Hey BlazerEdgers!

This is SlyPokerDog, I've met a few of you and traded posts with a lot of you over the years on many different sites. The Rippy Awards kicked off today and I wanted to make sure to invite all of you to join in the fun.

You can vote on any of the Blazers official social media sites by posting #TheRippys, #NameOfAward and #NameOfWhoYouAreVotingFor or by going to RipCityTwo.com.

Voting for Blazer Broadcaster of the Year and the Blazer Beat Writer of the Year are now open. Ben Golliver is one of the nominees but any of them would make a great choice.

Also we're taking nominations for Tuesday's Rippy Award category, Best Place to Eat at the Moda Center.

If you look at the rest of the schedule we have some really fun, fan based Rippys. Not only do the winners of these get a beautiful award plaque but also I'm hearing rumors of prizes of jerseys and signed basketballs. So this is the time to put a fresh coat of paint on your fan cave or find that one of kind two headed bobblehead hidden up in the attic.

If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer them.

Go Blazers!
