Wow, Mr Meyers..there is a blast from the past.

A former co-worker just got a job for these guys. He says its crazy how great they treat their employees.

The pay is overall a little lower but its the benefits that make it.
On time for the week and they get a case of bottled beer.
This friend is starting with more paid vacation/holiday/sick days on day 1 at this place than I get at my place after 8 years.
Insurance is 1/4 the price too.

Also in the lunch room are 2 taps...just in case you are thirsty!

NIU really should pursue this. At least make an attempt. Their food is also 1000X's better than Fatty's.

Lagunitas is awesome and will have a big effect on the chicago beer market. They opened up a big brewery!

Lagunitas Stadium!

We'll give the Illini a little Sump'n Sump'n

Are college teams allowed to have an alcohol sponsor?

This really (Lagunitas) Sucks.


GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


P.S. If you think I don't like Lagunitas, you've never had their Sucks. Also Maximus is one of my go to beers.

Why can't The Grotto sponsor the stadium???

Could certainly tie in "The Hard Way" slogan.

It's possibility, but only if NIU allows the Grotto's professional staff to do the gate searches. No one would be able to sneak stuff into the stadium in their privates. However, on the positive side, attendance would swell. I already have some give-away gifts lined up for the first lucky fans to enter.

Now that is actually a good idea.
