Klake, from one GEEK to another, that's just a great story! I've got the Dan Verdun Huskies history book and it's now signed by about 30 Huskie greats, including Tyrrell. Met him at the HOF induction ceremony when Michael Turner went in. Funny thing is, when I ask a Huskie great for their autograph in my book, they usually are surprised and more honored to sign it than I am asking for the autograph! Bob Heimerdinger and Tom Beck were literally speechless when I asked them to sign. Best story was PJ Fleck: He's got this great season going at WMU, and I know he's moving on after the season he's having. So I decide to drive up to WMU and watch his radio show and get his autograph in my book. On the commercial break I walk over and introduce myself to PJ and his wife. She says, "We have that book on our coffee table!" Anyway, they could NOT believe I drove up from Chicago to get his autograph. He took a picture with me, signed my book (with the RTB stuff, which actually cracked me up), and then when I left about an hour later they both waved and said "drive safe back to Chicago." My wife (an NIU alum and former Silverette); daughter (who now teaches at NIU); and son (who loves the Huskies even though he went to U of I) all worry about my sanity, but what the hey, I love this stuff! I will tell you: Anyone can be a fan of Alabama, the Packers, the Yankees, blah blah blah. But give me a guy who gets jazzed about meeting Tim Tyrrell, and I'll take that any day. We are NIU alum, and proud of it. Awesome story! Thanks for sharing.
