i talked to Ryan Brown's father in the airport on the way home and we talked about how academics and NIU are real priorities. His kid already has his BS and now workiong on Masters. He stated that you do not get a degree at NIU you earn one. And once again the thought came to me that just maybe we have this whole college football thing just right.

Always cool to see guys succeeding like this, especially in difficult majors like Accounting.

It's good to get reminders of that from time to time. They've done things the right way so far, hopefully that continues.

I don't know, but I'm watching The Twilight Zone now on SyFy, and I think I just saw a cameo appearance by Jiff as the devil.
