"The thing I like most about GRITZ is the honesty. The reason people read it is because of you, Buffalo. You know the history because you lived it, and you aren't always trying to work some "angle" during interviews. You just relax and have a conversation. I really like that. I am a big fan of GRITZ."
- Dickey Betts

"After filming all day, I soooo look forward to coming home, logging on, and find out what's going on in my other world. The world of Southern Rock. I live in Los Angeles and it just isn't appreciated like it should be here. I go back in the early 70's with Toy Caldwell and company, I played with the Reds in Greensboro, NC and 3 times a year made the trip to Spartanburg. You might say that is where I was schooled. Still, my days are started with a little "Cattle Drive" or "Midnight Promises." You guys do a bang up job keepin us informed out here. Kudo's to you and thanks much. Long Live Gritz !"
- Brad Lesley, former Cincinatti Reds pitcher turned film actor
