He plays for Greenville Colllege in southern Illinois. D3 but it is still college football. :)



He plays fullback and on the kickoff return team.



I have a long drive ahead of me in the morning, something like 700-725 miles, I think. Too bad I have to turn around and go back on Sunday, it would be nice to meet some fellow Autopians in the St. Louis/southern Illinois area.
 
That's real cool Scott, regardless of the division. NFL scouts search all the divisions ;) Who knows, you may have seeded the next Mike Alstott! Then you can own those Bentleys and Porsches you detail!



There's nothing like college ball. I attended Indiana University when Trent Green played. Game day was a ton of fun with all the tailgating.
 
College Football Saturdays are so much fun!



Good luck to your son, Scott. :) That's awesome!



I'm just getting ready for when we play Indiana tomorrow!

GO BLUE!
 
Just got back from a trip which included the final game of my nephew. Would not trade it for the world.



Cannot imagine the excitement that would be created if it were my son playing .



Good Luck to your son!!
 
My nephew got signed up for the Miami Dolphins this year.

The drive was 743 miles from my brother's house in Rockwall (east side of the metromess) since I spent Thursday night there so I wouldn't have to drive through Dallas on a Friday morning. I was able to hop right on the freeway and avoid any rush hour traffic! I made it to Greenville, Illinois in about 10 1/2 hours. Yes, I was slightly exceeding the speed limit! With stops, I averaged just over 71 mph. ;)



Similar pace on the way back except I had to drive all the way home in Arlington, so it was 791 miles and took 11 hours, 20 minutes. Fun.



Had a great time there, really a great bunch of kids in the football program. Small school, about 1250 students so a tour of the campus didn't take long at all. We had a nice father/son breakfast before the game at the student cafeteria, probably half the players Dads were able to make it up. :)



My ex-wife also drove in and brought my younger son so I was able to spend time with him as well. All in all, a pretty good weekend....except for the people who seem completely unable to grasp the concept of "slower traffic stay to the right" and "left lane for passing only". ;)

Prinz,



When were you at Iowa State? I was at ISU from '83-'88 (the Walden/Criner years, not a good time for the Cyclone football fans, unfortunately).



They're a lot more fun to watch play these days (sorry, Buffalo fans!)
