And let's face it, it's the best number to wear in football period.  Thanks Cody

From Drew,

Reaper, I am so glad to see a veteran all-star like you back this year and see you say you want to be here for years to come. Before Shiv came many players would be here maybe 2 years tops and would jet for other teams. I know business is business, and I\'m very disapointed to see guys like Omar and D-Bush depart the G&W. I have spoken to a few players who have said they would not (and are not) playing here by choice. What do you appreciate most about the city/province here (more than one answer is fine :]), and what do you think players miss out on if they choose to play in Regina. & Do you think you could ever convince Aaron to move out this way? Thanks 9, Have a great season.

Hey Drew!  thanks for the e-mail.  Most guys who don't really want to be here are here for the wrong reason.  Ok maybe there isn't as much to do on a Friday or Saturday night here as it would be in say Montreal, Toronto, or Vancouver.  But, when you look at the real reason why players are here (to play football) it doesn't get any better.  I've always said that Saskatchewan is the Texas of Canadian football which is perfect for guys like me that grew up in Texas.  The fans in Texas absolutely love football and there is no better fans in Canada than right here in Saskatchewan.  As far as my brother playing here, I don't know.  He's happy where he's at.  I'm happy where I'm at.  We just agreed that as long as that stays true, we won't really worry about playing with each other.  Hope I answered everything.  Thanks again!

From Jon Luciuk

Hey Reg, its me Jon from the Scott Schultz camp. Will you be back at that camp next year because i wont be able to get the award if you arnt there to teach me. Thanks again bro

Hey Jon! Good to hear from you.  I don't know for sure if I'll be coaching the camp next year but, Scott Shultz is a good friend of mine so anytime he needs help I'm there.  You guys were great and I really enjoyed working with all of you.  I know your brother Matt won the MVP of the Scott Shultz scrimmage but, you have a lot to be proud of yourself.  I think you improved so much during that camp so keep it up.  Remember, when you get the play call, go over every possible scenario in your head before the ball is snap so (whether the offence stays in that formation or motions to something different) you'll know exactly what to do.  And when the ball is snapped the thinking is over.  The only thing left is to be relentless (which you are when you're not thinking during the play).  Have fun this year.  I will try to keep up with you and your brother.  Feel free to contact me anytime.  Take care.

From Daniel Eklund,

Hi Reggie! Nice Site! anyway my question to you is do you ever look at any fan sites? if not you should look some up we would love to have you! I know Andy Fantuz came on riderfans.com and chatted with us for awhile. Good Luck next season!

Hey Daniel! thanks for the e-mail.  I would definitely consider checking out riderfans site.  Obviously it would be a little tough for me to now with camp coming up.  I will be really busy for the next little while but, I will check it out for sure after camp.
