[quote]DeKALB - Mark Neville didn't waste any time describing his time in San Diego.

Just minutes after being brought up to the podium during a pep rally for the Northern Illinois football team's invitation to the Poinsettia Bowl, the assistant executive director to the bowl outlined his day in San Diego on Friday.

Neville was on the beach for majority of the morning with his family, surfing the waters of the Pacific Ocean before spending the rest of the time on the beach.

At first, it seemed like a cruel joke on the Huskie fans, who were filing into the east endzone of the Convocation Center after spending a few minutes in the blustery weather. Nevertheless, Neville was only sketching a picture-perfect location in an attempt to lure the fans to the Huskies' bowl game against TCU.
