Heads up on Rider dual

[Tom McAndrew]

I'll be at the dual, so I won't be providing play-by-play during the match.

Some of you can access it via TV. In addition, Pipe will be conducting a chat on The Open Mat from the dual, so you could get info there. Lastly, I encourage 1 or more of you to start a dual thread, and post info about, thoughts, etc. for each match of the dual.
