Maybe he's interested in avian ecology. SIU has an excellent program. NU has zippo.

or maybe Platonic studies being that Carbondale is on the New Madrid Seismic Zone

Yes. Also Chico Vaughn, who used to (and maybe still does) hold the all time high school scoring record for Illinois. I saw Chico play with Lenny Wilkins and Bob Pettit for the Hawks in the mid ‘60’s.

I heard it’s pretty hard to score there. All the coeds just want to be friends.

Uh... no, they want a lot more. Have you ever been to Carbondale?

I went there for a Halloween weekend back in the 80s, but I, uh, don’t really remember much about it.

I get hes graduating from NU but he can get his Master payed for at any number of places and play ball. SIU? Sorry I know I sound like an elitist pr... but why?

Braden Jones from the football team also transferred there, played a bit, and spent some time on the Vikings squad as a TE.

Last I heard he eventually went to medical school and became a doctor. So it’s not quite the black hole educationally that some posters are making it out to be.

Good luck BB. We’ll all miss your hair and positive attitude during your time as a Wildcat.
