Offensive lineman Jason Jimenez signed with the Tiger-Cats in February after spending four years with the B.C. Lions.

Q: Do you have any pre-game rituals that you follow?
Jason:  I like to get to the stadium as late as possible.  I hate sitting around and waiting.

Q:  What is your favourite personal football memory?
Jason:  In college, when we (Southern Mississippi) beat Alabama 21-0, it was the first time in school history that we shut them out and one of a handful of times we beat them.

Q:  Who is an athlete you admired growing up?
Jason: I loved watching Lawrence Taylor and Joe Montana as a kid.  Jerry Rice too and I actually had a chance to be a teammate of his for a while when I was in Oakland.

Q:  What surprised you the most when you got to the CFL?

Jason:  Probably the kicking rules, I wasn't too sure about that. I had no idea about the single.

Q:  If you weren't playing football where would you be?
Jason:  I'd like to work in foreign policy some day in the States.

Q:  If you could try another position on the field what would it be?
Jason:  I wouldn't mind playing tight end or maybe defensive end.

Q:  Do you have a favourite pre-game meal?
Jason : Pretty much as many food as I can possibly eat.  As long as it's hot and it tastes good I'll eat it.

Q:  Whats getting the most play in your iPod or car right now?
Jason:  I like to listen to a lot of Salsa and Meringue.  I like to listen to some Mudvayne too, guys like that.

Q:  Do you have any game day superstitions?
Jason:  My one superstition and I'm yet to be proven wrong is that I need to listen to some sort of heavy metal before the game. Every time we've played it in the locker room we've won and every time we haven't, we've lost.
