Getting Jalen Hurts and Jeff Thomas would be absolutely huge for UM. Still need to work on the OLine but they have a ton of talent down there

Yeah no one knows what the hell is going on. He apparently signed financial aid, but no one knows about letter of intent..

 

[SoIll]

Illinois has a locker with his name on it, and the coaches expect him there tomorrow. He was not at Miami's team meeting last night.. so who knows

What is Southern Illinois? Carbondale & south or everything south of St Louis?

 

[BobbyMac]

Nevermind.

I just go by this, Carterville is near Carbondale, which is definitely in Southern Illinois.

Chicago needs their own state, or cut it off from Peoria on up. Completely different lifestyles from northern/southern Illinois.

Went through Cairo on the way to the Cotton Bowl. Nothing there. Probably hasn't been anything there since Grant was promoted. lol

Quite possible. Beautiful country, very unlike the rest of the state. But man the towns are small

Richie Petitbon's gotta be the grandson of former Bears / Redskins, Richie Petitbon.

Richie Petitbon I should be in the HOF. 4x Pro Bowler at safety with 48 career Int's, NFL Champ w/ the Bears ('63) and 3x Super Bowl champ as Washington's DC ('82 '87 '91). What else do you have to do, sell hot dogs at halftime?

Good Catholic family that played at Tulane, Maryland (Dad) and now Bama/Illinois

I remember watching him when I was a pup. Great player. Pretty sure he sold red hots at halftime.

Cairo is one of those old school segregated towns. Pull in for gas and it's like being transported back to 1959 Mississippi.
